Jamie Carragher has been branded a “disgrace” following his lengthy attack on Mohamed Salah in the wake of his explosive interview. Salah has rocked the boat at Liverpool by going public with his grievances against Arne Slot after being benched for three straight games, with Carragher among his chief critics.
The Liverpool star claimed he had been “thrown under the bus” by Slot, with whom he now had “no relationship”. His shocking comments in the wake of the 3-3 draw at Leeds, in which he didn’t get off the bench, have turned heads and prompted a backlash.
Slot left him out of the travelling squad to play Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night. And Carragher used his appearance on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football to continue his criticism of the club legend, calling him a “disgrace” among other things.
His opinion has angered Ahmed Elmohamady, who has played alongside Salah for Egypt. The former Hull City and Aston Villa defender wrote on X: “Right Jamie you’re a disgrace. Salah completely rewrote his story through hard work, humility, and world-class performances.
“He didn’t ‘fail’ at Chelsea – he was never given the chance. He went to Italy, rebuilt himself, then came to Liverpool and became: A Premier League legend, Egypt’s greatest ever player, One of the most consistent forwards of his generation.
“Salah has carried Egypt for years. And getting Egypt qualified for the World Cup twice after so long, Salah earned everything. No wonder you got blanked by C.Ronaldo. No wonder Messi called you out. No wonder Mourinho said you were below average and not even in the top 1000 defender in PL.”
His comments came after an eight-minute clip of Carragher talking about Salah on MNF went viral on Monday night. "I thought it was a disgrace what he did after the game," Carragher began. "Some people have painted it as an emotional outburst, I don't think it was.
"I think whenever Mo Salah stops in a mixed zone, which he's done four times in eight years at Liverpool, it's choreographed, with him and his agent to cause maximum damage and strengthen his own position.”
He added: "He's chosen this weekend to do this now and he's waited, I think, for a bad result for Liverpool... Everyone involved with the club feels like they're in the gutter at the moment, and he's chosen that time to go for the manager, and maybe try and get him sacked. That's the way I felt about it.
"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 with the situations that I've just mentioned."
