Klopp discusses Salah's lack of game action, saying that "nobody in the world" can handle the situation in Haaland.

"I think with Mo it's like with us [the team]; I hope - I don't know - I hope we are close to exploding, let me say it like this," Jurgen Klopp has told the media.

"Is it his [Salah's] season so far? No - like for all of us. We can pick them all out and say... is it his season? No. Is it his season? No. Whose season was it yet from our side? Nobody, because we are used to a specific picture we have in our mind - 'ah, that's him'.

"We have to make sure that the team performs on the level that everybody can be the best version of themselves again, so that's the idea behind the whole thing.

"But with Mo it's like this - even when the goalscoring numbers are not that crazy, how often he's involved. The passes for Darwin [Nunez] now in the last game. Just the problem is if we don't score around that, nobody appreciates it.

"His passing is not bad actually. Then you have not scoring, losing here a ball but yeah, three, four key passes [were] exceptional. But I understand. Nobody in the world can cope with the [Erling] Haaland situation in the moment, it's crazy what he's doing...

"From my point of view Mo defended, for example, against Rangers at an incredibly high level. My situation of the game was when Mo defended the half-spaces and won the ball from behind, when he came from the blindside [of the opponent] and won the ball there. That was my situation of the game," the German also said.

Mo Salah is far from being the standout goalscorer this season. The Egyptian has scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists in 11 games across all competitions this term.

At the same time, Mo remains heavily involved in the team's attacking play as he often provides key passes.
