So, ahead of the Reds hosting Tottenham on Sunday, we’ve looked at seven previous clashes between players and manager and what happened next…

Sadio Mane vs Chelsea (1-1 draw at Anfield, November 25, 2017)

What happened?

Sadio Mane was brought on only as an 89th minute substitute in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea in November 2017, with the Senegalese introduced to the action in place of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain minutes after Willian’s late equaliser had cancelled out Salah’s opener.

The forward had ended a six-game scoring drought last time out, netting in the Reds’ 3-3 draw away at Sevilla, but that wasn’t enough to retain his place against Chelsea.

Mane was caught in a heated conversation with Klopp on the pitch after the final whistle, where he was visibly annoyed and gesturing animatedly while his manager tried to embrace him.

What was said?

Both Mane and Klopp would play down the altercation after the game, insisting that they had not fallen out and instead revealing it was to do with something positional during the match.

Mane said: "He asked me to play on the right side and one time I tried to ask for the ball in the number nine position.

While it proved to not be the last time Mane would clash publicly with Klopp, he provided the perfect response next time out by opening the scoring in Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Stoke City.

He would then net a brace on his next appearance in a 7-0 thrashing of Spartak Moscow, as the Reds’ newly-formed attacking triumvirate (alongside Salah and Roberto Firmino) continued to quickly go from strength to strength during their first season as team-mates.

Jordan Henderson vs Manchester United (0-0 draw at Old Trafford, February 24, 2019)

What happened?

Klopp had a misunderstanding with his captain, Jordan Henderson, during a 0-0 draw away at Old Trafford in February 2019 after his decision to substitute the Liverpool skipper.

Withdrawn in favour of Xherdan Shaqiri in the 72nd minute, the England international was visibly displeased as he walked off.

There, he threw a coat to the floor before shouting and gesturing angrily at Klopp as both James Milner and Joe Gomez tried to calm him down.

Clearly, tempers were still high upon returning to the dressing room as Firmino went viral for his awkward side-eye glance to the camera when walking between Salah and Mane.

What was said?

You might start to spot a recurring pattern here but, believe it or not, Klopp played the incident down after the final whistle.

He said: “Yes, very okay, all good.

Mane and Salah both started the Reds’ next game as they won 3-1 at home to Newcastle, with the Senegalese netting a brace before the Egyptian clinched the victory.

Inevitably, they would both play vital roles throughout the entire campaign as Klopp’s men finished the season as Premier League champions.

Mohamed Salah vs Brighton & Hove Albion (1-1 draw at Amex Stadium, November 28, 2020)

What happened?

Only just returning from a bout of Covid, Salah was replaced in the 64th minute at Brighton moments after Diogo Jota had given Liverpool the lead.

Donning an angry expression for the rest of the afternoon, a last-minute Pascal Gross equaliser from the penalty spot did not help matters

What was said?

It was a nice, straightforward response from Klopp on this occasion, as he pointed to the frustrated Salah’s recent stint on the sidelines.

"The day when Mohamed Salah is smiling when he leaves the pitch, something is really wrong,” he said.

Petulantly removing his hand tape and throwing it to the floor, Chelsea supporters jeered him, while there was no acknowledgement from Klopp as he took his place on the bench.

What was said?

Klopp would play down the incident in similar fashion to when he was asked about replacing Salah against Brighton three years prior.

“I can understand because if Mo scored it would have been a new record for goals scored in the opening game but I didn’t think about that,” he said.

“We needed stability and we needed fresh legs.
