'Salah has no right to be angry at being benched'

It is quite a sad ending to a beautiful story.

The best player of Jurgen Klopp's era fighting with his manager on the sideline as any hope of a farewell title faded away.

Mo Salah should know better. This is a footballer who covers his mouth with his hand whenever he speaks to anyone after the game, acutely aware that the cameras are always on him. But he simply didn't care when first rejecting his manager's act of encouragement and then berating him before he was subbed on in the 2-2 draw with West Ham.

Klopp tried to diffuse the situation after the game, telling the media that the matter was dealt with in the dressing room. Salah did not.

"If I speak today, there will be fire," he said, which only added to speculation and fanned the flames he was supposedly putting out.

Salah has no right to be angry at being benched. He has been in horrendous form and has looked a shadow of himself since the beginning of March.

Obviously, he is a legend and one of the greatest players to ever represent the club. It would be great if both he and Klopp could put on a show of togetherness in the next fixture at home to Spurs, even if it was just for the fans.

This season has fizzled out into a likely third-place finish when it promised so much. So we now need to at least celebrate Klopp's tenure without rubbish like this getting in the way.
