Salah Loses His Cool as Gakpo Steals the Show at Liverpool

Overview

Gary Neville, the Manchester United legend, says Mohamed Salah lost his temper in front of the media after watching Cody Gakpo start ahead of him week after week for Liverpool.

Context

Neville told PFSN that the Egyptian felt belittled by Klopp's decision to keep relying on Gakpo, despite Salah's status at the club.

Neville's Take

In the Stick to Football podcast, Neville said, "Mohamed Salah won't sit and watch Gakpo play."

With all due respect to Gakpo, players of their caliber don't simply concede to others' superiority. They act.

Statistics

Salah has not started in the last five Liverpool matches, with five goals in 20 appearances this season and four assists in 1,588 minutes.

Gakpo has started 18 of 21 matches this season, scoring five goals and assisting four before an injury sidelined him.

Outlook

The Dutchman, 26, remains a key figure for the team when fit, and his form could influence Salah's involvement and Liverpool's rotation.

Note: The dynamic between the two attackers adds drama to a season already buzzing with the Premier League's intensity.

Punchline 1: If Salah's mood had a GPS, it would still recalculate to “calm down and keep scoring.”

Punchline 2: Gakpo starts, Salah sulks—football’s version of an update note: “new player on the block, same old press conference.”
