KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Why does Salah never get rested?

As the thread title says, he never seems to get subbed off. 2 or 3 nil up with 30 mins to go, you’d think Klopp would have had him off and not made to play the whole game.

Worried he might burn out if he continues to play every minute of every game. Anyone else think it’s odd?

Maybe he don't need to be? Some players can just go and go so maybe he's one? I bet he gets a rest from the FA cup though.

I honestly think it's because he doesn't work as hard as firmino or mane.

Salah waits for the ball to be played to him most of the time. Mane and Bobby try and win it.

This isn't a negative on Salah. He's amazing at what he does.

7 of our players have played significantly more gametime in the prem than other players in our squad:

Alisson Has played 1710 minutes
VVD Has played 1675 minutes
Robbo Has played 1522 minutes
Wij Has played 1429 minutes
Firmino Has played 1433 minutes
Mane Has played 1438 minutes
Salah Has played 1580 minutes

There's rumoured to be various bonus clauses now in our players contracts. VVD is supposed to have a 750k bonus for 22 clean sheets...I wouldn't be surprised if Salah has a scoring target to achieve a certain bonus and the only times he is rested or is brought off is because of an upcoming important game for instance when Salah was on the bench for the midweek Burnley away game in the prem (both Mane & Robbo were sidelined injured for that game) also Firmino was on the bench. The following weekend we played Southampton in the prem and then the massive must win CL game against Napoli.

Probably because salah is better when he is playing consistently. I think VVD could do with a rest, he's played pretty much every pl game despite having a rib injury earlier in the season.

Well VvD will get his rest agst Bayern.
With Gomez and Matip out, no chance of any rest before that
