The former West Bromwich Albion manager was following this afternoon’s Premier League game between Brighton and Liverpool.

Late in the first half, Salah had a good chance to score for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

The Egypt international forward cut inside off the left, dribbled all the way into the six-yard area, and took a shot from close range, but it was straight at Robert Sanchez.

Pulis believes that Salah should have passed the ball to fellow Liverpool forward Mane, who was in a better position to scored.

Even Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp seems to think so.

Tony Pulis critical of Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah

The BBC Sport pundit said: “Mo Salah’s done brilliantly to get into that position, but he should pull it across goal for Sadio Mane to tap in.”

In our view, Salah made the wrong decision. We think that the Liverpool star should have passed the ball to Mane.

After all, the Senegal international forward was ready for a tap-in.

However, we all know by now that Salah is a player who is always hungry for goals.

And it is not a bad thing.

After all, you do not the number of goals that Salah gets if he always pass the ball.
