Salah, who had started on the bench for a third consecutive league game, remained an unused substitute.To make matters worse for the Reds, Liverpool’s talisman then spoke to the media in the mixed zone post-match, delivering a bombshell interview in which he claimed there was no longer a relationship with the head coach and that he had been thrown under the bus following the team’s dismal run of form.Salah later went on to hint that the Premier League clash with Brighton, which Liverpool went on to win 2-0, could be his farewell to the club. You're sitting there and I'm going to make you sit there."Carragher intervened, saying: "You're wrong Wrighty, no, no," to which Wright replied: "That's my opinion Jamie, because he could have easily diffused it and brought him on."Carragher then jumped to Slot’s defence, adding: "It's not about diffusing the situation, it's about a manager trying to get three points, who is absolutely fighting for his life."Listen, we're talking about Liverpool being 2-0 up, you're not going to bring Mo Salah on at 2-0, you don't need a goal.
But the guy in his position scores the goal, so he hasn't got it wrong."The point I'm trying to make is, I'm not saying it's completely wrong [bringing Salah on at 3-2] because he can go up the other end and score you a goal, but the reason he isn't playing is because the three games they played before, they lost 3-0 to Manchester City, 3-0 at home to Nottingham Forest and 4-1 at home to PSV."Carragher concluded his defence of the club by saying: "Bring the war on, the most important thing is the team, the club and getting results. And by the way, ever since Mo Salah's been out of the team, they haven't lost."He's trying to build confidence back as a Liverpool team, where we feel secure, from there we can go on to get the goals.
Mo Salah hasn't played well."I keep saying this, he's one of the greatest players for Liverpool, we love him, but right now, the most important thing isn't individual players, it's getting the team back. He's not sending a message to anybody!"
