Jamie Carragher criticizes Mo Salah‘s Silence During Liverpool‘s Struggles
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has delivered a pointed critique of Mo Salah’s lack of public engagement as teh club navigates a challenging period,marked by a recent 2-0 defeat to Everton and dwindling hopes for Premier League and Europa League titles. Carragher questioned why Salah, typically vocal on social media, has remained largely silent amidst the team’s difficulties.
Speaking on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, Carragher stated, “I think there’s a time when you have to show a bit of leadership, and I think Salah… he’s always been someone who keeps himself to himself. But I think when your team is going through a really tough time, and you’re the main man, you need to say something.” He further elaborated that a simple message acknowledging the situation and expressing commitment to improvement would be beneficial.
liverpool currently sit third in the Premier League table, trailing Manchester City by two points with five games remaining. Their recent form has been inconsistent, and the loss to Everton – their first at Goodison Park since 2010 – intensified scrutiny on the team’s performance. The club was also eliminated from the Europa League by Atalanta, leaving the FA Cup as their remaining opportunity for silverware this season.
Salah has scored 19 Premier League goals this season, making him Liverpool’s top scorer, but has not posted on X (formerly Twitter) since April 15th, a period coinciding with the team’s downturn in form. Carragher’s comments highlight a growing expectation for Salah to demonstrate leadership both on and off the pitch during this critical juncture for Liverpool.
