Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has launched a scathing attack on Mohamed Salah, calling the forward’s recent public criticism of the club a “disgrace.” Carragher accused Salah of orchestrating his comments to cause “maximum damage” and suggested the player is attempting to get manager Arne Slot sacked. This explosive feud highlights a deepening crisis at Anfield.
Salah’s Explosive Post-Match Comments
The controversy erupted after Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United, where Salah was an unused substitute. In a rare post-match interview, the Egyptian star made several incendiary claims:
- He stated he no longer has a relationship with manager Arne Slot.
- He accused the club of “throwing him under the bus.”
- He claimed someone at Liverpool wanted him to “get all of the blame.”
Manager Arne Slot responded by saying he did not feel undermined but admitted he had “no clue” if Salah had played his last game for the Reds. The club subsequently omitted Salah from the Champions League squad to face Inter Milan.
Carragher’s Damning Verdict on Sky Sports
On Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, Carragher did not hold back. He dismissed the idea that Salah’s comments were an emotional outburst. Instead, he argued they were a calculated move.
“I think whenever Mo Salah stops in a mixed zone… it’s choreographed with him and his agent to cause maximum damage and strengthen his own position,” Carragher stated. He believes Salah intentionally chose a moment of club weakness—after a poor result—to attack the manager, potentially to “get him sacked.”
“All About Me, Me, Me”
Carragher turned Salah’s “thrown under the bus” accusation back on the player. “He’s thrown the club under the bus twice in the last 12 months,” he said. The pundit emphasized that Salah should be helping the team during their worst run since the 1950s, not creating further division.
He also questioned Salah’s perceived ingratitude. “You weren’t a big star before you came to Liverpool… you need help from your team-mates, your manager and fans,” Carragher reminded him. “When he talks after Leeds, it’s all about me, me, me.”
A History of Tension
This is not the first public clash between Carragher and Salah. Last season, they feuded over contract talks, with Carragher labeling the player “selfish.” The latest outburst escalates their rivalry and casts a dark shadow over Salah’s Liverpool future, exposing a severe fracture between a club icon and its current star.
