Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp were seen arguing in a recent match, with tension running high as their Liverpool side conceded a late goal to West Ham United. The 2-2 draw all but ruled Liverpool out of contention for the Premier League title due to lax defending, which has been a recurring issue for the team this season.
The game saw a rejuvenated Liverpool side turn things around in the second half, only to be disappointed by the late goal. This pattern of falling behind in matches has highlighted the team’s defensive frailties that need to be addressed by their next manager, likely to be Arne Slot.
Salah’s future at Liverpool is uncertain following his recent exclusion from the starting XI and a reported rift with Klopp. Meanwhile, right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has come under criticism for defensive errors in recent matches, further highlighting Liverpool’s defensive struggles.
Additionally, a VAR controversy in the match has highlighted the need for improvement in the system, with plans for semi-automated technology in the Premier League next season aiming to eliminate long waits for offside checks.
