Liverpool dressing room reaction to "victim" Mohamed Salah amid criticism

Mohamed Salah continues to have the backing of the Liverpool dressing room despite his recent struggles in front of goal.

Six club games without a goal represents his longest scoreless run in more than three years, but the Egypt star was still at ease when he spoke to the media after the Reds' FA Cup semi-final victory on Saturday. And while he might not have scored since converting a penalty against Brighton on March 12, he continues to contribute in other ways.

This has not been lost on his teammates, with right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold suggesting recent criticism has been unfair.
