Jurgen Klopp made a number of interesting changes for Liverpool’s game against West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds were looking for a big response after being humbled against Everton in their last match on Wednesday.
There were several players who were noticeably poor at Goodison Park.
But watching the warm-up at the London Stadium, pundit Jan Aage Fjortoft claimed that the Egyptian himself did not look best pleased.

It’s hard to put your finger on exactly what has gone wrong for Salah over recent times.
The overarching feeling is that the 31-year-old just never recovered fully from his injury.
Not used to missing games, Salah simply hasn’t been able to get back into the rhythm we’re so used to seeing him in.

Nevertheless, he does remain Liverpool’s best source of goals.
With the Reds struggling to find the net of late, that still makes it a big call from Klopp leaving him out.
And taking to X in the build-up to the game, Fjortoft shared a video he’d taken from pitch-side as the Liverpool substitutes warmed up.
“Salah on the bench….not happy….shouldn’t be,” said the caption.
We can’t say that Mo looked best pleased at the start of the clip, but he does crack a smile and a laugh a little later on.
Liverpool’s game against West Ham very much has an end of season feel to it.
Although there have been some good sights of goal though, Liverpool are yet to score.
There just looks to be a complete lack of confidence in front of goal no matter who is playing right now.
Harvey Elliott has come in for Salah and has probably had Liverpool’s best chance so far.
