Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah won't hear criticism of Roberto Firmino.

When asked in an interview with beIN SPORTS which of Diogo Jota or Firmino Jurgen Klopp should start against Manchester City on Sunday, Salah refused to give a conclusive answer - but was full of praise for Firmino.

"I cannot decide on this matter; it is the coach's decision," he said.

"But I cannot forget what Firmino gave to the team. You cannot say he should sit on the bench because he scored fewer goals than before.

"He gave the club everything he had in the past years. He creates many opportunities for us. Our playing tactic reduces his chances to score.

"We have played together for the past four years, and it is natural not to score in every match.

"What matters is what the team achieves as a whole, and I believe that we help the team a lot."
