After the game, Klopp refused to share the cause of the disagreement but admitted that he had spoken to Salah in the dressing room and everything was sorted. “I had that at Manchester United a few times.

There’s only one winner, but the problem is that the manager is leaving which helps Salah a little bit.

What was noticeable, he’s right in front of me up against Mykolenko, I can’t remember him getting the ball. I think we showed that he had about five to six touches after 30-odd minutes. “Salah’s just hit a brick wall.

You’ve got be careful, there was a player out here [in the north London derby] called Son [Heung-min] that I think hit a brick wall probably about 18 months ago, where he looked like he was gone and he was struggling. “These players play so much football they play so consistently and Salah has been almost ever present for like six or seven years.
