Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has spoken on the Mohamed Salah drama and how he doesn't care what fans think.

Salah said he has been "thrown under the bus" by the club after Saturday's 3-3 draw at Leeds and he was consequently left out of the squad for Tuesday's Champions League game at Inter Milan

Carragher was highly critical of Salah after his devastating comments but said on CBS Sports: “Mo, I apologise I've upset you. I love you as the Liverpool player, but you just need to behave yourself off the pitch.” 

Carragher doubles down

The Egyptian winger has not played just 45 minutes in Liverpool's last four games and as the media speculate about his future, Carragher has doubled down on the situation as he wrote in his column for The Telegraph. 

“Liverpool’s is divided between those who dedicate their life to supporting the team – the familiar faces you see and hear even as players at home and away – and those who spend their time on social media and are disconnected from the mood in and around the city and the stadium itself. 

"After I spoke on the Salah situation on Monday Night Football, I was alerted to those who disagreed with my take. I couldn’t care less, because I intuitively know I am on the same page as those supporters who were at San Siro on Tuesday night. 

“I am in touch with enough of them to be able to measure if my mood reflects theirs. The day I no longer believe that to be true is the day I stop commenting on Liverpool. 

"There is a newer generation of supporters who follow players more than a club. If Salah had left two years ago or last summer, they would have taken their allegiance with him. I would go so far as to say that there are some who would have happily seen Liverpool lose to increase the prospects of Salah staying and Slot leaving.” 

Liverpool are now holding private talks behind-closed-doors with Salah ahead of this weekend’s clash with Brighton. This will be his final game for the club before he jets off for the Africa Cup of Nations, a game which many believe could be his last for the club, full stop.
