“It’s sad, but I think that it could have been dealt with by him better.
“If you look at the Andy Robertson video, it’s, ‘I’m leaving, I’m really grateful. It’s been an incredible nine years, love the club and I’ll always come back’.
“And I just think that Salah’s was a little, and I understand it, forwards are very much a different beast than a full-back. Full-backs are very much the Steady Eddie of a team and the dependables, and they very rarely get the headlines.
“Mo Salah’s in that kind of group of players where he’s got absolute belief in himself and his own ability, so that when he’s dropped, he takes it very, very personally. But still, nonetheless, when people say Mo Salah’s been extremely good for Liverpool, Liverpool have been extremely good for Mo Salah.”
