Pundit and club legend insists he won’t retract criticism, pointing to multiple underperforming stars while singling out Egyptian forward’s recent behavior.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has forcefully reiterated his view that Mohamed Salah’s recent behavior towards the club has been “a disgrace,” while highlighting a host of other Reds players who have failed to deliver this season.
The strong criticism follows a turbulent period for the star forward. After being left on the bench for three consecutive games, Salah publicly claimed the club had “thrown me under the bus.” The dispute escalated when he was omitted from the squad for a Champions League trip to Inter Milan, a move seen as the club taking a firm stand.
While Salah returned to assist a goal against Brighton last weekend, Carragher’s stance remains unmoved. “I wouldn’t take anything back,” he stated on the Stick to Football podcast. “It was a disgrace. I don’t mind someone having a different view, but you’ve got to back it up.”
Carragher expanded his critique to a broader team slump, naming several underperformers but drawing a distinction in their situations. He suggested players like Cody Gakpo have been dropped, while others like Ryan Gravenberch have retained their place largely due to a lack of alternatives in their position.
“Everybody in that team hasn’t been playing well, besides [Dominik] Szoboszlai,” Carragher claimed, listing a series of inconsistent performers.
The pundit’s core argument is that Salah has not been uniquely scapegoated. Where manager Arne Slot has had viable options to replace out-of-form players, he has used them. For Carragher, this context makes Salah’s public outburst—especially from a senior figure—particularly inexcusable.
The comments underscore the tense atmosphere surrounding Anfield as the club navigates a patchy run of form, with its highest-profile player now at the center of a very public debate about performance and professionalism.
