Crooks To Salah: Diving Will Ruin Your Reputation

Garth Crooks, former Tottenham striker has advised Mohamed Salah against diving, as he could ruin his reputation.

The Egypt international was believed to have dived in the 4-3 win over Crystal Palace, after an incident with Sakho in the box.

Salah enjoyed a stellar season in 2017-18, going on to claim many honours and Crooks believes he can damage that if he starts diving.

“It’s pathetic. By the way, why doesn’t Klopp say ‘just play the game?’” Crooks said while watching the game for BBC Sport’s Final Score.

“People are going to tackle you in the box but don’t try and kid everybody because what you’re doing is just messing with your credibility. He’s messing with his reputation.

“Very soon, not just the professionals are going to say it’s cheating but the supporters too.”
