Salah is a Chelsea flop — Liverpool legend slams Egypt star

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was highly critical of Mohamed Salah after the Egyptians recent controversial rant. 

As Pulse Sports reported, the 33-year-old chose the nuclear option after he was benched for three consecutive matches. He told reporters that he no longer had a relationship with Arne Slot and accused the club of throwing him under the bus. 

On the latest edition of Sky Sports Monday Night Football, Carragher went in hard on Salah, calling his action a disgrace. He also accused Salah of attempting to orchestrate Arne Slot's sack. 

"I thought it was a disgrace. Some people have painted it as an emotional outburst, I don’t think it was,” he said. "When Salah stops in a mixed zone, which he has done four times in eight years, it’s choreographed between him and his agent to cause maximum damage and strengthen his own position.

"He did that 12 months ago, and I called him out on the show about it. He played on the heartstrings of Liverpool supporters. Liverpool were top of the league, he’d scored the winning 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’d have banners saying ‘give Mo his dough’

"He has chosen this weekend, and he has waited for a bad result - conceding a last-minute goal, Liverpool players, supporters and the manager feel they are gutters.

"He has chosen that time to go for the manager and maybe get him sacked. That’s the way I feel about it. The phrase that jumped out at me was ‘thrown under the bus’. He has tried to throw the club under the bus twice in the last 18 months.

"He has thrown the Liverpool right-back under the bus for eight years by not tracking back. Can you imagine playing behind him? But we accept it because he’s a superstar and he’s scored 250 goals, and he’s given me, as a Liverpool supporter, some of the greatest nights of my life."

Carragher also aimed a dig at Salah's career, reminding the former Roma forward that he struggled at Chelsea and had yet to win a major trophy with Egypt. 

"One thing I want to remind Mohamed Salah and maybe his agent… Before he came to Liverpool, Mo Salah was known as the guy who FAILED at Chelsea. That’s just a fact."

"He’s also the greatest player the country has ever had. Egypt in the AFCON are the most successful nation. But Salah HAS NOT won AFCON.

"That’s not me trying to put him down as a player, but what it tells Mo Salah and his agent it’s not about an individual. You were not a star when you came into Liverpool.

"No matter how good of a player you are, you need help from the teammates, the manager, and the fans. It’s important he remembers that. When he’s talking there, it’s all about ‘me, me and me!’”
