Jurgen Klopp admits he withdrew Mohamed Salah due to performance

Jurgen Klopp withdrew Mohamed Salah in the second half against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw yesterday due to performance.

Despite this, Klopp is not worried about the out-of-form Egyptian, as he believes he will return to his best.

“But coming in a game like this, constantly in situations like he comes in, that makes a world-class player. You fail, you miss, whatever, that happens. No problem with that.

“But I want him so that he wants to be decisive, to score in these situations. You could see the first ball he missed a bit, it was not in the right position, and the next ball he passed! Why? He could have shot.

“It’s like riding a bike. It’s not that you wake up in the morning and you can’t finish, you can’t ride a bike any more. That’s how it is. You need to work for these moments when it’s clicking. That’s the period he’s in; no problem with that.”
