John Aldridge Discusses Manchester City Match and Mohamed Salah’s Contract Status

Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge appeared on BBC Radio 5 Live to preview the upcoming weekend fixture against Manchester City and address the ongoing contract situation of Mohamed Salah. Regarding the impact of Manchester City’s loss of Rodri, Aldridge commented: “You you’d expect the amount of money that they’ve shelved out over the last eight years or so that that they’re giving people a chance to come in and do the job, but they haven’t and lost belief. And that happens to all really good, great teams.” When asked if Liverpool would be playing a ‘wounded animal’ on Sunday, he stated: “If they perform on the day – and they’ve got a point to prove next week – then it’s going to be such a tough game for us. You know absolutely they’re a tremendous squad and I expect nothing but a really hard game next week.” On the subject of Mo Salah’s contract situation, Aldridge remarked: “It’s a little bit political, isn’t it. It’s a well known trait of Liverpool to keep things close to their chest but I think the fans will demand to know what’s going on to a certain degree.” Concerning the fans’ desire for Salah to remain at the club, he added: “Absolutely, look at his figures. They’re obscene and unbelievable.”
