On pens after extra time would be even better.

There is no chance of titles being stripped, even though they should be. Premier League cares more about its brand than anything else and having to rewrite history will do massive damage to it so just can't see it happening.

Some snippets from Telegraph article: The passing of time smooths it over. For Liverpool – and Salah himself – the consolation is it could have been worse. Ever since he went public with his misgivings at Elland Road in December, both parties have been looking for a way out of the two-year contract extension that was agreed last summer. At 33, Salah did not get the interest he might have wanted in the January window. The prospect of paying a fee, plus his salary demands – currently £400,000 per week – did not create the market for which he might have hoped. Liverpool would have welcomed that fee. It would also have been a swift resolution. A great player who had publicly torched his relationship with Arne Slot was no longer delivering at the levels he had last season and for much of his nine years at the club. Last summer the club would have preferred a one-year extension but Salah would not entertain it. Now that is effectively what the club have and Salah – disenchanted with Slot and life at Liverpool – has his free agency. Within the club, Salah remains popular with staff and team-mates – and that goodwill is not expected to expire before he leaves. As for his dealings with FSG, the executive of Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes and Slot, he remains as uncompromising as ever. He sees himself as one of the world game’s elite players and believes he should be treated accordingly. He and his long-term agent Ramy Abbas are not in any doubt that Salah should remain first choice, and once that no longer became the view of Slot then a collision was inevitable. There was no possibility of Salah staying if he was not a starting XI player. Once his on-field output made that unsustainable it was a matter of time. Salah fell out with Jürgen Klopp when he was dropped by the former Liverpool coach for the game against West Ham in April 2024. His relationship with Slot, who has now done the same, appears beyond repair. Equally for Liverpool, the prospect of the squad’s highest-paid player being on the bench created a dynamic with which no club could live comfortably.

I think he will be leaving on a free.

Has scored as many PL goals as Gakpo this season, who has been crap. Went a whole year without scoring a PL goal in open play. Not good for a player who’d cost at least £70m

He wants the salary of someone who you'd expect to be a leader on the pitch and he's not even close. Can you imagine him without Virgil?

Bring in Gerrard with a decent No 2 until the end of season only. The new manager bounce will hopefully be enough to win a few games and get CL for next season.

Chiesa to come on when we are 3-1 down is my prediction

Gravenberch misses the next game if he gets booked, no need to keep him on

From the Torygraph today: Their relationship goes back to the 2000s when Hughes was a midfielder at Portsmouth and Edwards was an analyst. Hughes later became a sounding board for Edwards and, it is even said, helped recommend the signing of Mohamed Salah in 2017 – underwhelming at the time and with Jürgen Klopp unsure – even though Hughes was with Bournemouth

FSG will want another coach, not a manager unfortunately
