Neither Jürgen Klopp nor Mohamed Salah were happy on the Liverpool touchline against West Ham.

But while that might have sounded inflammatory (a confused journalist asked 'fire?' just to make sure that's what had been said), the tone did seem more conciliatory, with player and manager alike both essentially declining to speak about the incident.

Michael Owen explains Mohamed Salah theory after Jurgen Klopp Liverpool argument	I have forgiven Jamie Carragher after personal apology from Liverpool legend	Jurgen Klopp: “When you win one time with Liverpool, it is as worth as winning five times with another club.”

That's left fans guessing what exactly might have gone on between Salah and Klopp.

He suggested there would only be one thing that made a manager unhappy in such a context.

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

In doing so, he placed the blame at Salah's door.

Of course, with Salah and Klopp both tight-lipped, this remains guesswork from Carragher.

Though morbidly fascinating, arguments like these are part and parcel of high-pressure environments such as the dying embers of a Premier League title race, and both Salah and Klopp can certainly be forgiven any ill-judged actions.

Liverpool.com says: You would have assumed Salah would be itching to come on, having been left on the bench for such an uncharacteristically long stretch.

Only he and Klopp (and perhaps fellow subs Darwin Núñez and Joe Gomez) know the real truth.

But having made 737 appearances for Liverpool, Carragher certainly knows a thing or two about the realities of the game.
