If you're left wondering what-if cos they're lost one player then I'm sorry but that team doesn't deserve to win. Fact is, the team is only as strong as their weakest link and that was Karius.
Firmino was completely shut out of the game, midfield totally overrun after 20 minutes. Defence left panicking after the first goal about Karius.
Put this way, if it had been any star player in Real Madrid, say Ronaldo, or Ramos who had to be taken off would you have thought "damn, they're fucked now". No you wouldn't cos you know their bench and the rest of the squad is good enough to cope. In fact Ronaldo was poor but they coped. If Salah HAD stayed on and was poor they'd never have done it. That's the problem when you rely on one player too much. It's happened throughout history and last night was another example.
They lost Salah. That should have spurred the rest of the team to say "let's do this". Only Mane did. The rest dropped back and panicked.
And we'll ignore that it was Salah's other arm that got dislocated, not the one Ramos had hold of
