Stevie, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why try to downplay what happened between Kloop and Salah? If it was ETH and his player, you would say worse and nasty things and say ETH has no control over his players.
I think the problem is waiting too long to sub. Whether it was Salah or Jotta or anybody else. We needed to sub earlier to reduce the pressure on the defense.
Klopp is a very experienced coach, he knows exactly the physical & mental state of Salah at this moment. You can't know better than Klopp...
There was another video with Klopp and Salah before this interaction and before West Ham scored. Salah took too long to get ready and Klopp was asking him presumably if he was good to go or what. Then West Ham scored, and Klopp went over to Salah and things kicked off. I would bet Klopp told him what he thought about delaying substitution. And I don't blame him.
@Dunkin207 Ok, so they can appoint him new coach after Klopp leaves..🤷🏾♀️‼️
Exaxtly, klopp pisses me off with no half time subs and only sub at 70+ min. Its so predictable!!!
Klopp has lost the dressing room it's quite evident
Nah juts mo salah just lost his mind after missing too many chances continuously! He should be sold
You are trying to say a coach playing the same players who are missing chances and costing him for his farewell has lost dressing room, may you be brief how is that possible??
@@jukes9867 missing chances is acceptable because that can happen to anyone but if the entire team isn't showing desire and passion to win a game especially when you are in the mix for tittle is beyond belief to me. btw its not just the missed chances even the defense has been horrendous, to me, it seems the players don't even care whatever instructions klopp is giving them because in their mind he is not going to be there for the next season. In hindsight I believe klopp shouldn't have announced his departure mid season.
I agree, Klopp has lost the dressing room! I also wonder if that’s a major reason why Klopp is moving on?
@@jukes9867 because they lack depth
Liverpool are out of the chat at this point
That’s the way it goes, no shouting from us Liverpool fans.
Already was last game
With the high intensity Liverpool plays from the beginning of the season it is impossible to maintain such high intensity at the end of the season. Manchester city and arsenal are more position base teams with one touch movement with less physical engagement.
Mate we haven't played with consistent high intensity for years, it's just an inaccurate trope that gets perpetuated without any actual critical consideration. These days we look no more intense than any other team.
Spot on. Factor in the training. Tactics. Competing in 4 competitions. Players playing for their countries. Same thing has happened before. They get burned out. When fresh the way the team plays reduces the opponents chances of scoring. When tired it exposes the defence who are shocking . Yes VVD as well.
And also intensity equal to more injuries
@@nichobee,,,, you are more intense in pressing pricking up the ball transitioning with speak getting goals or started the process again.this system through years leave serious physical effects on the players. Just look at the injuries list this year.
@@arthurdick9553,,,,, yes, the position base system of Manchester city and arsenal with more control from the back in a one touch movement sequence doesn't demande the physical intensity of Liverpool.this explains why both have fewer injuries and look a little bit more fresh.just compare the physical intensity of the runs of Liverpools Andy Robertson with any city or arsenal player. No comparison.
I think another turning point was Alisson fumbling that easy catch. West Ham definitely got impetus from that and scored shortly afterwards.
We almost lost against west Ham the own save the embarrassment
3 wins, 2 draws, 3 defeats in 8 games for Liverpool in April 😳
Probably a lot to do with the 4.3 average starting eleven changes in 8 games in April, and the average of 5 changes per game in the last 6 games! The hubris and arrogance associated with the 6 changes for the Atalanta home game was catalyst.
😂😂😂
hilarious, their fans were singing about being top at xmas - just adds to their misery - their even banging on about spending more time in 1st than anyone else now, like that has ever mattered lol
Why is Stevie Nicol in my gran's house???
I feel salah got upset because he sub him on too late. 10 mins in the game is not enough time for not in form salah to get going. He should subbed him on as we go 2-1 ahead or 5 mins after.
