Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has called on Liverpool to return to the “heavy metal” style of football that defined the club under former manager Jürgen Klopp after their damaging 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa.
Liverpool’s latest loss left their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League hanging in the balance and increased frustration among supporters following a disappointing campaign.
Salah, who is set to leave Anfield at the end of the season after nine years at the club, expressed his disappointment in a strongly worded social media post.
As reported by BBC Sport on Saturday, Salah said, “Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve,” Salah wrote.
