    So you’re a Salah fan, not a LFC supporter? Good to know.

    I adore Salah. Club legend who can sit at the same table as Rush, Dalglish, Fowler, Gerrard et al.

    Slot isn’t a fan boy/girl, he’s the manager and has to do what he believes is in the best long term interest of the club. Slot wasn’t willing to build a team around an aging player, having the rest of the team do his running, tracking back, dummy runs to make him space… it might have worked for another season or two, but all good things come to an end, and time and tide wait for nobody. Any player not performing can and should be dropped. This is the real world, honey - bienvenue.

    Slot is the manager of Liverpool Football Club, not Salah.

    Slot probably hopes to be employed by LFC in 5 years, Salah won’t be able to perform at the required level of the Premier League in 5 years. It’s how getting older works.

    No player will ever be bigger than the club.

    Oh a dozen predates the imperial system by a long way. From wiki because I’m a lazy…

    The dozen may be one of the earliest primitive integer groupings, perhaps because there are approximately a dozen cycles of the Moon, or months, in a cycle of the Sun, or year. Twelve is convenient because it has a maximal number of divisors among the numbers up to its double, a property only true of 1, 2, 6, 12, 60, 360, and 2520.[1]

    The use of twelve as a base number, known as the duodecimal system (also as dozenal), originated in Mesopotamia (see also sexagesimal). Twelve dozen (122 = 144) are known as a gross; and twelve gross (123 = 1,728, the duodecimal 1,000) are called a great gross, a term most often used when shipping or buying items in bulk. A great hundred, also known as a small gross, is 120 or ten dozen. Dozen may also be used to express a moderately large quantity as in “several dozen” (e.g., dozens of people came to the party).[2]

    Varying by country, some products are packaged or sold by the dozen, often foodstuff (a dozen eggs).

    What a naive comment.

    It’s a country the size of a continent with over 300 million citizens. Lots of Americans do what you suggested, but tell somebody in LA or NYC to “get chickens and a small coop” they’d laugh and tell you their reality is very different from yours.
