It really seems like two of the recent best players careers are coming to an end. Salah and kdbs time are up.
I really hope Salah doesn't get a contract extension and goes of to have some fun in USA or Saudi.

He doesn’t get rotated Walter. The lad burns out every season because nobody gives him a rest after carrying us for 7 months.

His recent run of bad form has coincided with the injury to Trent and Bradley though, can’t help but feel a connection there.
Its a team game and Salah needs good players and creativity behind him to bring the best out of him, he can’t do it all by himself all the time.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
We'll never know if we'd have won, drawn or played better had Salah been rotated. I'm not sure if someone like Chiesa or Elliott instead of Salah would have made that much difference.
When Salah isn't rested he regularly provides goals and assists. It's easy to rotate him after he doesn't score or assist. That said, I'm not convinced by Jota starting regularly but he scores the winner on Wednesday.
I don't always agree with Slot's line ups but I know we wouldn't be any higher up in the League if he listened to me ?.

Spot on, Mikey. He is really sufferrinf from not having Trent to bounce off off cos they have patterns of play that they run efficiently whether it be with Hendo, Elliott and now Szobo.
@LFC08 as for nobody giving Salah a rest, miss me with that stuff cos we all know Salah want's to play every game and we know hos he sulks when he gets subbed historically. There are players that can come in for him BUT the manager won't play them so who's fault is that?
As for him carrying us for 7 months, you must have missed the contributions of Gakpo, Diaz and even Nunez and Jota in bits that have helped us to no. 20 incomming so that is false. It's a team game and we have won games in which Salah played and did not score nor assist in. Take a day off, LFC08.

I can’t take advice off someone who watches the match via teletext Oli ? I’ve probably seen Real Madrid live at Anfield more times than you’ve seen Liverpool laa.

Nine goals in his last 10 league games, finished alright.
06 Apr 2025 20:27:38
Hahaha Mic drop from LFC8.

Geez. Poor Salah. Career year but somehow he's finished.
06 Apr 2025 21:40:42
Maybe I didn't word it properly but I firmly believe this is Salah last hurrah.
It's happened to everyone who's played the game. No way he gets numbers like this again unless in a lesser league.

One thing that helps Salah immensely is when Trent plays. A lot of the one on one situations Salah finds himself in with the wingback is because Trent releases him there from a defending position.
Without trent we progress the ball much slower basically going side to side until we reach the box, problem is that method allows the opposition to keep their shape so when Salah gets the ball he's marked by two with a third often hanging around.
There's also the fact that with no goal threat anywhere else on the pitch the defense can rest easy in leaving Diaz, Jota, Nunez because even if they get the ball they run into more blind alleys and slice shots wide than they do move forward and test the keeper. Chiesa is pretty direct and tests the keeper so I'm really surprised he doesn't get a chance more. He's played across all three forward positions for Italy and juve and even played false 9 at times for fiorentina. No reason he can't be tried elsewhere.

Give Oli some credit. He can review a match review without even seeing the game by reading other match reviews.
All without trusting social media.

To be fair Salah hasn’t had a stand-in for years and has played a lot of football year on year. He’s played knocking on for 50 games this season and anybody who thinks he’s immune to being tired is just plain wrong. He’s carried th3 goal threat (yet again) single handedly this season. Without him we just wouldn’t be where we are this season.

LiverpoolFC8, I see you din't address anything I said and resorted to petty jokes. Figures. Oh, and you want a trophy for watching RM live? Lose the petty insults and the "I got to Anfield" sctick. That does NOTHING to me and doesn't make you opinion worth any more than anyone else. I see.
