In that moment we needed fresh legs, (the substitution) made sense for us." Roy Keane vented that Salah should "just sit down and shut up"; the former Manchester United captain did not have any complaints about Liverpool's superstar showing disappointment at his withdrawal, but added that he had to accept the manager's choice and advised the player to "just sit down and shut up".
