This was something we all knew:

When a substitution was needed, it was easier to take Bobby off than to upset either of the other two.

There were many times when one of them when one of them would put in an awful performance, yet would seem to be immune from being substituted. All of us remember matches when it would make no sense that one of them wasn't coming off.

I actually don't agree with this. I think they were both kind of players that would be able to score goals even when they had a shit performance and that very much played a part into not getting subbed off even on their bad days.

On the other hand, unfortunately Bobby didn't have as much stamina as the other two and was also more injury prone, so he was subbed off more.

Basically I think it is true that Bobby was getting subbed off more than the other two, but I don't think it was mainly because of them throwing tantrums.

Salah is unreal for this. He could be invisible for 90% of the game, but then end the game with 2 goals and an assist.
