Lucky 2nd half Liverpool scored else fans will be asking Klopp, why was Salah taking the penalty.

Salah is one selfish glory seeker...... evident from the numerous chances that he squandered in the past games when other teammates were in better scoring positions. Milner is the team's designated penalty taker...... self glorifier Salah potong jalan him.

I am sure it was not his decision to take spot kick! Headless chicken sometime take also but most of the time shooting birds!

It was a really boring game . How Liverpool struggled without Coutinho and Mane . Congrats to Sturridge on reaching your 100 goal . Hope you continue to score more goals for Liverpool . Finally a clean sheet when someone is not playing . Huddersfield really parked a double decker bus against Liverpool and I think the whole game they managed only 1 shot at Liverpool goal . I strongly believe that Milner should continue with the penalty duties provided he is playing . A well deserved 3 points . Now on for the next game.

Salah's finishing is very poor despite this good ball control skills. Either his shooting is too weak or he kicks straight @ the goalie. Quite obvious why Chelsea decided not to keep him!

What Liverpool lacks is an all out striker . Sadly the current front 3 is not . That is why they miss so many chances . If only Suarez was still around . Only MC King and Solanke are strikers .

Mohamed Salah may already have lost his new job as Liverpool penalty taker

Jurgen Klopp says he's not sure Egyptian will continue after Anfield miss

Andy Kelly

Mohamed Salah’s stint as penalty taker could last just one game after Jurgen Klopp spoke of the different pressures of playing for Liverpool after the Egyptian missed a spot-kick against Huddersfield at Anfield.

Ultimately Salah’s first half miss from the spot - Jonas Lossl easily saving an effort that was much too central - did not prove too costly after second half goals from Daniel Sturridge, Roberto Firmino and Gini Wijnaldum secured a much-needed three points.


Salah became Liverpool’s third penalty taker of the last six months, winning the role after standing up to huge pressure to fire Egypt to World Cup qualification three weeks ago after 95 minutes of their match against Congo.

That convinced Klopp he had the mentality for the job, after Roberto Firmino missed against Sevilla and with last year’s go-to man James Milner often missing out on the starting line-up.

Both Milner and Firmino were on the pitch yesterday - the Brazilian indeed winning the spot-kick after Tommy Smith grabbed his shirt - but it was still Salah who was handed the responsibility to put Liverpool in front.

Klopp was able to joke about the situation given the final result but a change could still be in the offing with the Reds manager even suggesting Daniel Sturridge could have been an option to step up.

“I thought it made sense after the Egypt penalty - obviously the pressure is bigger in Liverpool than in Egypt to qualify for the World Cup!” he joked.

Asked if Salah is now the penalty taker, Klopp added: “I’m not sure that he is anymore… I think Daniel would have been a safe number in this group of players.”

Salah’s first half miss was just part of an insipid opening 45 minutes which left the Reds leaving the pitch to a small smattering of boos at half-time but Klopp played down any criticism from the stands.

“I would not make a big deal out of it (the booing). I have heard bigger atmospheres in my life when you know ‘something is wrong here’. It was not nice to watch (the first half), it was just work. When you go to watch football you do not only want to see work – that’s how it is.”

Klopp felt his players were too cautious in their approach in the first half, wanting to avoid counter attacks by not committing enough players forward, something he put down to the chastening defeat at Spurs last weekend.

“It was clear after the really harsh criticism after the last game that you can’t go like this (clicks fingers) and say, ‘it was not that bad’. It was bad! Games like this always have influence. It was very important that we reacted.

“We had Dejan (Lovren) out one second before the game, Phil (Coutinho) was not there and we missed a penalty in the first half. Oooof! The atmosphere was obviously not too optimistic at half time so to come out and do what we did, it was really nice.

“I have no clue what you wrote last week but I’m not silly so I can imagine. I know that the players read. So the pressure was there. Dealing with a pressure like this, it helped us a lot.

“Now, Maribor – next West Ham. At this moment it feels good: clean sheet, scored three, reacting to a missed penalty. I’m officially happy today.”
