Carragher was name-checked by Salah as the Liverpool forward made his explosive comments (Getty Images)Sensing further criticism from Carragher as he spoke to the media at Elland Road, Salah name-checked the pundit and said: “Tomorrow Carragher is going to go for me again and again and that’s fine.”Carragher says he does not like criticising Salah because of his immense contribution to Liverpool’s recent success but last week claimed that the forward’s “legs have gone”, along with captain Virgil van Dijk’s. 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 did that 12 months ago and I called him out on it.

With the manager right now, he should be doing as much as he can to help the club get out of the worst run they’ve had since the 1950s and he hasn’t done that."Carragher accepted that star players such as Salah don’t expect to be on the bench and are upset when they are, but he blasted the 33-year-old’s “ego” and reminded him that football is a team sport. When Mo Salah’s talking about how many goals he’s scored, ‘I’ve got more than anyone else in the Premier League’, he’s always talking about himself.“I’d remind Salah and his agent that before he came to Liverpool he was known as the man who failed at Chelsea.

When he’s talking after the game, all it’s about is me, me, me.”Carragher also called Salah’s defending “embarrassing” this season, explaining why Slot has dropped the forward during Liverpool’s struggles, and added: “Have I ever criticised Mo Salah on the pitch? He's a legend, you have to put up with certain things.“Some of the criticism has been excessive, but I will go after Salah when he tries to throw my club under the bus.