It was the wrong timing, Klopp could have kept it to himself if he was worried about a leak. They would have had the same managerial options they have now in a couple of weeks anyway. Klopp doesn't look in control anymore, the decision diminished his power. He's having to do press conferences extolling the virtues of the new manager when the title is not even decided yet. There is no question the players have been distracted for a while now. Shame it had to end like this.
I suspect it wasn't Klopp's decision, that's on the owners and board.
Sadio Mane is missed more than anyone is willing to admit
Sadio was finished when he left, saudi level, that's why he was booted out of bayern.
Of course, the guy was deadly and his link-up play with Salah was phenomenal. Diaz misses sitters given by Salah, like the one vs City and Nunez couldn't finish if his life depended on it.
Went boxing in Germany then rotting in Saudi . Stop with this Senegalese bs.
Firmino brought the attack together he is the biggest difference
Sadio who?
How many times have you seen Robertson just sitting 4-5 yards off the guy that's going to cross the ball and letting it come in instead of going to the man and trying to get the ball? Van Dijk does the same at times. Just way too passive and been indicative of him and the Liverpool defence over the past couple of years.
VVD is always yelling at others when they concede. Every single time. I don’t understand that about him.
They started the year looking awesome and were loved. They ended the year with everyone in shock!
Almost having some people heart beating irregular wondering what's the sudden turn from been a successful campaign to a dormant and deceptive end
Salah is very disrespectful. If not for Jurgen, Salah would have not had his break in PL. His performance speaks for why he was not on the pitch. There is nothing there that he can contribute anymore. Time to sell and get rid of him and Nunez. Honestly we should have sold him last season for 100M and cashed in.
Sell him and you will cry on social media that you miss him😂😂😂😂
@@nkosanamakhubela2586 no club is dependent on one player. It's ok to cry and adopt without him then having him now. His form is not there, so sell.
@Dunkin207 correct. Keep him warm at bench
@Dunkin207 I know he did not buy, but this player flourished because of Klopps playing style. Let's see how many goals he scores when he leaves Liverpool.
@Dunkin207 I understand the owners are cheap. They wasted Jurgens tenure for their own selfishness. You got to agree that the players are also to be blamed in this final sprint. Salah and Nunez did not perform. So why not sit at bench. Nothing wrong.
Sadio Mane was the Liverpool engin,he attack , track back ,play in the midfielder etc..............
Fall started after he left
He was the difference maker
@Dunkin207😂
So Salah hasn't transitioned more as a playmaker since Nunez arrived ? Lol.
@Dunkin207
Face it Mane drove that team salah too selfish mane all over that pitch defending attacking breakup play running between the lines no 6 at times go watch those matches again you will see what im talking bout Salah had freedom to score
20 plus goal every year Mane laid it on a plate for him mane by far the better player
I really like Mo, but I also really liked Kevin Keegan. It was a shock when he left, but it led to the arrival of Sir King Kenny of the North.
I'm hoping Messi will give the Reds one season, just one season, Leo, of your Argentina magic to win the Quad, which has been denied to the Reds twice now by bad luck injuries & dodgy ref calls, etc.
I'm actually an Albion season ticket fan, but there is something magical about the Reds, a bit like Beatles songs.
This means more fc 😅😅
There are 3 games left and we can't honestly say who the best starting 11 is, that is our problem in a nutshell. Aside from Mac Allister and Van Dijk, no one is completely nailed on as must start for me, and Van Dijk has simply been the best of poor defense this season so also not good enough
Still want an explanation of how a live ball could suddenly be ruled dead by one of the "top two" EPL refs.
So every game Liverpool fans want to talk about refs? 🙄
@@drep9028Arsenal fan here, they have a legitimate complaint for sure. My goodness that was bad.
@@drep9028 I'm actually an Arsenal supporter but Liverpool is my second team for no other reason than being a ManU hater. I'll call out any bad refereeing I see.
@@drep9028 Try with a proper argument, my friend.
Care to explain? I didn’t see the game, but I’m curious about what your talking about
Meltdown for Liverpool since the Atalanta matches. The front 3 aren't firing whoever is played.
