Mohamed Salah insists "crumbling" Liverpool need to recover their identity, calling for a return of the "heavy metal attacking team" that made them feared under Jurgen Klopp.
It was another difficult night for Liverpool under Arne Slot as they lost 4-2 at Villa Park, leaving their Champions League hopes still in the balance.
And in a bombshell statement, Salah, who is set to leave Anfield in the summer, has called for change.
In a statement posted on social media, Salah said: "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.
"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. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good.
"It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
