Conor Coady drops verdict on Mohamed Salah outburst
Liverpool have been at the centre of attention for most football fans over the last few days.
Although the Anfield outfit are often spoken about, thanks to Mohamed Salah's attack on Arne Slot, almost every football fan in the world has had their say on the situation.
Salah may be one of Liverpool's best-ever players in recent memory, but, after just three games on the bench, the Egyptian King shouldn't have gone at his manager as harshly as he did.
Indeed, the fact that some other players such as Cody Gakpo can perform poorly and still get a game should be questioned but, it feels like this could've all been solved behind closed doors, rather than in the public eye.
Fans are split either way behind who they feel like they should support with former Everton centre-back Conor Coady now sharing his thoughts on the situation.

Conor Coady believes Mohamed Salah has put his Liverpool teammates in jeopardy
Without Salah among their ranks last season, Liverpool would've likely missed out on the Premier League title.
The Egyptian King put in a record-breaking campaign last term and his 50+ goal contributions made him one of the Reds' most important players.
This season, things haven't gone quite to plan and while his bad form justifies him sitting on the bench, the fact that players such as Gakpo and Ibrahima Konate are still getting games has seemingly struck a nerve with the attacker.
Reactions about Salah's situation have been shared since Saturday with Coady now chiming in with his thoughts.
“I don’t know Mo Salah, none of us know Mo Salah so we don’t know the sort of character he is,” he said on the BBC's Football Daily Podcast.
“But we know he’s got this in him because he did it last season when it comes to getting a new contract.
“We know he’s got that in him and I’ve been trying to put myself in the shoes [of Salah] because I knew I was coming on here and from his point of view, why would it go to them lengths.
“I can only think of something has gone on behind the scenes that we don’t know about.
“Now he should never ever go to the press and do what he’s done because you put your teammates in jeopardy and that’s the most important thing.”
Mohamed Salah being left out of Liverpool's Champions League squad is justified
Even though Liverpool are already short on attackers as it is, it feels like leaving Salah out of the Reds' Champions League squad was the best move.
It's clear that starting on the bench for the Reds' last few games has hurt Salah more than most fans, and perhaps even Slot could've ever imagined and even though neither party wants a January exit to occur, that unfortunately feels like the way things are heading.
Due to Salah's omission, a lot of pressure will be placed upon the heads of players such as Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike and if they can perform well alongside one another and perhaps even win the tie, it could be the start of a new-look Liverpool.
The 2025-26 season has been far from ideal and with Liverpool's Premier League title hopes close to non-existent at the moment, a solid Champions League run could really help out everyone involved with the Anfield outfit.
That is, especially when one of the Reds' main goals this season was to perform well in the competition with Slot even saying that he'd prefer to win the Champions League rather over the top flight title this term.
