I'm sure it's a pipedream, but is there any hope that Salah and Robertson could change their stances on leaving if a new manager is confirmed?
Although I do think they still have the skill to contribute on the pitch under a better manager, I really think their leadership off the pitch would be crucial for whipping the team into shape before next season. Seeing those two give their all during fitness training could be the motivation that gets the whole squad back in shape fast.
I'm a little worried about the exodus of senior squad members in general. Obviously it has to happen as some point, but all at once after a terrible season with a massive rebuild because of a clueless manager who couldn't get the best out of anyone AND all for free is really concerning to me.

We have to look forward, mate.

You are not serious, are you? They have been great players, but the end is nigh.

Sounds like nostalgia is getting the better of you. I love both players and they have been terrific for the club, but now is the right time for both of them, their best days are behind them.

Snuggle, Salah's been tripe all season and Robbo was getting pelters on here all last season. Great servants, and legends of our club, but their time has come to an end.

Both legends, but the time is right to move on and replace them. That's the difficult part.
Not a very good performance today, other than two quality finishes, but a win is a win. I guess.

This is not nostalgia. Salah has been terrible one season when the whole team has been terrible, and Slot has persisted with Slot's terrible play that would never suit Salah's strengths even in his prime. I just don't believe people who claim "he's lost it" or "his legs went". He's class and can still offer great link up and goals if used as something other than a winger in a ponderous pass to death set up.
Robertson is different because, no, he's no longer a starter, but we have his replacement.
I think Robertson can be used sparingly, but can be a massive leader for us off the pitch. If he wants to go, I'll accept that.
But if they both want to go because of how this manager misused them, then that is a tragedy and not something I want to see. My concern is that it's becoming too much institutional knowledge leaving at once.

Salah's gone. It happens to the best. We can't continue to pay someone 400k a week to live off past glory. It wouldn't matter if we brought Enrique in, he's still gone.

Was Salah even that good against Fulham? Scored a classic goal but not much else of note if you're comparing him to previous seasons. He would still do really well in somewhere like Italy or USA where they get an extra few seconds of decision-making.
Liverpool legend leaving at the right time.

I think he was very good, Darwin. Apart from the goal, there was that sensational pass that sent Gakpo (I think?) through that curved behind the defense for him to run on to. He also worked decently hard, harrying defenders, and generally made the right decision every time when he was in the final third.
