Carragher calls Salah 'daft' for his remark to reporters after spat with Klopp

Jamie Carragher has described Mohamed Salah as 'daft' for his mixed zone 'fire' comment after the Liverpool star's touchline spat with manager Jurgen Klopp.

The Egyptian was dropped to the bench for Liverpool's 2-2 draw at West Ham on Saturday and looked decidedly unhappy with Klopp when he was finally introduced in the 79th minute.

Salah waves his arms, pointed towards Klopp and continued to berate his manager before striker Darwin Nunez, also brought on at the same time, intervened to calm him down.

Afterwards, Salah told waiting reporters in the London Stadium mixed zone: 'If I speak, there will be fire.'

Klopp insisted a line had already been drawn under the incident after a frustrating draw that further dented Liverpool's Premier League title hopes.

Asked on TNT Sports if he would share the cause of the disagreement, Klopp said: 'No. But we spoke already in the dressing room and for me, that's done.'

Anfield legend Carragher, writing on X, gave his assessment of what happened.

'Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp are both LFC legends. We don't need to take sides!

'Salah is frustrated and angry with Jurgen that he's not playing and at that moment didn't want to fully embrace the boss, Jurgen understandably took exception.

'Mo was daft with his comment in the moved [mixed] zone but let's let them sort it out and enjoy the last few weeks together.

'They've been a massive help to each other in all that's been achieved at the club!'

Salah already looked annoyed during the pre-match warm-ups having been named among the substitutes and his temper boiled over when Klopp finally called on him.

Whatever Klopp said to Salah as he prepared to enter the action sparked an uncharacteristic response from Liverpool's top goalscorer this season.
