If you go through that, you do have a different opinion, I do think that.”Carragher was incensed by the comments, and said: “How has he been disrespected?

He’s been on the bench, right, for six days. Mo Salah said I’ve got no relationship with the manager The manager then got asked about it and said ‘I spoke to him on Friday about not playing, the day before the game.’“He said he was in the office, you don’t know that, you can’t say he’s getting disrespected!”Liverpool have a choice to make amid Salah fall-outIt should not be forgotten that Slot remains under huge pressure at Liverpool.
