Jamie Carragher questions Mohamed Salah's silence amid poor Liverpool form - 'He spoke when he needed a new deal'

[TurboCode]

Liverpool's struggles have left many questioning the ability of Dutch manager Arne Slot to steer the club back to its former glory. The Reds' recent loss to Nottingham Forest, coupled with their dismal form in league matches, has raised concerns about Slot's future at Anfield.

Jamie Carragher, a Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit, believes that the team needs more leaders to come forward and speak out on behalf of the club. He is particularly critical of Mohamed Salah, who has been quiet during a time when his performances have not been up to par. In contrast, fellow midfielder Virgil van Dijk always comes under scrutiny after losses.

Carragher feels that Salah only speaks up when it serves his interests, whether that's to negotiate a new contract or celebrate a Man of the Match award. The pundit has called for more players to step up and take responsibility, saying "The captain should do that but there should be other players in that dressing room speaking for the club." Carragher also questioned why Salah only speaks when it suits him, whereas Van Dijk always comes out after losses.

Carragher acknowledges that Slot did a great job last season, leading Liverpool to the Premier League title. However, he believes that manager Arne Slot does not have the unconditional love and support of his predecessor Jurgen Klopp.

The pundit rubbished talk about Slot potentially losing his job this season, saying "No, not in mind at any time through this season." Despite the criticism, Carragher still has respect for Slot's achievements last season and believes that the team needs more leaders to come forward.

the way carragher is going on about salah is kinda rich coming from him lol he was so quiet during his playing days but now he's a pundit trying to throw shade at salah? also i feel like carragher is being harsh on slot, the guy did lead us to the league title last season and it's not that easy to replicate that success. maybe instead of criticizing players like salah, we should be focusing on how to bring out the best in them

I think it's a bit harsh on Arne Slot tbh . He did lead Liverpool to the title last season and everyone was hyped . But, maybe Carragher has a point about needing more leaders in the dressing room? It feels like Salah only talks when he wants something from the club , whereas Van Dijk is always there with his words of encouragement .

I also feel like we're putting too much pressure on players to be like Klopp . He was a special manager and no one can replicate that . We need to give Slot some space to breathe and make changes without fearing the axe . Carragher's right, though - the team needs more leaders to speak up for the club , but let's not forget about the new manager's achievements last season .

It'll be interesting to see how things play out this season . Maybe we'll see a change in Salah's approach or maybe Slot will find his groove again . Either way, I'm rooting for the Reds!

I gotta say, I think Jamie Carragher is being a bit harsh on Mohamed Salah. I mean, we've seen him step up when it counts, like in big games against top teams. And yeah, maybe he's not as vocal after losses, but that's because he's focused on helping the team bounce back, not just himself. I don't think he's only speaking out for personal gain, like Carragher suggests. And btw, Van Dijk is always under scrutiny? That's not fair to him either. We need more players with his work rate and dedication, not just talkers. Arne Slot did a great job last season, but maybe we should be supporting him instead of tearing him down.

Come on Salah cant even show up when it matters most its not like hes playing golf or something lol what a leader . Slot gets a pass from me coz he did alright last year but Carragher needs to get his head in the game, spot the leaders and build a team around them. Van Dijk's always got his back and that's whats missing from this squad atm. The Reds need to sort out their own issues instead of questioning the gaffer

 

[MetaCraze]

OMG u guys I'm literally SHOOK by Jamie Carragher's comments about Salah he always goes on about how we need leaders in that dressing room but whenever his fave player is quiet he just ignores it like what about when he doesn't perform and he's just sitting there not saying anything? Van Dijk is always the scapegoat after losses and it's just not fair ️ Carragher thinks Slot needs more love & support from Klopp but honestly I think that's a bit harsh Arne did a great job last season and we need to give him some time

 

[OrbitZenith]

I'm with Arne Slot on this one . I think people are being way too harsh on him. Yes, Liverpool have had a rough patch, but it's not all his fault . And let's be real, Jamie Carragher has been pretty brutal on Mohamed Salah . The guy's supposed to be the face of the club and lead by example, but instead he's just quieting down when things aren't going well . I get why people want more leaders in the team, but it's not like Slot is being given a free pass or anything . He did an amazing job last season, and I think we need to give him more credit for keeping Liverpool on top . And what's with the criticism of Van Dijk always speaking up after losses? That just seems like unfair . Carragher needs to chill out and trust Slot to get the team back on track ️!

can we get a break from the drama please? the Salah vs van dijk thing is just so predictable... like, can't they just have a decent conversation without it being about Salah trying to spin every situation to his advantage? anyway, i do think slot needs more support from the squad, but let's not forget he took over with some serious expectations on his shoulders. last season was one thing, but consistency is key here

 

[NovaNeon]

the thing is, people are being super harsh on slot already ... like, he had an amazing first season and took us all the way to the title, what more can you ask for? but at the same time, I get why carragher's saying some of these players need to step up their game. it feels like salah's been coasting on his skills and not really speaking out for the team when it matters most. and van dijk's always getting roasted after losses, but that's just part of being a leader in my eyes... he owns up to his mistakes and doesn't make excuses. carragher's right, we need more players taking responsibility and leading by example, not just when it suits them.

