The Paul Gorst verdict as an emotional Anfield waves goodbye to two genuine Liverpool legends, Mohamed Salah and Andy RobertsonHaving taken ownership of Anfield's penalty areas for so much of his nine-year stay as a Liverpool player, it was fitting that Mohamed Salah did so one final time here.As the man known so affectionately as the 'Egyptian King' prepared to bring the curtain down on a glittering, barely believable career at this club, it was a perfect way to round it all off, alongside his daughters, Makka and Kayan, in front of the Kop as they serenaded him once more.Like August's emotional, Diogo Jota-inspired celebration in the win over Bournemouth, Salah was once more unable to hold back the tears in front of the world's most famous football stand.But the man who scored 257 goals for the Reds insists he is at peace with the decision to walk away, cutting short his two-year contract extension signed in April 2025 to explore new horizons as a free agent.READ MORE: Mohamed Salah sends final message to Liverpool team-mates after emotional Anfield goodbyeREAD MORE: Arne Slot describes Liverpool season in one word after 14 year lowIt might not have gone the way Salah would have wanted this season - and he is not alone in that regard - but a tired 1-1 draw with Brentford, to close out this underwhelming campaign, was entirely in-keeping with much of the ordinary football that has been served up.And as the 33-year-old stood on the edge of the box, flanked by his two daughters, the enormity of his decision appeared to finally dawn on everyone concerned.There will never be another like him but the plan to 'replace' him must now accelerate. Liverpool's ability to inject some much-needed dynamism, pace and power into this attack will significantly influence Arne Slot's ability to turn things around as he enters the final year of his own deal this summer.RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande is a firm target and Bradley Barcola, of Paris Saint-Germain, is another who could form part of the equation, but transfer speculation can wait.

For now, this was all about Salah and his old running mate, Andy Robertson.It's difficult to add anything fresh to the glowing tributes said and written about both players in the build-up to their final day on the job here. Their accomplishments will stand the test of time.Salah's feats, in particular, have made him an immortal around these parts.

Make no mistake, Salah will be delighted with that particular morsel.But it was not be Liverpool’s day. The inquests and the interrogations that must happen at Anfield in the coming weeks can wait.This was Salah and Robertson’s day and it will be some time before their like again.
