SALAH HAS EARNED RIGHT TO BE SELFISH

ONE of the problems with social media and radio phone-ins is you can never be sure if someone is telling the truth when announcing which club he or she supports.

"On the line, we have Mike, who is an Arsenal fan and thinks Mikel Arteta should be sacked.”

The chances are it is probably Bill, a Spurs supporter who has had a pint.

“On the line we have Sheila, West Ham through and through, who reckons her club has the best owners in the Premier League.”

That could well be Karen, a Millwall follower who is bored.

And so to the airwaves and social media channels on Wednesday night after Mohamed Salah had chosen not to try to assist Florian Wirtz.

“He's selfish, always has been - Arne Slot should keep him on the bench.”

Let's give them the generous benefit of the doubt and accept these characters as genuine Liverpool supporters.
