But Salah had Salah scored earlier it could very well have been a different game, this is one too many hypotheticals though, and the real issue is not how the forwards
played — because they were promising before the red card, and Salah continued
running behind, to no avail (
thanks to the lack
of vision from the midfield) before he was substituted at half time — instead it was how the team reacted to being a man and a goal down, away from home, and it brought back memories
of that capitulation
against Sevilla — Liverpool's next opponent — in the Europa League Final.
