@piersmorgan @Cristiano Hold on Piers. Are you saying that the coach shouldn’t be able to pick the team he wants to pick? That Ronaldo should be guaranteed a place, no matter what?

[Dave Prior @daveprior81]

What a performance, what a team. So proud of the boys for digging that one out. Absolutely outstanding #England

[Dave Prior @daveprior81]

@PaulGolding They are all English. That’s just a fact.

@_PaulHayward @ObserverUK I’ll always love Stokes, and nothing can be taken away from his achievements. But yesterday was bizarre and self-indulgent. Which, ironically, is something Stokes has never been.

The 100 best football players who have ever lived: from Messi to Maradona, Cristiano to Cruyff and everyone in between https://t.co/MPDWrjgL9r

[Dave Prior @daveprior81]

@piersmorgan To be fair, Cristiano isn’t even the best Portuguese player either.

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Conquered it all.

[Dave Prior @daveprior81]

Far too many results and performances like that this season to genuinely justify keeping Slot for next season. Continually grim #LFC

[Dave Prior @daveprior81]

What a magnificent game of football. Two brilliant teams #PSGBAY

Sebastian Sawe - take a bow. Such a sensational sporting achievement.
And I was there #LondonMarathon

[Dave Prior @daveprior81]

Helluva team this PSG. As painful as it is to go out, you’ve got to give a really top team a lot of credit.
A nod to the effort we’ve put in tonight - we looked a lot better - but outclassed by a better team #LFC #PSG #UCL #YNWA

Brilliant evening in Redhill tonight with writers @MarkBillingham and @radiomukhers Very entertaining and inspiring.

At the end of a storm...

Just take a look at Anfield tonight 😍

Arsenal fans sing “feed the Scousers” and Everton put Fans Supporting Foodbanks’ logo on the screen straight away. Quality from Everton. Absolutely embarrassing from the Arsenal fans singing it.

Solidarity with @SFoodbanks. Hunger doesn’t wear club colours 💙❤️

[John Rentoul @JohnRentoul]

What a graceless, unpleasant and embarrassing thing to do

[Dave Prior @daveprior81]

@TheRedmenTV Really like the shape. Think it’s got a lot of promise with the players we have.

[Dave Prior @daveprior81]

In amongst the hysteria - some calm and sensible words.

Mo Salah will never walk alone. He’s too adored by Liverpool fans for what he’s achieved over nine years and 420 games, the 250 goals, 113 assists and the eight trophies, including two Premier Leagues and the Champions League. So many unforgettable memories, so many entries in the history books. Salah will never walk alone because he’s too admired by Liverpool fans for the way he’s represented the club so well on the field and off.

The immediate reaction to Salah’s seemingly inevitable journey towards the Anfield exit - not of his volition - is sadness. Sadness, not so much the reality of it happening. Salah was always going to move or be moved on, probably for Saudi, at some point and his form has been dipping for a while. He's 33. It’s more the manner of Salah’s seeming departure that stirs sadness.

It’s sad to see the situation scarred with such rancour and with such tension with his head coach and, seemingly, the Liverpool hierarchy. Such a special player and man, one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s long, trophy-laden history, deserves a special farewell. Anfield, standing as one, saluting a legend as he leaves. It probably will be in January now.

It’s difficult to see Salah staying after those heartfelt but damaging words at Elland Road last night. Liverpool’s powerbrokers have to back Arne Slot otherwise chaos reigns. Liverpool’s powerbrokers have to back the principle of performance-related selection otherwise positions become sinecures. The mistake Salah made in his comments was about having earned the right to continue starting. Sport doesn’t work that way.

Salah’s many supporters can - with some legitimacy - point to the poor displays of Gakpo and Konate and question why they still start. The problem with Salah is his modest contribution out of possession. That’s fine when the team are winning, and he’s scoring freely, but it’s an issue when they’re struggling as currently. Few Liverpool fans or pundits were surprised when Salah was left on the bench.

Salah doesn’t deserve any special treatment in terms of his place but he does deserve special treatment in how Liverpool work with him now. He's a club great. He's also a huge global figure. If Salah is to leave – and he hasn’t asked to – let’s hope it is done with the respect he deserves for what he’s done for a club that prides itself on people never walking alone. #LFC

[Dave Prior @daveprior81]

The sympathy is appreciated.

[Carl @Carl_M79]

If you're a Liverpool fan who's into cricket you have my deepest sympathy atm. 😅

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota on what would have been his 29th birthday.
