Jamie Carragher has slammed Mo Salah for his shocking interview comments, but the Liverpool legend has struck out again as the stalemate at Anfield continues.
Jamie Carragher has told Mo Salah that his “not fully understanding” the mindset of Liverpool supporters means Arne Slott will emerge stronger from their conflict. Salah, 33, faces an uncertain future at Anfield after accusing the club of “throwing him under the bus” in a bombshell interview last weekend.
The forward watched Liverpool’s dramatic 3-3 draw away to Leeds United from the bench, the same spot where he started the Reds’ last two games. Salah told reporters he no longer had “any relationship” with Slott and claimed “someone” was trying to force him out of the club.
Carragher disputed Salah’s comments, describing them as “disgraceful” and claiming he was trying to get Slott fired. Now, the Liverpool legend has made a new start.
“If Mohamed Salah’s intention in complaining at the Elland Road rally was to undermine Slott, he must now admit that his misguided actions had the opposite effect,” Mr Carragher wrote in a column for the Telegraph.
“The main reason for Salah’s miscalculation is that he does not fully understand the psychology of the club’s passionate fan base. When it comes to choosing between a title-winning Anfield manager and a multi-title winning footballer, the manager always wins.”

The former Reds centre-back went on to touch on the relationship between Liverpool’s fan base and his former manager, and how traveling supporters chanted Slott’s name in the early stages of Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Inter Milan. Salah has been left out of the squad and Slott has yet to confirm whether he will play at home to Brighton on Saturday.
Carragher also addressed the backlash he received for knocking down the Egyptian, adding: “It didn’t bother me too much, because I instinctively knew I was in the same position as the supporters who were at San Siro on Tuesday night.”
“I’m in contact with enough of them to gauge whether my mood reflects theirs. The day I stop believing that to be true is the day I stop commenting on Liverpool.”

Carragher continued: “I have been outraged by his comments last weekend, but it would be an utter travesty if that interview was to be remembered as his last meaningful action at Liverpool.”
“He has done too much for the club for that to happen. He has a responsibility to himself to ensure he gives the legend the farewell he deserves – whenever that may be. If that means he has to apologize then so be it.”
