Salah and Klopp clash in Liverpool draw vs. West Ham

Latest entertainment gist

It is all going downhill for Liverpool and for the fans, the current campaign cannot end sooner than the remaining games on the cards to be played.

In the 2-2 draw versus their London hosts, West Ham United, a key moment emerged to show there may be a lot more going wrong in the Liverpool dressing room than the public knows.

The key moment was captured in the second half when substitute, Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp were pictured having a row on the touchline prior to coming on as a late substitute in the game.

The Reds boss according to the footage had reportedly initiated the hostile row when he confronted the Egyptian ahead of Salah coming on to replace Luis Diaz.

The former AS Roma was seen replying confrontationally at the manager before fellow substitute, Darwin Nunez had to pull him back from the row with the boss.

For a side whose hopes had ran out towards challenging for any meaningful silverware at the end of Jurgen Klopp’s last season at Liverpool, the footage is a lot worrying.
