Mohamed Salah said Liverpool must return to being a 'heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear' in a statement on Saturday 21:22, Sat, May 16, 2026 Updated: 21:22, Sat, May 16, 2026 Steven Gerrard gave his view after Mo Salah's statement (Image: Getty)Steven Gerrard has questioned whether Mohamed Salah was speaking on behalf of the Liverpool dressing room when he delivered a withering assessment of his side’s style of play. "Mo Salah doesn't really speak much, and he doesn't tweet, and he certainly doesn't tweet like that.“So I think that he's sending a message to the outside that things in that Liverpool dressing room are not right: the identity's gone and it's really hurting him to see it in front of his own eyes.“I'm surprised of the timing.

You guys know, you've been involved in the media: he very rarely speaks, he's done interviews lately because he's obviously bringing the curtain down on an incredible Liverpool career.“But that is quite damning to the Liverpool manager and the staff in terms of where this team's at. It's strange, it's unusual.Salah was dejected after Liverpool's defeat to Aston Villa (Image: Getty)“He's going to be doing a load of media around his last game, I'm sure.

I'm really looking forward to the coming days because that's unusual for a Liverpool player, and it's unusual for Mo Salah."Defeat to Unai Emery’s side at Villa Park was Liverpool's 19th defeat of the season in all competitions, and their hopes of playing in next season’s Champions League remain in the balance. The pressure’s on the players and the pressure’s on the manager because it hasn’t been nowhere near good enough."The performance last night was terrible, it was awful, it was difficult to watch from start to finish and it hurt me watching Liverpool last night.
