Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has strongly criticized Mohamed Salah following the Egyptian star's recent public comments questioning his standing at the club. Salah expressed frustration after being benched for three games, suggesting that the club "threw him under the bus" and implied that someone within Liverpool "doesn't want him" there. He also hinted at uncertainty about his future, stating he would visit Anfield to say goodbye to fans but was unsure what might happen next.

Carragher responded by emphasizing that Salah's decision to speak out was misguided. He argued that Salah tends to speak publicly only when things are going badly for him, and in a way that could be seen as self-serving. Carragher suggested that Salah’s benching was a result of poor recent performances rather than any deliberate move by the club to push him out.

The former defender highlighted underlying problems within Liverpool, noting that the team has struggled under the new system and no player in Salah's position has performed well lately. Carragher underlined that selection decisions are based on current form, implying that Salah had not earned his spot in the starting lineup during this difficult period.

Overall, Carragher saw Salah's public airing of grievances as indicative of broader issues at Liverpool but felt it was inappropriate for the player to voice these concerns in such a manner. He conveyed that the criticism appeared more reactionary and personal rather than constructive, hinting at tensions both within the squad and between Salah and the club management.
