The comment about Salah throwing Trent under the bus seems more like an emotional jibe than fair analysis.
I’d be interested to hear Klopp’s opinion on that particular claim.

Problem with Carragher he’s 30% fan, 30% pundit, 30% pub bore and 10% gobshite who thinks he’s the big I am.
Even he doesn’t know where he’s speaking from half the time and that comes across very obviously in a lot of his work.
You’d like to think he’d have known the type of questions that would come his way tonight and he’d have taken some time to plan a considered and balanced response. Voice your disappointment as a fan but acknowledge the frustration he might be feeling from the position of former player now turned pundit.
Instead he’s gone for the full pub bore mixed with gobshite approach and thrown fuel on a fire that didn’t need it. Well done, you’ve given the story another round as the lead of the football news cycle after the club have tried to buy some time to let emotions settle.

He was looking at his notes the whole time. Had clearly been planning all weekend to maximise the social media hits

I liked what Carragher said. Mo has been too me, me, me and it needs team, manager and fans all coming together to make a star.
The one footballing criticism he did give is that he wishes Mo would have rolled it to Wirtz to score. It would have been humble and helped the new fella, and the team and its future, instead of Mo looking like he is pursuing his own stats.
I didn’t think he said anything untoward, especially in the context of being a pundit and getting paid to give his opinion.

His life after football has been the media. He’s the face of Sky Football.
They stuck by him after he spat at the young girl. He knows which side his bread his buttered.
He’s doing his job well, everyone is talking about it. That’s fine, but lets not pretend he’s just a fan with no other agenda.

What does not winning nothing for Egypt explain? England have won nothing for 60 years. Does that have any relevance to English players’ legacy for their clubs?

100%. Mo has got to go. It’s a sad end but he’s chosen to go out without dignity. At this point I expect the club will look to excise him quickly, as a surgeon would during an operation. He’s chosen for it to go this way.
Yeah but the bar was fucking low.
Lost 3-0 to a Dyche Forest
Lost 4-1 to PSV
Both at home, I know people laugh but those two prior to the West Ham game were fucking atrocious. Also throw in the fact the other one were he was dropped and threw a hissy was Frankfurt.

If Salah wants to leave the club eventually with most of his legacies intact, it will need to at least come down to this before coming back from Afcon “I love Liverpool and I am as frustrated with the results on field and being dropped for consecutive games got the better of me. But as a professional and for someone whom the club and fans have gave me so much, I should have never said those things in the interview. It is true I was very disappointed to be dropped but it should have been something I have a conversation in private with the club. I apologize and I hope I can get an opportunity to continue contributing to the club in any capacity”
Then at least he can leave in the summer with at least not in animosity vibes

I am so disappointed and upset with Carragher’s remarks on Mo. It seems like he jhas wanted to to find something negative to say about Mo this season. 
That was uncalled for to say things about his past career and AFCON. Mo did alot for our club and helped us win our 20th title.
Are the club just going to throw him away as if he did nothing for us. It is so sad.

Exactly Maria
We all know Mo was wrong on Saturday, thats a given. But the notion of Carra, a player with his own agendas acting like a vulture on his legacy is quite sickening.

I think Carragher’s agenda is irrelevant. Salah was completely wrong in what he did and needs to apologise or leave now. If anything, he’s thrown the club under a bus. Sometimes the truth hurts, doesn’t it.

Yes, Mo was wrong
However, Jamie’s rant is absolutely relevant in that it stokes up tensions and makes things worse. Like it or not, Carragher has a big media platform now, both through his podcasts and as a Sky Sports “pundit”.
He should have exercised more restraint.

He lacks the brains for that.

The above is me exercising restraint, when really I’d like to tell Mo face to face, exactly what I think about his attack on the club.

Also probably why he was chosen for Sky Sports. They like this sort of ragebait stuff

The problem with Carragher venting his spleen is that it adds layers to a complicated fix. Like it or not, he is a former Liverpool player, high profile pundit and a man who should know better.
No one, in my view can condone how Mo handled this. But there is room to sort this, with a bit of will on each side. Carra hasn’t helped with his piece.

I mean listen, I get it mate. I was jawdropped when I heard Mo rant like that. It was childish, petulant, unprofessional. Yes, people do lose it from time to time. But let’s start with giving him the benefit of the doubt (in fact both him and Arne) and see if we can settle this in a civil manner.
We already have enough turmoil on the pitch to contend with.

No that’s what Mo has done. If he thinks he deserves to have a strop in public in a way that basically amounts to it’s me or the manager because he didn’t get to play 2.5 games when he’s been stinking the place up for months then he should be nowhere near the club, regardless of what he’s done in the past.
