Mo Salah looked rather baffled when the fourth official’s board came out calling his number at the hour mark.
Liverpool had just conceded an unfortunate goal, with the ball striking Conor Bradley’s boot and diverting past Caoimhin Kelleher, despite having dominated proceedings at Anfield.
It’s a great opportunity to rest the Egyptian and a well-calculated risk if it pays off and the hosts secure all the points.
Or incredibly foolish should we drop points to one of the worst sides in the 2023/24 Premier League campaign.

Resting Mo and bringing on Robertson and Elliot was a great call. The doubters need to trust the Manager.
Spot on by Klopp.
