Arne Slots struggles as Liverpool manager worsened significantly on Saturday after Mohamed Salah criticised both the coach and the clubs hierarchy following a disheartening defeat against Leeds.
The Premier League champions are enduring a worrying slide, having managed just four wins from their last 15 matches in all competitions, and now face the added complication of a very public fallout with one of the greatest players in their history.
Salah stands third on the club's all-time goalscoring list with 250 goals, behind only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt, and was instrumental in two league title successes - most notably last season, when he dominated the individual awards as Slot captured the title in his first campaign in charge.
