          Could've scored an open net vs both City & Sunderland...
          Could've had a hat-trick in 30mins today...

          Good footballers don't tend to operate on "could've", though. When the lights shine bright he goes blind

          Next 3pm kick-off in a meaningless home game he'll score a few and everyone will forget again so it's all good

              This is the problem with some people on social media and this site. If Salah starts that game, which he clearly should’ve done along with Ekitike, Liverpool likely score 2/3 more goals. Spurs aren’t good

              Because he was benched you say “why did people do that” in hindsight once the match is over