Second time 2/3 of the season looking good for four trophies. Both times blew it. The style of play burns them out. Training. Tactics, All competitions. Players playing International games. When fresh the style is a form of defending the goal. When tired the defenders are exposed and they are poor as a defence. I am sorry but VVD does not manage a good defence. Send Klopp home on gardening leave and let the coach finish the season in charge.
All we can do now is focus on top 4
the Ref Anthony Taylor panicked! Anyway, Areola shld have thrown the ball out..... i.e. the Ref did badly 😱😱🤪🤪
As great a player as Mo Salah, it is so unprofessional to show that kind of attitude towards his head coach during the game in front of the camera. That sums up the fallout of Liverpool this season.
It’s also evident why Mo Salah is not worthy of captaincy in this club. He is just so arrogant.
Wrong. You are biased. For Klopp is s normal to be aggressive... for Salah no...
You are so right. Your coach is your coach, period. You can disagree and express yourself but to disrespect your coach in front of the whole world like that! That's unacceptable, doesn't matter who you are or what your bring to the team. He's a mentor to so many players and kids, is that the attitude you want to show them because you Mo Salah? Respect is respect. I would hope he apologizes because that was just despicable to say the least.
Mohamed Salah should be sold to the Saudi League this summer because he has become a burden on the team and a bad example of the rest of the young players. Jürgen Klopp helped Salah a lot and supported him in the media, but Salah has become an arrogant and ungrateful player. His level is in retreat and plays negatively on the field and does not respect his coach
I don't mind even if Klopp leaves and I hope the remaining UEFA Championship winners who are currently playing in the club must GO sooner.
It is highly recommended and a MUST for Liverpool FC management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Liverpool FC, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2027. We are referring to Adrián San Miguel del Castillo, Thiago Alcantara, Van Dijk, Matip, Salah, Becker, Endo, Robertson, Tsimikas, Diogo José Teixeira da Silva "Diogo Jota", Nathaniel Phillips, Luis Fernando Díaz Marulanda "Luis Diaz", Joseph Dave Gomez "Joe Gomez".
Our beloved club Liverpool FC should focus on acquiring and promoting rising young talents between 17 to 21 years of age. This can be found in Liverpool FC Academy, different team playing in premiere league, outside premiere league (La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga), or outside Europe (MLS, AFCON, Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Argentine Super League, and other football league from other countries). This is to save a lot of money to renovate whole Anfield, pay debts to fully comply with Financial Fair Play, and eventually have a great amount of money to sign a superstar in Liverpool FC.
Biggest mistake was Klopp announcing his departure.
Pressure mounted in Final Phase of Season and Crushed them completely.
Complete Bunch of BS!
Xavi announced his departure and they started playing great 😂
@@Triple_X_X thats why they're still in the UCL and won the last classico 😂
You can't pinned it on that, cause they won Chelsea in the Carabao cup final after Klopp announces his leaving.
@@fodaysisawo4493 i clearly mentioned that pressure mounted in final phase not when he announced.
Blatant cheat by the ref.!!!
Stopped Gakpo from scoring while the ball was in play, he then told Areola to go to ground and called the physio on.
30 years now 35 years 😂😂😂
Stevie..........Probably a lot to do with the 4.3 average starting eleven changes in 8 games in April, and the average of 5 changes per game in the last 6 games! The hubris and arrogance associated with the 6 changes for the Atalanta home game was catalyst.
If running the squad like this has been good enough to win every trophy possible then why is it suddenly a problem?
It's squad rotation that got Liverpool this far in the first place.
He rotated the squad every game during October and November and December when Liverpool won nearly every game.
It's been a poor end to the season but not because of Klopps hubris.
It's been because Salah, Diaz and Nunez havnt been able to hit the target.
Poor form from the strikers has caused this bad form.
You can blame Klopp for his strikers poor form.
But you can't blame Klopp for rotating his squad when he has been doing that for 9 years.
