Yeah. I’m not sure we need to make too much of this Salah being selfish thing. All strikers want to score so need a bit of selfishness about them. Mane wasn't just angry at this as a one off incident. It is happening alot.Salah is more for his self than the team.its ok because the team does benefit from his goals but it also costs us goals,as it did yesterday Well maybe Salah should be angry at Mane too then as the stats that Van posted suggest he’s the greedy one? One assist to Salah’s 13!? This is just another one of those occasions that people are looking for something that isn’t there. It’s like nothing is wrong so we and the media especially have to make something wrong. You’ll go along with it because you don’t want Salah but there’s nothing in this at all. As you said you didn't watch, check the reaction from Mane, I don't think nothing is wrong.

Good solid professional win, we have relied on last minute winners from Klavan in the past against the likes of Burnley, we had this game pretty much won at half time.
I don't mind Mane's reaction, strikers want to score goals and if they are in better positions they expect to get the ball, I'd prefer he did it after the game, doing it on the pitch just feeds the media and internet with stories, which isn't needed and becomes something they just feed on, no doubt we will get Mane unsettled stories now!!
I'm surprised Klopp didn't rotate earlier, with the game pretty much won, the likes of Shaq could have come on at half time to give Salah/Firmino a rest and get Shaq upto speed, with the CL & league cup starting soon, we will be starting rotating, so the more we can bring them upto speed the better .

As they are all going for the internationals rotating wouldn't have helped our next game anyway. That said, I think Salah should have been substituted instead of Mane to make a point

I’ve seen these things called highlights so have seen the incident in question so can form an opinion if that’s ok?

Stats stats stats.what stat will Salah not passing when he blatantly should show up on?whether you like it or not Salah will take the wrong option again and again for a chance to score rather than doing the right thing.and its obviously starting to rub players up the wrong way.its not a massive problem but it's there never the less

Well last season we were pointing at our attack not being as potent as the season before and yet 2 of them co-shared the Golden Boot. This season all 3 have started off with a bang!
It's healthy to have competition to score the goals however it's not to have a public spat about it. Klopp must nip this in the bud pronto. I don't think I've seen Mane and Salah bond that much...do they dislike each other? Anyways we don't need the rag reporters salivating at the chance to go gung-ho for the next month in their papers about a rift. I suggest a gut wrenching FSG PR stunt is needed to fan the flames. Klopp also needs to get both players into a meeting to read them the riot act, that acting out their hostility in public is unacceptable and could damage our season before it's really started.

I didn’t and thank you. If anything I think Mane was more out of order for his reaction.
We were 3 up, game already won, he’d scored, there was a defender near him who could’ve got a tackle in too or intercepted the pass. Not sure why it’s not Mane being thought of for his reaction as selfish?
As Van pointed out earlier, Salah had loads more assists than Mane last term yet this is being conveniently overlooked for people to say Salah is selfish??

The facts. Ignore them if you want but adds zero weight to your argument. Salah takes the wrong decision yet scores bucket loads and has assisted plenty? Terrible of him.
