Former Crystal Palace chairman, Simon Jordan, has described Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah, as a player who never performs in high-profile games and wants the Egyptian forward sold.

The 31-year-old forward casted doubts over his future with the Anfield club after a heated bust-up with manager Jurgen Klopp during the Reds 2-2 draw against West Ham on Saturday, April 27.

According to TalkSPORT, Jordan, who admitted he is not a fan of Salah, claims the Liverpool forward is not as good as people rate him to be after accusing him of disappearing in big games.

“I know this will sound ridiculous to people and will make me incredibly unpopular by saying it, obviously he’s scored lots of goals, but when the going gets tough some people stand up and fight and some people don’t.
“I get this feeling that Salah can be one of those. It’s an opinion.”

Salah's record since signing from Roma in 2017 has been nothing but outstanding, with 210 goals in 346 games, putting him as Liverpool's third-highest scorer.

Chris Sutton slams Salah for outburst

Meanwhile, former Premier League striker Chris Sutton has berated Salah following his bust-up with Liverpool manager Klopp in the 2-2 draw against West Ham that saw the Reds Premier League ambition fade away.

According to the BBC, Sutton felt the incident did not reflect well on the 31-year-old, and that the Egyptian forward was out of order for arguing with Klopp on the sidelines.

Salah’s clash with Klopp has raised questions over the Egyptian’s future with the club although the Reds are adamant he will remain at Anfield next season.

Salah’s comments to Klopp exposed

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Salah’s ugly touchline spat with Klopp which caused tension between both parties has been examined by a lip reader.

John Cassidy who analysed the clip, disclosed that Salah reportedly threatened Klopp after he snapped at the Liverpool manager during their argument on the touchline.

Cassidy claimed the Egyptian had threatened to get himself sent off after the Liverpool manager appeared to have infuriated him with his comments on the sidelines.
