The Reds avoided 5 defeats in a row after a 5-1 victory over Bundesliga side Frankfurt on Wednesday night, as they made it 2 wins out of 3 in their Champions League campaign so far.
However, despite the excellent performance, the Egyptian King started on the bench once more in a move that did not shock many fans who have been keen to remind the veteran winger that he has been underwhelming this season.
After the game, the 33-year-old has replaced his header image and profile picture on X, leaving them blank. This has clearly come due to the criticism as of late, with him having registered just three goals and 3 assists in 12 appearances during the 2025/26 campaign.
The Egyptian finally made it on for the final 16 minutes against Frankfurt. However, he was deemed selfish when he chose to shoot on a number of occasions, including one when he could have squared the ball to Florian Wirtz who was open in the box.
Interestingly, former manager Jurgen Klopp spoke recently on social media activity and suggested that Salah should be open with why he made such a choice.
"We had a situation that a player texted or posted something at night and deleted it, but I still became aware of it.
"So, not that I read it, but people told me, 'Oh, last night this and that happened.' 'When?' 'Three o'clock.'
"What I do in these situations, even deleted, I go in the dressing room, say 'last night, this and this happened, got deleted, I know what's there, but maybe you want to tell everybody."
