‘Something’s up’ – Mohamed Salah makes beeline for tunnel as Liverpool celebrate late win
Troy Deeney believes ‘something is up’ with Mohamed Salah after watching him head straight for the tunnel after Liverpool’s late win over Brentford. Salah fired a rare blank against the Bees as a stoppage-time double from Darwin Nunez secured a 2-0 win for the Reds. Salah turned in an uninspiring display against BrentfordGetty It marked the third-straight game in which the Egyptian superstar had failed to score, having found the back of the net in 11 of his last 12 league Premier League fixtures. Once the full-time whistle had gone, Liverpool‘s stars made their way to celebrate with their travelling supporters at the Gtech Community Stadium. But there was one curious exception that ex-Premier League striker Deeney immediately noticed. “Notably, Salah is the first one off the pitch,” Deeney said on talkSPORT. “Something’s up with that fella today. Whether it’s something with Saudi, whether there’s a move, but he’s not been at the races today. “Him going down the tunnel first, even though 95 per cent of the team is over there celebrating, says a lot to me.” It was the second time Salah failed to register a goal or an assist against Brentford from seven games. The Egyptian fired off three shots in the match but ultimately could not convert. During the match, Deeney observed Salah’s attitude and was less than impressed. “He doesn’t look interested,” Deeney said. Match Stats “He’s standing on the touchline and if he sprints inside, he’s one-on-one every time. But he doesn’t look like he wants to. “I’d be really disappointed if I was a Liverpool fan.” Salah has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal with his contract set to expire in June. The Egyptian has publicly admitted he is ‘more out than in’ amid protracted contract talks with Liverpool, who remain keen to keep him. Salah, who has scored 232 goals for Liverpool, is currently free to negotiate pre-contract agreements with foreign clubs. Deeney added: “It wasn’t like he was five steps ahead of the others. “The whole team was celebrating in the corner and he was 70 metres away. Salah appeared relatively reluctant to get involved against Brentford “It was like, ‘Job done, I’m out of here’. There might be something else going on and I’m overreacting. But that said a lot to me.” Deeney also expressed his surprise at Salah remaining on the field when Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz, who started alongside the Egyptian in the Reds’ front three, were taken off. “I get stick because I said he’s not world class in my opinion,” Deeney said. “I just think when he’s not at the top of his game, the game passes him by. I genuinely believe that. “His record is unbelievable. But when you’re in this situation, you need your big players to keep seeing it through, keep getting the job done. “If it was anyone else, he’d have been taken off. Gakpo was poor today but did a lot more than Salah. Diaz came off and did a lot more than Salah. He’s living off, ‘He may get you that goal.’ “Liverpool fans will probably give me a bit of stick but if you watched the game and you watch him as closely as we did, he offered nothing today.”
