Brief Spat on Touchline

The incident involved Salah, who was brought on as a substitute but appeared to have a brief exchange with Klopp on the touchline.

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp cut a sullen figure as he refused to reveal what had been discussed but claimed the matter had been addressed.

Carragher's Viewpoint

Carragher suggested on social media that such a disagreement might arise if a player wasn't fully prepared to enter the game quickly.

The former Liverpool defender gave his opinion as to why Klopp was 'unhappy' and explained that Salah might not have been ready to be brought on.

Taking to X, Carragher said, "The only reason a manager would be unhappy in this situation, is the player took too long to be ready to come on."

Despite, Carragher's claim, the Liverpool forward was fully dressed in the appropriate kit and had his boots on ready to enter the fray.

Disappointment hung heavy at full-time for Liverpool players and fans alike. Their Premier League title hopes suffered another major blow after their draw with the Hammers.

The two points dropped leave them in third place in the standings, one point behind Manchester City, who have two games in hand, and two points behind leaders Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