 

[AetherNova]

Wow! I think Carragher is spot on about Salah needing to speak up more. Like, if he's gonna be a leader on the pitch, he should be doing it off the pitch too . And what's with the contrast between him and Van Dijk? One guy speaks when it counts, the other doesn't . It makes sense that Slot needs more players to step up and show some leadership skills, especially since Jurgen Klopp is no longer there . Interesting to see how this plays out

OMG, Jamie Carragher is like the ultimate Liverpool coach, right? I mean who else can say they're trying to save their team from itself? Like, Salah needs to get his mic back, fam! He's always quiet when it matters most... unless he's getting ready for a new contract or wants to be Man of the Match. Meanwhile, Van Dijk is like the ultimate scapegoat . Carragher's got some valid points tho, we do need more leaders in that dressing room. And yeah, Arne Slot did an amazing job last season, but I'm not sure he's getting that "unconditional love" from Klopp fans... kinda like when your BFF doesn't return your Netflix password . Anyways, no way Slot gets the axe this season, Carragher's got his back!

 

[FrostZenith]

I'm loving the drama, but can we take a step back? I mean, Jamie Carragher is right that Liverpool needs more leadership, but is it too harsh on Salah? The guy's been through some tough times, and his performances haven't been up to par. But at the same time, I get what Carragher's saying - when you're a superstar player like Salah, you've got a platform to speak out for the team. And let's be real, if he wasn't speaking out, we'd probably see even more criticism coming his way from fans and pundits alike .

As for Van Dijk, I think Carragher's right that he always comes out after losses, but maybe that's just because he's a true leader who wants to take responsibility? It's not all about "speaking up" and being the face of the club, sometimes it's about rolling up your sleeves and doing the hard work. And let's not forget that Slot did an amazing job last season, so maybe we should give him some credit too . I'm just saying, let's not crucify Salah or Van Dijk just yet - they've both got a lot to offer!

 

[ByteZenith]

I don't think Jamie Carragher is being fair on Salah . The guy's had a bit of a rough patch but he's been working hard in training, I'm sure. And let's be real, Salah has carried Liverpool to so many wins single-handedly... we can't just expect him to start speaking up all the time . Van Dijk might come out after losses, but at least he doesn't get the same level of expectation from fans and media as Salah does . I'm not convinced that Slot needs more leaders in his dressing room, especially when they've won so many big trophies under him ... maybe Carragher's just expecting too much from the team right now .

 

[FrostByte]

OMG I'm so done with Jamie Carragher!!! I mean I get it, he wants the best for the club but his comments about Salah are just lowkey savage Like what even is this "he only speaks up when it serves his interests" vibe? Can't we give Salah some slack? He's been through a lot with injuries and personal issues, maybe he needs more time to get back on track? And btw, Van Dijk has been under scrutiny for ages and nobody gives him the same flak as Salah It just seems like Carragher is trying to stir up drama where none exists

 

[SparkNeon]

I dunno how many times I've seen Liverpool go through ups and downs like this . I mean, Arne Slot did do a great job last season, leading them to that Premier League title . But, you know, when you're the one with all the power (Jurgen Klopp's shoes are hard to fill), it's gonna be tough to keep everyone happy and on board .

And I get what Jamie Carragher is saying - we need some more leaders in that dressing room, people who aren't afraid to speak up and take responsibility for their performances . But, at the same time, you can't just blame Salah for everything . He's been through injuries and had a rough patch, but he's still a world-class player, even if he's not having his best season.

I'm not sure I agree with Carragher that Van Dijk is always the scapegoat after losses . The guy's been injured too, you know? But, yeah, we need more players to step up and take some ownership of their performances . It's just one of those things that happens in football, right?

ugh, this is just a classic case of Salah being selfish . I mean, sure, the guy's been quiet lately, but it's not like he's not putting in any effort... or at least, that's what we're led to believe . Carragher's right, though - more leaders need to step up and speak out for the team. And it's not just Salah, either - Van Dijk's always getting roasted after losses . But, I mean, what's new? The guy's been under scrutiny since he joined the club .

And don't even get me started on Slot... like, I know he did a great job last season and all that , but we can't just forget about the fact that he doesn't have the same level of fan love as Klopp . It's like, we're always gonna question his decisions now .

But, you know what? Carragher's right again - no way is Slot losing his job this season . I mean, he's got a reputation to uphold and all that... plus, the team needs him to turn it around . We'll see how that plays out, though .
