FA release contents of ‘lengthy letter’ Liverpool sent about Mohamed Salah treatment

Liverpool have written to the Football Association to demand answers over Mohamed Salah’s treatment by referees over the course of the season.

At the centre of a contentious decision that went unpunished during Liverpool’s 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur last month, Salah was pulled back by defender Ben Davies but saw Paul Tierney take no action against the Welshman. Spurs then went up the other end of the pitch and scored, leaving Jurgen Klopp bemused on the touchline.

Liverpool would issue an instant response to Richarlison’s goal, resulting in an emotional goal celebration and controversial post-match comments from Klopp regarding Tierney’s officiating. Learning his punishment for his actions yesterday afternoon, the Reds’ boss was fined £75,000 and handed a two-match touchline ban by the FA for his remarks.

Pep Guardiola is impressed by Jurgen Klopp’s new Liverpool tactic

Pep Guardiola has praised Jurgen Klopp for his tactical switch involving Trent Alexander-Arnold, which has contributed to Liverpool securing seven successive Premier League victories.

Klopp first trialled Alexander-Arnold occupying midfield positions during the Reds’ 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Easter Sunday, a system he has since stuck by. The inverted full-back role sees the No.66 move into advanced positions when on the attack, covered by the right-sided defender when venturing forwards.

This change in approach has brought the best out of both the West Derby-born defender and his team-mates, who have since achieved wins against Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, Brentford and Leicester City.
