The Reds were beaten 4-2 by Aston Villa at Villa Park on Friday night, surrendering a place next season's Champions League to the Villans in the process.

It was the club's 12th defeat of the season under manager Arne Slot this season and means they will end the campaign without a win away from home against any team in the top nine of the Premier League this season.

Salah has fallen out of favour at Anfield and will depart the club at the conclusion of the season and this is not the first time he has gone public with the frustration.

Back in December, he revealed his relationship with Slot was nonexistent and that he felt that he was being blamed and "thrown under the bus" as an excuse for the Reds' poor form.

Despite his imminent exit, the Egyptian striker still seems to care deeply about the future of the club and claims big changes are needed if Liverpool is to become the force it once was under Klopp.

"I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that," he posted to social media site X on Saturday.

"Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies.

"That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.

"Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.

"Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.

"As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen," the statement concluded.

After the defeat to Villa on Friday, the increasingly under-pressure Slot acknowledged the frustration of the club's fans following a disappointing season and promised things would improve.

"I can understand at this moment of time that they don't have a lot of confidence or a lot of feeling that things can be much better next season," Slot said.

"But I think then they are underestimating what a window can do, what a new start can do, and I think we know quite well what to improve."

The Dutch manager also blamed a slew of injuries to key players for their lack of consistency this season.

"If you miss nine players that can start a game of football, and almost all of them are starters for us or have been for large part of the season, then if you add that to what you can improve in a window and add that to players that are playing for the second season in the Premier League, that will automatically lead to much more," he said.

"I don't think the differences are so big, only doing in a few situations the right thing can already have a best massive upwards possibility."
