Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has offered his perspective on Mohamed Salah’s recent struggles at Anfield, suggesting that the Egyptian star misjudged how deeply the club’s most devoted supporters think and feel.
Writing about Salah’s current situation, Carragher argued that the winger has found himself at a defining crossroads in his Liverpool career — one that could ultimately leave him mentally stronger if handled correctly.
Carragher believes that Salah’s reaction following the draw at Elland Road, when frustrations boiled over in public, backfired badly. Rather than weakening the position of the manager, the former defender insists the episode only reinforced support for the man in charge.
According to Carragher, the core issue lies in a misunderstanding of Liverpool’s culture and its fanbase. He explained that when supporters are forced to choose sides, history shows they will almost always rally behind a title-winning coach rather than a disgruntled player — even one who has lifted multiple trophies.
In Carragher’s view, this loyalty is deeply ingrained at Anfield and should never be underestimated. While Salah remains one of Liverpool’s most accomplished modern players, the former centre-back believes the winger’s recent actions revealed a disconnect with the mindset of those who back the club week in, week out.
The coming weeks, Carragher suggests, will determine whether Salah uses this moment as a turning point — transforming adversity into renewed focus — or allows it to define a difficult chapter in his Liverpool legacy.
