Leeds, England, 7 December (H.S.): Mohamed Salah unleashed a blistering critique of Liverpool and manager Arne Slot following the club's dramatic 3-3 draw against Leeds United on Saturday, accusing the organization of scapegoating him amid a dismal run that has dropped the defending Premier League champions to eighth place.

Benched for the third consecutive match and unused despite a late collapse from a 3-2 lead, the Egyptian superstar—Liverpool's third all-time leading scorer with 250 goals in 420 appearances—lamented broken summer promises and a severed relationship with Slot, declaring, I'm very, very disappointed... the club has thrown me under the bus.

Salah, whose five goals in 19 outings this season pale against his prior dominance, hinted that next weekend's Anfield clash with Brighton could mark his farewell before the Africa Cup of Nations, potentially paving the way for a January Saudi Pro League move despite his April contract extension.

I have done so much for this club... I don't know what is going to happen now, he told reporters at Elland Road, insisting his spot was earned and vowing family support for Liverpool even amid the rift.

Slot justified the omission by prioritizing game control at 3-2 up, contrasting Salah's brief Sunderland cameo when a goal was needed, as Liverpool grapples with just two wins in their last 10 league fixtures. The outburst amplifies tensions for the Dutch tactician, with speculation rife over Salah's future as Saudi clubs circle the 33-year-old icon.
