Carragher Critiques Salah's Silence During Liverpool's Struggles

Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has voiced strong criticism of Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah, asserting that Salah's silence during the club's recent struggles suggests he is more concerned with contract negotiations than the team's difficulties.

Salah's performance has come under scrutiny as he has scored only eight goals this season, a stark contrast to the 22 goals he had at the same point last year. This decline has led some analysts to call for his removal from the starting lineup.

Carragher stated in an interview with "Sky Sports" 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 often takes on the responsibility of addressing the media after losses.

Carragher further remarked that Salah, who previously displayed more assertiveness regarding his future, now appears to lack the leadership qualities expected of him, particularly in defending the club's reputation during tough periods.

This criticism arises as Salah's current goal tally reflects a significant drop in his performance levels.
