On the former Liverpool defender's list, Salah was positioned sixth, with Ian Rush, John Barnes, Graeme Souness, Sir Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard ahead of him.Numerous individuals on social media accused Carragher of disrespecting Salah over the decision to publish it, barely 48 hours after the Egyptian's exit was confirmed.In retaliation, Carragher defended himself, asserting there was no disrespect intended while also stating it was the club's internal media team who shared the video.He tweeted: "It's not poor timing from anyone. I did this interview before Salah announced his decision."Then [I] went on The Overlap a day after the Salah announcement and brought up I'd put him sixth on the LFC list.
The club decided to put it out before I gave away my full list!"After another individual on social media implied Carragher was attempting to have a dig at Salah, given the verbal exchanges they have shared throughout this season, the former defender responded once more.He wrote: "I'm not one of his biggest critics, when have I ever criticised Salah the player?Salah will wave goodbye to Anfield when the season draws to a close (Image: Getty)"I said he's the second-best foreign player ever in the PL! You and plenty of others don't know enough about the club's history and are being very disrespectful to other players on that list!"On The Overlap, responding to Salah's departure, Carragher suggested Liverpool's all-time leading Premier League scorer may consider returning to Italy, where he featured for Fiorentina and AS Roma prior to joining Liverpool.Carragher said: "I think Mo Salah, the way he's driven like a Ronaldo, I don't see the Saudi thing just yet."I can see him in Italy with one of the giants.
