Mohamed Salah criticises ‘crumbling’ Liverpool’s season and demands return to ‘heavy metal’ football

• Salah posted on social media after 4-2 loss at Villa

• Egyptian forward’s comments appear aimed at Slot

Mohamed Salah has launched another withering critique on Liverpool, the club he is set to depart after next weekend.

In Friday’s 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa, Salah came on as a late substitution, as the result cast into doubt fifth-placed Liverpool’s participation in next season’s Champions League. Arne Slot, the Liverpool manager with whom Salah has had a mixed relationship this season, came under fire.
