Coach Jürgen Klopp was on Saturday "not in the mood" to talk about the fight for the title of champion of England, after Liverpool's draw at West Ham (2-2) which seems to have ended the hopes of the "Reds".

“I'm not in the mood to talk about this, frankly, or even watch this. We had to win here, we knew it, and we didn't do it", he declared on TNT Sports.< /p>

Liverpool are third with 75 points, behind Arsenal (1st, 77 pts) and Manchester City (2nd, 76 pts) who respectively have one and two more matches to play &amp ;quot;I don't think about that, really. I said before the match that we had to win our matches, we didn’t do that. That doesn’t help our situation. Are they going to lose two or three matches?? I don't think so, no", he then added at a press conference at about its competitors. "We have 75 points, so 84 possible (if Liverpool win their last three matches of the season, editor's note). This is a good goal to set for yourself. That will be my attitude, my state of mind, and we will see", he added to journalists.

Altercation with Salah on the sidelines

Klopp made five changes from the team that started on Wednesday at Everton (2-0 defeat). Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Ibrahima Konaté, among others, started on the bench. "It’was our fourth match in ten days, no coach can put the same team together. I tried to do what seemed best to me and the guys who came into the team were really good", he commented in front of the press.

Salah appeared annoyed and angry towards Klopp before coming on in the second half, an unusual image widely shared on social media, but the coach refused to explain the origin of the quarrel. "We talked about it in the locker room, for me it’s settled. That’s all, he cut it short.

However, in the mixed zone, the Egyptian attacker reportedly declared, "If I speak, it will catch fire". Enough to promise a fiery end to the season on the banks of the Mersey.