@@NeilLewis77 He hasn't won anything making on average 5 changes every game. Check the data.....2/3 changes maximum on average. The approach in recent weeks is not a recipe for winning a title, which needs rhythm, continuity and consistency. The fluidity and confidence has been drained from the side, plus of course, individual failings and Klopp's insistence on picking players out of form, particularly the front three, and a player out of position, TAA.
It is also inexplicable why Klopp changed the successful formula of experience and youth, which had been so successful with a win rate of 84% in Jan & Feb, including without Salah. In contrast, the return of the the experienced, established players during the last two months, including with Salah, has only returned a win rate of 50%, and the rapid decline and effective end to the pursuit of silverware. I agree though that his faith in some senior players recently has been totally misplaced, and has proved very costly in April, a wicked month.
But there is room for substantial optimism with an abundance of talented youth, and the emergence of the excellent Gravenberch today. Klopp has been superb, with some wonderful, unexpected achievements, but has probably not totally fulfilled the potential from some very promising positions. We all no doubt have wonderful memories of his amazing character, charisma and achievements, but it's time for another exciting chapter in the club's evolution.
At this rate ,champion's league might be in jeopardy
😂 Spurs are 15 points behind us!
No blame on allison but we did better with kelleher.
Very true i don't want to get rid of kelleher rather Allison
Yeah they fed off that mistake unfortunately
Until Kelleher fumbled it before Allison got back…
Both are rubbish
Always nice to see Mr Versatile.
Mark and stevie must be brothers....look at them 😂
Stevie is almost crying. Poor man
It’s just catching up with Liverpool, they’ve getting away with all season long and sadly it’s catching up with them at wrong time
Elliot shouldn't start. I know Salah hasn't been good lately but Elliott is not a starter very surprised he wasn't subbed
Both good for nothing
Doesn’t matter anymore. Salah will be gone this summer.
Its crazy how much disrespect Salah gets. He has been phenomenal every season since his arrival. He has a "bad" season and is "finished" with 24 goals and 12 assists in all competitions. He's arguably the greatest Premier League winger in history. He's done everything for Klopp and Klopp has done everything for him. These 2 have known eachother for 7 years now and fans think they're having a break-up. Salah is scoring less but he has transitioned into a playmaker. He gave phenomenal passes these past games even against City but Diaz and especially Nunez keep missing clear cut chances. Its disrespectful from Klopp to let him warm-up early in the half, only to bring him on for the last 10 minutes.
@@tomunishgulati Salah was the literal face of the Prem right before his injury ye melt
@@IscoMadrid-fd7fy He's been great. He might still be great in the future but he's 32 soon and they need to cash in on him. He probably wants to leave, anyway. Above all, he shouldn't throw a strop because he's brought on or brought off during a game.
Areola was feigning being hurt! Quite obvious.
Every year after coming back from african cup of nations, his form suffers. Don't buy players who have to go away mid season
Or hide their passports
I remember the last game against Newcastle Salah went to Afcon...Liverpool were cooking...i am certain we would be talking about Liverpool needing 6 points to wrapp up the league by now if salah hadn't gone
The complete opposite is true, Liverpool started winning games comfortably 3-1, 4-1 when he left, youngsters had infused an enthusiasm in the squad. When he returned the struggle began, because he needs 10 chances to hit the target once, and 20 chances to score one goal.
Thank you Stevie. Klopp makes changes because he has options! Loads of front line options. No excuses
Some of the Lpool players were not playing well in the past few weeks: other than Salah, there were Nunez, Szoboszlai..... so it's apt these players were not in the Starting XI
Rumor has that michael owen still thinks Liverpool is the best team in Europe. A team to beat.
EFC here... I think Salah got injured playing for Egypt. He returned back to Anfield to recover and Egyptian fans turned on him. Klopp probably wanted to rest him because of injury and that he was out of form. Salah turned on Klopp which was out of order
TAA cant defend to save his life or anyone elses for that matter. Why this has carried on without putting him in midfield has reflected much of the strange falling away. How many times have we watched opposition with throwin lobbing the ball over TAA or someone just running past him or his SLOWNESS getting caught out ..........how many goals this season have come down the left. Astonishing bizarre play. I guess the new boss will immediately stick him in mid with a proper rb.
