LONDON, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has sympathy for Mohamed Salah after his public outburst against the club but believes his comments about being 'thrown under the bus' went too far.

Club talisman Salah caused a media storm with comments after last weekend's Premier League draw with Leeds United in which he claimed he had been made a scapegoat for Liverpool's poor form and that his relationship with boss Arne Slot has deteriorated.
