Whether it all helps the situation or not, I don't think it does."But you can totally understand why people are frustrated and it also comes because people have got so much respect for Mo, it sort of comes more from the heart than actually wanting to be sticking the dagger in.Jamie Carragher has made his feelings clear on Mohamed Salah(Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images)"So it's a really weird situation because obviously everyone associated with football, certainly Liverpool, love Mo. So I think it's more hurting personally than it is to people just wanting to jump in and stick their boot in."Johnson went on to suggest that Salah has mishandled this situation, and it should have been resolved privately, away from prying eyes."I don't think anything like that [disputes] should be done publicly," the former England international declared."Whatever goes on between the pros and the staff and everyone in the dressing room, speak freely, say whatever you want, have a bust up in the dressing room, but you walk out as team-mates.Mohamed Salah faces an uncertain future at Liverpool(Image: PA)"You know, you say what you think you need to say and people will have their chance to retaliate and then you dust off and go again."It's almost like when it goes out publicly, it's almost like the last resort.
