Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher has attempted to defend Jurgen Klopp after his bust-up with Mohamed Salah.

Dropped to the bench for today's 2-2 draw at West Ham, Salah exchanged angry words with Klopp as he was substituted on late in the game.

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

However, despite Carragher's claim, Salah was fully in kit and had his boots on ready to enter the fray when Klopp called him up.
