    Salah decline defo down to Trent and Robertson, can’t believe he decided to change both fullbacks when they were both so integral to the team, both defense and attack

        Nope. Pick my team myself unlike the sheep, and he stayed in, because run after Liverpool is half decent and he has missed multiple pens. People selling him lack patience, or just had too many issues btw. 150k here
