IF ANYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE SELFISH, IT'S SALAH

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

- BY ANDY DUNN

“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 Tottenham supporter who has had a pint.

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.

Of course Salah is selfish. And in other news, the Pope is taking mass on Sunday.
