'I'm team Salah' - Premier League legend supports Egyptian king after row with Liverpool boss Klopp

Premier League legend Alan Shearer has come to the defence of Mohamed Salah following the Liverpool striker's heated touchline exchange with manager Jurgen Klopp during the 2-2 draw with West Ham.

Salah, who was left on the bench for the match at the London Stadium, let his frustrations boil over upon being introduced in the second half. A heated exchange with Klopp ensued, with Salah visibly expressing his discontent towards his manager.

Speaking on BBC's Match of the Day, Alan Shearer sympathised with Salah, understanding the frustrations of the Liverpool talisman. Shearer expressed support for Salah, acknowledging his contributions to Liverpool's success over the years.

The nature of Klopp's remarks to Salah remains unknown, but it evidently provoked an angry reaction from the Egyptian forward. Despite Klopp's attempt to downplay the incident, the tension between him and Salah was palpable throughout the match.

While Klopp insisted that the matter was resolved in the dressing room, Salah's demeanour suggested otherwise. Declining interviews and cryptically hinting at further controversy, Salah's dissatisfaction with the situation was evident.

Despite the off-field drama, Salah continues to lead Liverpool's attack, maintaining his status as the club's leading goal-scorer this season. However, Liverpool's title aspirations took a hit as they dropped crucial points against West Ham, further dimming their hopes of silverware this season.

As Salah's form fluctuates and tensions with Klopp persist, the future remains uncertain for the Egyptian star at Liverpool. With rumours of a potential move away from the club circulating, Salah's relationship with Klopp and his future at Anfield hang in the balance.
