Carragher Critiques Salah's Leadership Amid Liverpool's Struggles

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has ramped up his criticism of Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah, claiming that Salah's silence during the club's recent struggles indicates a greater concern for contract matters than for the team's performance.

Salah, who is experiencing a dip in form, has faced scrutiny following a series of defeats, with some analysts even suggesting he should be dropped from the starting lineup.

On "Sky Sports," Carragher stated that Salah tends to speak out only when he wins individual accolades or is negotiating a new contract, while remaining quiet during challenging times. He noted that Dutch captain Virgil van Dijk consistently steps up to address the media on behalf of the team after losses.

Carragher further remarked that Salah previously exhibited more confidence in discussing his future but now appears to lack the leadership qualities expected of him to advocate for the club's image.

This criticism comes as Salah has scored only eight goals this season, a significant drop from the 22 goals he had at the same stage last year, highlighting a notable decline in his performance level.
