Warnock said that Klopp was “furious” when Salah did not track back.

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

No fans are allowed inside Anfield because of the pandemic. Therefore, the media personalities that cover the matches can hear everything that Klopp yells at his players.

Liverpool defeated Southampton 2-0 last weekend, so Salah’s lack of pressing did not harm Klopp’s side.

Salah actually played reasonably against the Saints. The Egyptian international registered an assist and finished the match with a WhoScored player rating of 7.06, which backs up the aforementioned argument.

Salah has been exceptional for Liverpool this season. The 28-year-old has scored 29 goals and registered five assists in 47 appearances.

In terms of this season, the Egyptian international is scoring a goal every 132 minutes, which highlights that he is finding the back of the net on a consistent basis.