The Salah and Klopp argument was more enjoyable than the game itself.
Early celebrating being top at xmas leading to bottling 3 competitions in the space of a month
Klopp called the Carabao Cup win this year "special" - he didn't realize the true meaning of that
Now Stevie - what did you have to say about Ten Hag and United at the end of last season - because it's more successful than Klopp's farewell
Mo Salah has 24 goals in 40 games this season in all competitions. A very good season.
Its crazy how much disrespect Salah gets. He has been phenomenal every season since his arrival. He has a "bad" season and is "finished" with 24 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.

All while being injured and still returning to pace . Also also ,imagine the amount of assists he would've had if we had a competent striker other than Nunez
And the MOST assists and CHANCES CREATED!
@@horaha4279returning to pace? Since coming back he has missed more shots then nunez, he has ZERO pace and he is doing nothing to help the mids. If you cant see that then your letting your emojions cloud your judgement
@@mohamedismail2485since coming back?
Its like if players are having a bad game instead of klopp making substitutions he gets off on making them suffer sitting on the sidelines smirking hus Turkey teeth 😁
Klopp, CANNOT sort out his defense.
Instead hes relying on his attackers to save him.
Espn are know the official liverpool fan chanel because 80% off the discussions are about liverpool.
Liverpool got 2 lucky goals...
They don't have a world class striker
Is unfortunate that the problem at the club surface at this critical moment, no fighting spirit, the players covered their eyes whenever they see the pole and just shut, let the academies finish the remaining matches bcuz the seniors have lost it
Liverpool have been shipping chances all season. A lot of them have been missed by the opposition. Its now became an issue though when it counted most. The new manager needs to improve that.
I love to see Stevie cry
its like the final days of the roman empire
Time to sell off salah, endo, sabozlai, gakpo & especially delulu Nunez. And please have some respect for your manager Salah ...smh 😳😆
Excuse me...Klopp said they dominated the first half...SO...bullcrap are the words of the day regardless of the second half...FAILED, LFC have collapsed..Salah is gone, as went other great players....HYPE, nothing but...
May best thing that Klopp should move on , I think his time is up , he's done what he was brought into to do, so enjoy your family and see you in the new season where ever u turned up
I don’t condone with what Salah did that said this was all Klopp’s doing because he was the one who allowed complacency, entitlement, and favoritism to take place in this team over the years. Not to mention his inability to reinvent himself in order to keep the team together and playing well has probably made the team uninterested and unmotivated to continue to strive for success.
Biggest mistake was for Klopp to announce he’s leaving before the season ended. There’s a reason Fergie didn’t announce his retirement until after they won the league and it ended
Bang on mate 👏
It would've leaked out anyways.
You really think when liverpool knocks on another coach his door his agent or someone close is not going to leak that info
Times were different for SAF, there is no way to keep Klopp leaving a secret.
I knew it was a wrap. He ruined his legacy. Bad timing!!!
It is just unlucky for Liverpool. The chances are there, but the ball just wouldn't go in.
Their new manager is going to be in for a tough ride
he has absolutely no experience in dealing with the ego's of EPL players
the moment one of them gets upset, watch it crumble
Remember when Ten Hag said era's come to an end and you's laughed?
bye bye
Lets hope the New Dutch manager is better than our three Dutch players !!!!!
Mane should have never left. Same for Firmino.
Who was that ESPN guy that defended that 'common sense' bs? Oh yeah it was Gabs, bring him on!
I expect bottling talks to start now or are they only for Arsenal? Liverpool was 5 point clear at one point and have most days at the top this season.
Very true
Noone expected to win the league we definitely overachieved but arsenal last major trophy 2004
Least swarthy Swarthenal fan.
