Carragher On Salah’s Post
“I wasn’t surprised. I told everybody at Sky behind the scenes, my friends who were liverpool fans, I said Salah something else will come before the end of the season. He will drop another bomb. A little bit like what Ronaldo did on the way out of Manchester United. I thought it may come after the end of the season when he sort of moved on but no.
“On this show less than two years ago, I called him selfish for doing an interview and that rings true again. Liverpool have a really important week this week, still not qualified for the Champions League and it should be about Liverpool FC, not Salah FC, but unfortunately it’s going to be about Mohamed Salah…”
“I don’t think any manager should ever cut off his nose to spite his face. Now if playing Mo Salah at the weekend gives Liverpool the best chance of winning the game, you have to pick him. I’ve criticised Mo Salah in the first answer about being selfish. Arne Slot can’t be selfish and he has to think of the club, what’s best for the club. If Liverpool need a result against Brentford because Bournemouth get a result and do well against City, then he has to pick him if he thinks he is in the best team.
But if Liverpool have already qualified for the Champions League, that might be different. Arne Slot might think to play the players who will be here next season and we bring Mo Salah off the bench, I am not sure.”
“Arne Slot is not in a position of great strength at Liverpool and that’s why Salah made his comments. It’s not a situation of Alex Ferguson where he’s really powerful, got the club on his hands, and he will make decisions… Jose Mourinho… Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, these could have made these decisions and maybe could have gotten away with it with the backing of the crowd. Arne Slot doesn’t have the backing of the crowd. That’s why Salah has done it. If he doesn’t give him the send-off I think the fans will turn on Arne Slot even more. That’s why I’m disappointed in Salah because he knows the manager got no where to go with it.”
