Jamie Carragher has broken his silence on the Mohamed Salah saga, suggesting that his actions were “a disgrace”.

The Egyptian star has caused shockwaves after declaring his belief that he’s been “thrown under the bus” by the club after being left on the bench in each of the last three matches and failing to play a single minute in two of the three games.

Following the 3-3 draw with Leeds United, Salah claimed that he had “no relationship” with Arne Slot and suggested that the weekend’s clash with Brighton could be his last.

As a result, Liverpool have decided to leave him out of the traveling squad for Tuesday’s clash with Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Jamie Carragher Sends Message To Mohamed Salah



Carragher spoke out on the Salah incident on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football and didn’t mince his words when analysing his conduct post-Leeds United.

He said: “I thought it was a disgrace what he did after the game. Some people have painted it as an emotional outburst, but I don’t think it was. I think that whenever Mo Salah stops in a mixed zone – which is four times in eight years at Liverpool – it’s choreographed by him and his agent to cause maximum damage and strengthen his own position.

“He did it 12 months ago and I called him out on this show. He played on the heartstrings of supporters – Liverpool were top of the league and he’d scored the winner against Southampton. That was the time to put pressure on the ownership. For the rest of the season you had banners saying ‘give Mo his dough’.

“He’s chosen this weekend to do this and I think he’s waited for a bad result for Liverpool. Conceding a last-minute goal, supporters and the manager feel like they’re in the gutter at the moment and he’s chosen that time to go for the manager and try to get him sacked. That’s the way I felt about it.”

Carragher continued: “The one line that stands out for me is ‘thrown under the bus’. He’s tried to throw the club under the bus twice in the last 12 months in the situations I’ve mentioned.

“Going after the owners after they’ve paid hundreds of thousands of pounds a week for six years, he complained a year ago because they hadn’t given him a contract at the age of 32, not that they’re entitled to do that.

“With the manager, he should be doing as much as he can to help the club to end the worst run of results that the club has had since the 1950s.”

Carragher Called Out in Viral Moment During Salah Rant



However, there was a moment during the rant which left the former Liverpool defender scrambling to find his words. Carragher asked his fellow Monday Night Football presenters, “Have I ever criticised Mo Salah on the pitch?” To which host David Jones said: “A couple of weeks ago you said his legs had gone.”

The incident quickly went viral on social media as a separate clip to the interview, with football fans of all clubs taking a moment to appreciate Jones’ comment. One wrote: “Whatever side of the debate you’re on, that’s objectively very funny.” To which another said: “Oh Carragher has been ABSOLUTELY DONE here.”

Numerous fans chose to pay tribute to Jones’ quick thinking, with one writing: “That’s what got me that he was so confident in saying it only to be instantly destroyed by Dave Jones.” That was followed up by a fellow supporter, who said: “I’ve never seen someone contradict themselves as much as Carra with so much confidence.” And a final X user wrote: “Genuinely burst out laughing when this happened. Carragher is an elite gaslighter.”

Salah’s Plan Has Backfired



Jamie Carragher’s comments on Sky Sports were incredibly strong, but I don’t think that many Liverpool supporters will disagree with him.

The Reds are in a difficult moment at the moment and it is times like this when you need your top players pulling together to help the team and get results back on track. That isn’t what has happened with Salah.

Coming out and speaking to the press when things aren’t going your way is not being a team player. He got fans onside last term with his comments about a new contract because supporters wanted him to stay. Now, 12 months on, he’s doing a similar thing again but it’s not having the required effect.

Arne Slot is under pressure as Liverpool boss, there’s no doubt about that, but Salah’s conduct may just galvanise the Liverpool camp as they prepare for a crucial run of games in the context of the season.

Salah is undoubtedly a Liverpool legend, but given that he’s now becoming a toxic influence, it may be in the club’s best interests to move him on.
