With Liverpool already in crisis after suffering nine defeats from their past 15 games in all competitions, star forward Mohamed Salah fanned the flames by taking aim at the club for "throwing him under the bus."
Salah started the first 12 Premier League games but, after netting just four goals and two assists, he was dropped to the bench for the third consecutive game against Leeds United on Saturday night and made a beeline for reporters in the mixed zone following his team's 3-3 draw at Elland Road.
"Someone wants me to get all the blame," he said.
