Liverpool Under Fire: Rooney Slams Salah for 'Disrespectful' Comments After Leeds Draw
Former England captain Wayne Rooney has come out swinging in defense of Liverpool, criticizing Mohamed Salah's comments following the Reds' dramatic 3-3 draw with Leeds. According to Rooney, Salah's remarks were "disrespectful" and have put the club under intense pressure.
The tension has been building since the match, which saw Liverpool bounce back from a two-goal deficit to secure a point against their bitter rivals. However, it appears that some of the team's players took umbrage with the way they performed on the pitch, particularly Salah.
In an interview, Rooney suggested that the Egyptian forward's comments were not only unprofessional but also undermined his own teammates' efforts. "These types of comments have thrown Liverpool under the bus," Rooney said bluntly.
It is worth noting that Salah has yet to publicly release a statement about the match or his comments following it. Rooney's criticism, however, suggests that he believes Salah's remarks were unwarranted and may have caused unnecessary tension within the team.
The situation highlights the challenges faced by Liverpool in maintaining cohesion among their squad members despite their on-field success. With the likes of Salah and others at the club's disposal, any perceived friction can be magnified quickly.
As the Reds look to build momentum ahead of future matches, it remains to be seen how they will navigate this delicate situation and respond to Rooney's concerns.

... I mean, if you've just lost a 2-goal lead at home and your teammates are counting on you to come through, wouldn't some words of encouragement or support be in order? 
It's like the old saying goes, 'leading by example', right? And isn't that what Salah is supposed to be doing as one of Liverpool's top players? The fact that he hasn't publicly responded yet is telling... maybe Rooney is just trying to put his own spin on things to get attention 
. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out and if the team can bounce back from this drama 
the guy's a superstar, comes out and makes some comments that are kinda petty, but whatever. rooney's just trying to cover his own team's behinds. newsflash: if you're getting roasted on social media, maybe take a deep breath and apologize instead of taking it out on your teammates 
is it still possible to be a great player without being able to work with your mates? 
. Rooney needs to understand that.
.
. Maybe Rooney should focus on supporting the team instead of tearing them down 
Rooney's got a point though, Salah should be supporting his teammates, not tearing them down. 
. Rooney right to call him out on that one 
. Club's got enough to worry about without internal drama 
. Should've kept his mouth shut after a tough loss 
.
like seriously wat a way 4 him 2 speak up like dat but at the same time i feel like salah might hv been out of line 
. Rooney's all right tho, he's still got it 
... I mean, he's got a point, Mo Salah did seem pretty down on the team after the match 
The thing is, with players like Salah and others at Liverpool, there's always gonna be some tension, but if they can learn to work through it, that's what makes for an epic team dynamic 
. If only Salah had taken a deep breath before speaking out, maybe things would've played out differently 
... easy to say, harder to do, but worth it 
. Rooney's right, it's not cool... Salah needs to chill out and focus on being part of a team, not a diva 
! Rooney is right though, Salah's comments were lowkey savage and put the whole team on blast 
. It's like, if you're gonna roast your teammates in a post-game interview, at least have the decency to keep it on the DL 
. I'm Team Liverpool all the way and I think Rooney has their backs on this one 
. Can't wait to see how Liverpool handles this situation
