Salah’s angry words after Liverpool’s draw with Leeds, his third consecutive match on the bench, threw his future into question.

“That’s the man he is.
“I can only speak from knowing Mo, how he is with us, and how he has acted on it.
“He was positive too. He was exactly the same as Mo, he had a big smile on his face and everyone was exactly the same as him.”
“I think it’s just part of wanting to be a winner and I don’t think it will be the last.
“I understand there are certain ways you can deal with things. But if it’s okay for a player to be on the bench and he doesn’t want to play and help the team, I think that’s a bigger problem.”
“Whenever there’s any kind of anger from us, including myself, it’s always from a good place.
