LIVERPOOL superstar Mohamed Salah has been compared to Jose Mourinho over his reaction to his explosive row with Jurgen Klopp.
Salah, 31, started the trip to West Ham on the bench, much to the surprise of many, and was getting ready to come on during the 82nd minute.

At which point the 56-year-old Klopp went up to the talented winger on the touchline and whispered something in his ear.
The Egypt international became enraged and began ranting at his manager while making arm gestures in response.
In front of the cameras and a crowded London Stadium, teammates Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomez had to intervene to break up the violent argument.
During his post-match press conference, Klopp attempted to downplay the incident by stating that the matter had been resolved in the dressing room.
The Liverpool player, however, made a suggestion to the contrary as he went through the mixed zone, telling reporters that he was unable to speak since doing so would make matters worse.
“If I speak today, there will be fire,” Salah declared.
That reminded me of Mourinho’s notorious post-game interview from 2014.
After Chelsea’s defeat to Aston Villa, The Special One cut a frustrated figure during his second stint there, saying he shouldn’t show his genuine emotions for fear of consequences.
“Wonderful,” tweeted one enthusiast. Salah is all Mourinho now. Fantastic appearance, Mo.”
“Mohamed Salah giving the best impression of Jose Mourinho,” wrote another user.
A third person said, “After the argument between Salah and Klopp it’s Mourinho’s iconic speech recreated all over again lmaoooo.”
“Why not just decline and walk away quietly?” exclaimed this person.
That person said, “You are not Jose bro.”
