Klopp shouldn’t have had a go at him there," one argued.Another commented: "Klopp lashing out on Salah for not passing when he had a clear sight of goal and two defenders obstructing a passing option is embarrassing."Would you say Salah is selfish? Let us know in the comments section.Other supporters suggested the drama surrounding Salah's contract renewal was the reason behind it.One wrote: "Exactly who was he supposed to pass to?? If Klopp is annoyed at this situation, he should've benched him.
