According to Pardew, the crime is that manager Jürgen Klopp has decided to bench Salah, despite his impressive stats and records for the team.

Salah reportedly reacted poorly to being benched, sulking around the training ground and causing tension behind the scenes.

Additionally, Pardew believes that not playing Salah on the pitch is a bad example to the other players, and that the player's public comments about the situation are also a concern.

Pardew thinks that Liverpool should discipline Salah, implying that some form of punishment is necessary to address the player's behavior.
