Mo Salah should be revered as one of Liverpool’s greatest players of all-time.
A true club legend who has scored 250 goals in 420 appearances over the past eight years.
A man who has delivered some iconic moments in helping the club win two Premier League titles as well as a Champions League.
In the pantheon of Liverpool greats, he should be up there with Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard, Graeme Souness and the likes.
Purely in terms of what he has achieved on the pitch, he should leave Anfield as a hero.
But Salah has wrecked all of that.

He hasn’t just burned his bridges with the club. He has doused those bridges in petrol and taken a flamethrower to them.
It’s not the first time he’s pulled a stunt like this either. When Salah stops and speaks in a mixed zone, it’s invariably for personal gain.
He doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as those aforementioned legends.
Salah’s incendiary interview last weekend after being left on the bench for the 3-3 draw at Leeds means there should be no way back.
Not unless he is willing to hold his hands up and issue a grovelling apology to manager Arne Slot and the rest of his team-mates.
But, given that Salah clearly feels he is the victim here and has been ‘thrown under a bus’, the chances of that happening feel slim.
His comments were a disgrace. He has tarnished his legacy and caused irreparable damage to his relationship with the club.
Especially the line where he spoke about not having to fight for his position every day because of what he has achieved in the past.
Seriously, who does he think he is?

His arrogance is off the charts and the whole thing just came across as a selfish attempt at self-preservation.
By positioning himself against Slot in such an explosive fashion, Salah is effectively trying to get the manager sacked.
The whole thing was pre-meditated. Salah knew exactly what he was doing.
Liverpool would be extremely foolish if they backed a 33-year-old player on the decline over a manager who won a league title only a few months ago.
Salah’s time at Liverpool is coming to an end. Whether it’s in January or next summer, he will most probably be sold to the Saudi Pro League.
Whenever that time eventually comes, Liverpool should be glad to see the back of such an arrogant, self-centred brat.
