sport news Mohamed Salah looks like a player who 'maybe feels like he made the wrong call ... trends now
Mail Sport's Ian Ladyman has suggested that Mohamed Salah might regret his decision not to leave Liverpool last summer in the latest episode of the It's All Kicking Off! podcast.
Salah's form has somewhat dried up towards the end of the season after a brilliant campaign that had looked set to fire Liverpool towards an unlikely quadruple in Jurgen Klopp's final season.
However, the Reds are now out of the FA Cup and Europa League, while their Premier League bid seems to have come to an end three games early after another draw away at West Ham on Saturday.
Salah was dropped to the bench for the game, and when he was being introduced in the second half tempers appeared to flare as Klopp and the Egyptian forward had a furious spat on the touchline.
Salah then perhaps stoked the flames with his post-match comments, telling reporters: 'If I speak there will be fire!'

On Monday's episode of It's All Kicking Off! Ladyman and Chris Sutton discussed the issue, and the former claimed he had 'sympathy' for Klopp after Salah's 'totally unnecessary' comments, as well as indicating there might be some regret from the player at not pursuing a move away last year.
'I wonder a little bit if Salah may just be feeling the frustration of somebody who feels he made a bad call last summer. If you remember when we started doing this podcast way back in August towards the end of the transfer window, there was an awful lot of talk about Salah going to Saudi Arabia, wasn't there?
'Right until the deadline, there was a panic on at Anfield about Salah going. He didn't go. And I wonder now whether he thinks "Blimey. I stayed, I showed a bit of loyalty, and all I've got to show for it is a Carabao Cup medal and a season in the Premier League that's fallen off a cliff".
'I'm not saying that's right, but I wonder if that's in his mind a little bit, which is why we're seeing a Mo Salah that we don't recognise on the field.
'Salah looks to me at the moment like a bloke who maybe feels like he made the wrong call last summer.'
