But listen, of course Liverpool fans want to see better footballers. Of course they want to see better results.

And yeah, of course they don't want to be a team that win one and lose one," jelas Owen.

Kecenderungan Salah yang jarang berbicara kepada media membuat setiap pernyataan tertulisnya berdampak masif.

"There was nothing that he said that was wrong, it was just that he said it. That was the thing," lanjut Owen.

Owen menambahkan dampak dari ucapan kritis yang ditujukan langsung kepada pihak manajemen dapat menciptakan situasi yang sangat tidak kondusif.

"I think the problem with Mo Salah is obviously he rarely speaks. But when he does speak, he's dropping hand grenades.

If he spoke all the time, then it might not come as a massive shock. But whatever he's going to say, it's huge, huge news.

And obviously if it's always disparaging, let's say towards the club or towards a manager or whatever, then it just goes nuclear in many ways," papar Owen.

Owen menyimpulkan tindakan egois tersebut tidak memberikan keuntungan ataupun solusi bagi perbaikan performa tim yang tengah merosot.

"So yeah, I agree with everything he said, but I don't agree with him saying it because what help is it doing to anybody?

It's just not," kata Owen.

Sebelumnya, melalui akun media sosial pribadinya, Mohamed Salah secara terbuka mengungkapkan rasa bangganya sekaligus kepedihan mendalam atas pencapaian tim musim ini.

"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," tulis Salah.

Pemain berusia 33 tahun tersebut mendesak agar tim segera mengembalikan skema taktik menyerang total yang sempat ditakuti oleh lawan-lawan mereka.

"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," tegas Salah dalam unggahannya.

Hubungan antara Salah dan staf kepelatihan dilaporkan merenggang sejak akhir tahun 2025 ketika sang pemain sempat dicadangkan. Situasi ini diperkirakan akan berakhir seiring dengan tuntasnya laga melawan Brentford.
