I'm just sad that he didn't score a pace goal against the Bitters

Me too. Salah was quick to admit that.
I watched a YouTube video and decided that Paul Konchesky looked like a player.

What? There absolutely would not have been an outcry if Klopp didn't sub him off in a million years. It was 1-0 in a derby, keep your best player on the pitch until the game is won. Our next match is West Brom, I'm sure every fan in the world would have rather seen Salah for 90 minutes today and rested on Wednesday than being brought off today. It was a poor decision by Klopp unfortunately, Solanke should have been the one going off.
The poor decision by Klopp was not taking off out best player and goalscorer Salah when we were 5 up at home vs Spartak. Instead he took off Firmino who didn't even play yesterday and Lovren.

For all the hysterics out there, there was a reason Salah was taken off against Everton, the manager wasn't just doing it to piss you off.

He needs to go have a word with himself

He took of Firmino probably because Firmino had played in the last 4,5 matches previously. he took off Lovren probably because  he[Lovren] felt he had an issue. And the early injury to Moreno messed up what he could do with the rest.

And turns out Salah felt his hamstring against Everton.

But clearly some of you know better how our players are feeling and what kind of condition are in.

Defacto is quiet an apt username as Firmino had started the last two matches not 4,5. He was rested vs Chelsea but whatever.

He started against Stoke, he started against Brighton, he started against Spartak. 3 games in a space of 10 days, no? Or that didnt happen? He played 3 consevutive matches in a short period of time. That is the point. Whether it be 4 or 5 isneithere here or there, I used numbers off the top of my head.

But youve missed the point entirely. Him being rested has fuck all to do with the matches that followed and the intensity that was put in said matches in that period of time.

Ok bit off the current track here.
I'm absolutely made up with him, like a lot, I was questioning klopp when we signed him. Don't get me wrong, I wanted us to sign him before he chose the Chelsea over us. He's been sensational.
More so because I think he's got the perfect players around him which pushes him to a whole new level. So much so that Real are now linked to him. I'm a little unsettled with this because, he's shown he has no club loyalty, he went to Chelsea over us due to him thinking that would be a more successful move... Not so much.
Goes to Rome, pulls his socks up then we come back for him, he thinks that we would be able to further his career in a better league with us, so he signs for us. There's a trend there, and who can blame him, it's Real Madrid.
This brings me on to my point, it always happens to us.
We start building a great team, around players with potential, who are either on the crasp of realising their potential or they've not progressed. We take them in, make them world beaters. Our team on the verge of great things but then they get noticed by the only other teams bigger than us and leave. Setting us back years.
Instead of wanting to win things with us, they go to a already great team who win a lot of trophies/cups.
It's happening already with Courtinho, I'm afraid Salah will be next. Maybe Mané too.
Just losing 1 of these players will set us back loads, we've built our team around Courtinho, getting a player who can do the same job is going to be heard. Finding another Salah, again is going to be hard.
I just hope Salah realises that he's in the best team for him and not look at the bright lights of the Spanish teams like Courtinho, Luis, Xabi, Mascherano, even Owen and McManaman. Add Torres to that list.
If we kept hold of these players in the past, we would be better than we are now.
I'm afraid time is going to repeat it's self over and over again with Salah next.
Sorry to piss on everyone's Salahfest, it's just so frustrating knowing if these players stuck around they would not only make us great again, but they would become legends

I know, but next the season after just as we're a couple of players away from challenging not only at home but in Europe. Instead we have to find replacements, bed them in to the team which again takes a few seasons. By that time our next top players is on the vergers of leaving. That's my point. It shouldn't be like this. We are Liverpool FC! Best club in the world

It's part of the danger of adding one 1st team player during the summer transfer window, that 1 player could be sensational but he's unlikely to be enough to propel us to trophies. So when the window rolls round again and we've won nothing yet again, our best players are more than happy to listen to offers from teams that regularly win things. We should've added 2 more top players to our starting 11 last summer, enough to give us a real chance of challenging. It was a massive missed opportunity in my opinion, yet again.

Salah reminds me of George Best. Don't get me wrong he's not as good as George and he is much more direct than Best was but when Best was direct, which he often was, Salah is exactly like him.

He's one of the best players in the world. He doesn't make mistakes. Whether it be a pass, a decision, a certain run in behind. Nothing is wasted with him, the only other player in the league who's like that in terms of doing 'everything right' is KDB for me.
