Jamie Carragher claims Mohamed Salah talks only for a new contract
Jamie Carragher has expressed concerns regarding Mohamed Salah’s leadership within the Liverpool squad. He accused the forward of only being vocal during specific moments, such as when negotiating a new contract or following a standout performance.
Crisis for Liverpool Following Loss
In a recent match, Liverpool suffered a significant 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield. This loss marked the club’s sixth defeat in their last seven matches. As a result, captain Virgil van Dijk labeled the situation as a “mess.” Many fans are questioning the team’s overall performance this season.
Calls for Greater Leadership
Carragher noted that while Van Dijk usually addresses the media in times of crisis, other players, including Salah, should also take on this responsibility. “The captain should speak, but other players need to share the burden,” Carragher stated during his appearance on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football.
- Jamie Carragher questioned Salah’s willingness to speak up.
- Virgil van Dijk is often the sole player addressing Liverpool’s challenges.
- Salah had previously discussed his contract situation openly.
Salah’s Performance Under Scrutiny
This season, Salah’s contributions have faced criticism. He has scored only four goals and provided two assists in 12 league matches, despite having won the Premier League Golden Boot last season.
Reflections on Leadership
Carragher expressed his desire for Salah to step into a more significant leadership role within the club. “I would like to see Salah become one of the leaders and legends of Liverpool,” he added.
The recent defeat not only highlighted Liverpool’s struggles but also raised questions about manager Arne Slot, particularly as the team finds itself 11 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal. Liverpool’s recent performances have left fans concerned about the direction the club is heading.