Somebody is still upset about last season😂
I loov it
Salah wouldn't have behaved like this in his first season, but once you consider yourself you are something else you dare to behave like this. Klop literally made salah.
I think kloop make the problem and he disrespect Salah you don’t put star like Salah outside for 80 minutes. You don’t do that.
Salah knows that Klopp is leaving and now he is finally showing his true colours!
Chelsea will take Salah now and show him all the respect he craves😅😅😅😅
Salah poor form and lack of focus has affected the whole teams confidence. Once hes gone this squad will regain their swagger
Plus Salah earning more than half of what the others earn!
The stats when he was gone vs when he came back is shocking
Oohhh Stevie..... How's it going? 🤣🤣🤣
Football basic....attack the ball......
Liverpool were good this season. Fell a little short. I'm an arsenal fan. I'm annoyed by the rhetoric from last season. I think arsenal will too and if arsenal lose or draw they'll be called the most pathetic losers in history
SALAH RIGHT!
People really do have a short memory, don't they? The issue of Liverpool conceding the first goal began in the 2020/21 season in January. It has been an ongoing problem for Liverpool for over two seasons now, and this is squarely Klopp's fault.
Look how they try to pander Liverpool 😂😂😂 your agenda is clear stevie
I believe Slot is celebrating at these performances as it makes taking over from Klopp so easy
Agreed
Much easier then if they won the league. He just needs to get top 4 next season, quarters in the cl would be nice
Biggest mistake is fans not protest those zero net spend con artist out of our club and letting this thing fester hiding behind klopps genius for so long until he cannot hold the dead wood and cheap players anymore.
Two free headers, school boys defending...very dissapponting..
Good bye Floppy 😂 don't forget to sip the mighty energy drink cup on your way out.
SAME OLD SLOP, can't defend, cant finish games off and take chances, only DIaz played 100%, 3rd place a doubt now.
Absolutely bang on. His team has been leaking goals all season.
He's been pushing his attackers to failure, just to save him.
Klopp's management has been poor
I am drinking LiVARpool fans' tears
I dare stevie says Liverpool bottled the league
Salah has been playing top-level football for years. Klopp knows how to make him sit on the bench just because he is out of form for a few matches, but even though Nunuez and Diaz constantly miss goals, they are always on the field.
🤷♂️
soft touch Stevie yet again making excuses for another Liverpool collapse. When its Arsenal or United no one pulls any punches.
If I am Salah, I will certainly be mad on the limited minutes I have been given. He must be frustrated sitting on the bench watching his team collapse.
Salah is a disgrace. Who does he think he is?
Klopp made Salah... That's how Salah repays him??
Is he his dad?
Salah made Salah.
Salah made Klopp😂😂
tbf it was Edwards who insisted on buying Salah. I'm curious as to why Edwards left LFC and then Julian Ward followed suit after only one season in charge because I highly doubt Edwards would've bought Nunez as the price LFC paid.
As an Arsenal fan I’m happy with the result but Salah is a disgrace.That guy made him.And that’s how he paid him back?
Did you see the interaction between klopp and Liverpool?
Luis Diaz is not scoring. He has got a lot of chances during the entire season especially against Man City
Anthony Taylor is just incompetent referee
Klopp provoking mo Salah there when going on as sub...
Not nice to see a season falling apart like that...
Make no mistake, Klopp is leaving because there is another job to go to. Its being kept hush hush.
Had enough of Salah. Wouldn't mind getting Bowen to replace him
Y'all suddenly hate Salah since his unfortunate injury huh ? Y'all forgot what he did right before AFCON ? Don't you ever come at anyone again with the "YNWA" BS again ffs . Pathetic crowd
@@horaha4279 Y'all?? 😂😂😂 We hate you foreign fans much worse than Mo. And Mo better not speak to Jurgen like that again or he'll be walking alone, to the hospital.
This what Liverpool is!! Their downfall starts😂😂😂
Like I told every Liverpool fan before the season. Sell salah. No one is going to give you 100m I don't even think Saudi teams will lol
😂😂😂😂
