“We needed to play and not concede, but we did.”

“If we knew why [it was happening] we’d solve the problem. I don’t know.”

Stuart Pearce has been speaking about the incident between Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp.
He told talkSPORT: “Whether Salah is thinking about the summer [and possible move away from Liverpool] or not, I don’t know.
“But when you set your standards as ludicrously high as Salah has, there’s no doubt about it you do get frustrated with your own form.
“I’m just watching a replay of the interaction now, Jurgen has said something to Salah and he’s reacting, and the more he reacts the more and more physical he is getting.
“Nunez and Gomez have had to be peacemakers, really, and hold him back.
“This sort of thing happens because of the frustration Salah will feel about his own form, and knowing the manager is not going to be here in a couple of weeks.”
