Mohamed Salah urged to have a word with £37m teammate about his ‘dramatic’ antics

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been told to have a word with꧅ teammate Luis Diaz afte🌌r his performance against Everton.

BBC Spo♎rt pundit Garth Crooks the Egyptian star in his team of the 🃏week after his brace in the Merseyside Derby.

It was far from Mohamed Salah’s best performance in a Liverpool sh🦹irt on Saturday.

Salah was largely anonymous before Michael Keane gave a penalty away for handball and he co✨nvertedܫ the spot kick.

A fantastic run by Darwin Nunez in the final moments set up Salah for his ♓second goal in the dying moments and once again gave the red side of the city bragging rights.

However, one of the key moments 🗹in the game was the sending off of Ash✅ley Young.

The experienced defende♔r was booked twice in the first half with the second foul💯 sending the winger flying.

Crooks has now demanded that Salah speak to Luis Diaz about his conduct as he believed the Liverpool star overreacted.

It’s a൲ difficult line to walk between ꦑbeing dramatic and making sure the referee gives the decision you want.

Diaz was definitely fouled but only the referee knows if his reaction was the reas🌊on he decided to show a second yel𓄧low card.

Salah told to talk to Liverpool teammate Diaz

Reviewing the game as part of his team of the week꧂ column, : “Referee Craig Pawson’s inability to show some discretion in the Merseyside derby exposed him once he failed to exercise any📖 consistency.

“Neither was it helped by Luiz𒐪 Diaz 🌄who rolled over at least five times for dramatic effect after Young had fouled him.

“Meanwhile, Mo Salah is back to his brilliant, unselfi🎃sh and supportive best and has erased the sort of antics now affecting Luiz Diaz. It’s time Salah had a word with Diaz.”

Diaz has become one of Jurgen Klopp’s most trusted players and Peter Crouch even suggested at the weekend he could be worth £100m.

It’s unknown how much longer Salah will be at Liverpool considering the interest from Saudi Arabia in the summer that 🐠is likely to return in the future and Diaz could be the man tasked with replacing his goals an♌d assists.

An unfortunate injury lastౠ se🅰ason halted his adaptation to the Premier League but he’s looking better and better with every appearance.

It will be interesting to see just how many goals and assists he can record this s🍷eason if he stays injury-fre🌳e throughout the campaign.
