Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp SLAMS Mohamed Salah and Luis Suarez comparisons

Salah has made a sensational start to life at Anfield having joined Liverpool from Roma in a club-record deal in July.

And his impressive performances, coupled with an outstanding goals to games ratio, has seen him compared to Suarez.

Suarez wrote his name in Liverpool folklore before leaving Merseyside for La Liga giants Barcelona just over three years ago.

Klopp has now slammed those making comparisons between the two forwards though, saying that’s not something he has to do in his position.

“I am not interested,” said Klopp

“I respect Suarez a lot. 

“He is a Liverpool legend, but he is not a Liverpool player any more. 

“I don’t have to compare players. 

“That’s a story for a newspaper. 

“I am not [even] a little bit interested.”

Klopp revealed he’s not been taken by surprise by Salah’s form at Liverpool.

“How can I be surprised about his impact?” he said.

“He played already at the highest level, but only in another country. 

“Maybe it’s a surprise to English people that he can be good in the Premier League.

“All players in the world need the other players – it was fantastic from Sadio Mane for the first goal [versus Stoke]. 

“But Mo knows that he needs to be in a good moment to take a ball like this. 

“I was very happy that he could do it like he did it. All good.”
