**Mohamed Salah’s explosive social media statement has been a huge story this weekend, and now a new claim has emerged regarding it.**
The 33-year-old produced a [stunning post](https://x.com/MoSalah/status/2055661083851903174?s=20) on Saturday, making it fairly clear what he thinks of Arne Slot and calling for a return of “heavy metal” football:
_“I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve._
_“I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it._
_“Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.”_
According to a respected source on [_X_](https://x.com/indykaila/status/2055924509706723604?s=20), Liverpool’s players were aware that Salah’s statement was coming, with the situation described as “explosive”:
_“The Mo Salah statement was planned and few of his close teammates knew it was coming. We were told this morning that certain LFC players are in Monaco for a 2-3 days break. The fallout within the squad is explosive regarding the current situation.”_
**A Liverpool mess that should only end one way**
-------------------------------------------------
It has been quite the weekend, following Friday’s woeful 4-2 defeat away to Aston Villa in the Premier League, with Salah going all in before he leaves Liverpool.
Perhaps most damning for Slot is that so many Reds players liked the post on social media, suggesting that they have had enough of what is going on under the head coach, too.
Slot surely has to be sacked at the end of the season because it feels almost impossible to imagine him turning things around to the level they were at last season.
Recent reports have continued to state that FSG are planning to stick with the 47-year-old, but there is a feeling that things have changed after this latest Salah saga.
