Jürgen Klopp will not get the send-off he so richly deserves, while a season that promised so much for the players too will now end with only a Carabao Cup.

In time, perspective will kick in.

That boiled over with Klopp and Mohamed Salah, as they argued on the sidelines against West Ham.

Strangely, the disagreement happened while Liverpool was leading, although West Ham equalized before Salah even had a chance to get on the pitch.

As Klopp prepared to send him on, words were exchanged, and Darwin Núñez eventually had to step in to try and keep them apart.

Various theories have been espoused.

Jamie Carragher pointed out that a manager would only usually be annoyed in these circumstances if a player took too long getting ready.

But in footage posted to X, an angle from the stands shows more of the exchange between Salah and Klopp, and appears to shed some light on what set things off.

The manager then exchanges words with his other substitutes before the spat with Salah carries on.

It's hardly conclusive, but the likeliest story is that Salah was upset with Klopp for not starting him, and then taking so long to put him on.

Liverpool may not have anything more to play for, but Salah and Klopp parting on anything other than the best of terms after they defined an era together would be all wrong.
