Salah gets 8 days rest after this game I’d be baffled why he’d get a rest.
Same, it doesn't make any sense to me to believe that rumour.

He’s one of them players like Sterling as well that can play every 3 days and it’s not an issue. I’ve seen one of the “credible” rumours from a Twitter account that was created 2 weeks ago and got the lineup wrong last week. Salah is hardly ever rested. They’re just top of the league. Palace away isn’t easy. I’ll eat my foot if he doesn’t start.

Well it would be different! Isn’t holding Werner enough of a differential at the moment?

Not only that, I actually transferred him in this week for Vardy... Felt like taking a risk...

I've got to go left field. Having my worst season in FF ever. Even bottom of the family league. My lack of faith in Bamford and Klich has cost me. I'm going Rodrigo at Old Trafford because all the others have Bambi.

Ooops too late stuck with KDB

Totally agree. The only source that I found, other than dodgy Twitter, was a Liverpool Echo headline of Salah being rested when just one of their guys suggested that Salah would be rested. Typical journalism headlining something as likely when all but one of their guys' suggested lines up had Salah starting.

Woops. :oops:

So now it's true that my (C) Salah is rested. You can expect Salah to warm up and play for 15 minutes to get 1 point for each of our team today.

I initially had Salah, but changed to Bruno when it became apparent that he wasn’t going to start.

Today’s outcome doesn’t affect the quality of that decision (irrespective of Bruno’s return).

No doubt a red arrow despite a return of 26 from 3 today.

Captain Salah was not a good decision - after we knew there was a good chance he’d be on the bench. It was credible that he wasn’t going to start, and if you could have changed captains once the starting XI was confirmed you would have.

A good outcome doesn’t make a good decision.

Whilst i agree with the principle itself I.E if i captained a West Brom defender who scored 2 goals and won 2-0 against Man City away it wasn’t originally a good decision to captain him I don’t agree that there was a good chance he would be on the bench. The sources weren’t that credible and had made mistakes the week before and a benching in my opinion wasn’t as viable as everyone said it was so I went with my gut.

Had I known he was going to come on for 33 minutes and been able swap my captain I obviously would have. But again my gut and based on what I said above was enough for me to make my decision and luckily it turned out to be a good one.
