So, what we want is a footballer who cares about the game as much as the fans do, gives everything to the game, but never outwardly shows negative emotions?

Crying is a completely normal human behaviour. It's the first way that our young communicate with the world. Cry when hungry. Cry when sleepy. Cry when whatever. At a base level it's the first and one of the most important ways we indicate to other humans how we feel, and when we're hurt.

Now think of how much indoctrination you have to go through to get to thinking that getting injured in a Champions' League final and possibly missing out on representing his country at the World Cup (the very thing that people want footballers to care about more than anything, the dream that we would've killed for as kids and probably adults too) is an inappropriate time for the facade to crack a little and let that base reaction come through.

Much as I love a bit of stoicism, I'll look the other way on this one.

Only time I’ve shed a tear at a game was the Walsall don givens fck up. I suppose It shows salah cares.

Yes, he does. He’s adamant John Matthews should have taken it.

Big bottle job by Matthews, he literally turned his back on the kick, his stand in was shit, Givens looked like he’d been on the bottle with that pass back to the keeper.
