And I don't understand. I don't understand why he is doing it."You know, everyone is looking forward to saying goodbye to Mohamed Salah.

There will be some who will be looking at it and thinking: 'Hang on a second, why are you criticising our club?'"We all know it's been tough season. I can't tell you how disappointed I am in it, you know."I think the guy has been absolutely superb for Liverpool, he's been a fantastic player and up until now, for me, he has conducted himself at the highest level and then he goes and does this."Nicol, who made 468 appearances for the club between 1981 and 1995, believes 33-year-old Salah is struggling to come to terms with his diminishing importance to a club he has represented with distinction since 2017.Nicol added: "Liverpool have had so many fantastic players over the last 40 years."You know the whole thing started in the mid-60s, all the way through to when I left and Liverpool were struggling, and then they came back again, and then they struggled and then they came back with Jurgen Klopp."The amount of quality, world-class players that have been in the very same position that he finds himself in now.

His time has come, he is at the back end of his career and it happens to every single one of us as professionals."But at Liverpool, there have been so many stars who have finished their time there and haven't been regular starters [at the end] that have gone through similar things that this guy has gone through and how many of them do you remember have come out criticising the club, the manager, the team or anybody else?"Because you don't do it. That's what it's called and he has shown in that statement he doesn't have the class of his former veterans at Liverpool who showed absolute class, who were in the same position and I'll repeat it."Because when we come to the end of our careers, the only thing that happens is you end up on the bench and then you end up not even on the bench."It happens to us all, so that is a lack of class from Mo Salah, which I can't believe I thought I would ever say that."FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
