Wayne Rooney warning looks to have hit home after what Mo Salah posted online

Speaking on The Wayne Rooney Show, the former England striker said: “Van Dijk and Salah, they’ve signed new deals but I don’t think they’ve really led that team this season. Body language tells you a lot.”

Judging by Salah’s latest post, that message might have hit home.

The 33-year-old was pictured surrounded by weights and gym equipment, with a caption-free story that spoke volumes about his mentality.

It’s exactly the kind of attitude Melissa Reddy called for earlier this week when she urged for “patience, perspective and grace” during what she described as a “tricky transition.”

She noted that there’s “too much talent and mental fortitude” in this squad for us not to come through this spell and Salah looks determined to prove her right.

Liverpool’s focus turns to Aston Villa and Real Madrid

After being rested for the Carabao Cup defeat to Crystal Palace, Salah is expected to start against Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday before a massive Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

For all the talk of tactics and body language, this latest post shows what matters most – hard work, leadership, and the will to put Liverpool back where we belong.

As Salah’s image suggested: actions speak louder than words.
