Former footballer Shearer says Klopp deliberately provoked Salah before a disagreement during a match against West Ham.

Alan Shearer sat down to discuss the recent spat between Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah and manager Jurgen Klopp. The incident occurred during Liverpool's match against West Ham, which ended in a disappointing 2-2 draw for the Reds. Shearer, a Premier League legend and former England striker, believes that Klopp may have said something to "rile up" Salah before the heated exchange on the touchline.

Liverpool had high hopes for the match, but once again, they were unable to secure a win. The hosts, West Ham, took the lead just before half-time with a goal from Jarrod Bowen. However, Liverpool managed to turn things around in the second half with goals from Andy Robertson and an own goal from West Ham's Alphonse Areola. But in the 77th minute, West Ham's Michail Antonio scored a fantastic header, earning his team a point and dealing a blow to Liverpool's title hopes.

Currently, Liverpool sits one point behind Manchester City, who have two games in hand, and two points behind leaders Arsenal, who have one game in hand. The Reds are undoubtedly feeling the pressure to perform and secure as many points as possible in their remaining games.

The match against West Ham was also marred by a tense moment between Klopp and Salah on the sidelines. Salah, who was benched for the game due to a recent dip in form, seemed to be unhappy with Klopp as they argued before he was subbed on. After the match, Salah refused to give an interview and stated, "If I speak today, there will be fire."

Shearer believes that Salah's frustration may have stemmed from being dropped for the game. He also acknowledged that while Salah may not have been at his best in recent games, he has been a crucial player for Liverpool over the years. Shearer also added that it was unfortunate to see the situation end in such a way.

Klopp, on the other hand, has stated that the matter has been resolved after speaking with Salah in the dressing room. He also clarified that Salah seemed to be okay with the situation. Liverpool now has three games left in the season, and the next one is against Tottenham next weekend. It remains to be seen how the team will perform in their remaining matches.
