Jamie Carragher has hit back at Mohamed Salah after he was called out by the Liverpool star over the weekend.
Salah, 33, called out the former Liverpool star by name as he slammed Arne Slot and his ongoing treatment during the Reds’ torrid run of form on Saturday evening. Salah claimed it “seems like the club has thrown me under the bus”.
Before he added: “It is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame.” Salah then named checked Carragher: “After what I have done for the club it really hurts. You can imagine, really.

“After going from home to the club and you don’t know if you are starting. I know the club too well, I have been here many years. Tomorrow Carragher is going to go for me again and again and that’s fine.”
And Carragher has now responded to the Liverpool captain when appearing on Monday Night Football, alongside James Maddison, ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Wolves.
Carragher slammed Salah, saying he was trying to get Salah sacked: “I thought it was a disgrace what he did after the game. Some people have painted it as an emotional outburst, I do not think it was.
“I think whenever Salah stops in the mix zone, which he’s done four times in eight years at Liverpool it’s choreographed between him and his agent to cause maximum damage and to strengthen his own position.
“He did that 12 months ago and I called him out on this show about it. He played on the heartstrings of the Liverpool supporters. Liverpool were top of the league and he’d scored the wining goal at Southampton.
“That was the time to come out and put pressure on the Liverpool ownership. So, for the rest of the season you have banners in the crowd saying ‘Give Mo his dough’.
“He’s chosen this weekend to do this now and he’s waited for a bad result, they’ve conceded a last minute goal. The Liverpool supporters, the manager, the whole club feels like it is in the gutter at the moment.
“And he’s chosen that time to go for the manager and maybe try and get him sacked. That’s the way I felt about it.”
