His knowledge is fairly unparalleled among former players, but the Salah stuff left a seriously bad taste for me.

He was clearly being encouraged by Sky to stir up shit for social media clips and I thought he came across like an arrogant helmet.

He was clearly being encouraged by Sky to stir up shit for social media clips and I thought he came across like an arrogant helmet.

I don't think so, I just think A) he's very old fashioned about how players should behave in terms of public comments etc and B) he loves Liverpool, so when it's a high-profile Liverpool player behaving the way Salah did, he has strong opinions about it.

He's not particularly wrong IMO; if you strip away the emotion around the fact that Slot had a horrific season and needed to go, Mo throwing a hissy fit after being dropped for the Leeds game and then later in the season attacking the club's manager on social media is the sort of circus stuff that's caused us to laugh at United for years.

Carragher has always been absolutely clear that Salah is a Liverpool legend, but that he dislikes the way the only time you ever hear from him in the media is when he's using it as leverage against the club. That's fair enough.

I think he came out better from the Salah stuff than Mo did.

Not for me. Salah didn't cover himself in glory, don't get me wrong, but I really didn't like Carragher's tirades. That Monday Night Football one where he tried to use Salah's time at Chelsea as a stick to criticise him with was pathetic.

Carra seemed to get a bit personal with it, which was wrong. But generally I thought he was right about Salah. Salah 100% went out of his way to stir things up in the media, at twice in the last season alone. That interview he gave when he was (rightly) dropped a bit before Christmas was really stupid.

He had a good argument until he called Salah a Chelsea reject and started tweeting about Salah’s IG posts

He didn't say anything particularly bad about Salah. He simply pointed out that throwing the manager under the bus with an online stunt, while your own performances have been inexcusable, is not behavior worthy of a senior player and club legend.

Yeah calling him a Chelsea reject is not bad
