Former Liverpool and England national team footballer Jamie Carragher has once again clarified his stance on the debates surrounding Mohamed Salah. He emphasized that his comments on the Egyptian forward's role in the team and limited playing time should not be considered an insult.
Earlier, Carragher had criticized Salah for being dissatisfied with his position in the team and for complaining about not consistently being in the starting lineup. This sparked mixed reactions among fans and experts. While some considered the criticism excessive, others supported Carragher's position.
Carragher openly expressed his view on the matter. According to him, the issue is not about personal insults but professional evaluation. "Was it an insult? No, it was disappointing. If someone disagrees, I have no issue with that, but any criticism must be based on clear evidence," he said.
The former defender also cited other players in the team as examples. For instance, he mentioned that some had criticized Ibrahima Konaté, but noted that the player regularly features in matches and the team is facing a shortage of central defenders. According to Carragher, blaming a player in such a situation is not logical.
For reference, this season Mohamed Salah has played in 14 Premier League matches, contributing with 4 goals and 3 assists. Nevertheless, debates regarding his playing time and role in the team persist.
Carragher made one point clear: all criticism should be based on facts and circumstances, not emotions. For fans, this debate is another illustration of the level of competition and demands within Liverpool.
