That, though, was still not enough to leave some supporters happy.READ MORE: Liverpool injury news and return dates ahead of Man City after Giovanni Leoni updateREAD MORE: Jurgen Klopp confirms Liverpool return after emotional welcome during Legends gameCarragher has been receiving backlash from some fans for his placing of Salah, while the timing of the video has also been criticized, having come out just a couple of days after Salah announced he would be leaving the club in the summer.Some supporters have accused the former defender of showing a bias against Salah, which he has denied.

The pair have clashed at various points during the winger’s time at the club, with Salah having called Carragher out during his outburst against the club back in December.Despite Carragher’s defense of his rankings, one supporter went on to share a video of him in which he seemed to previously suggest that Salah was among Liverpool’s top five players of all time.In a clip from Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, Carragher is seen saying: “I said he’s in the top five players to ever play for Liverpool.Carragher placed Mohamed Salah at number six on his list of Liverpool's greatest ever players(Image: Alex Pantling - UEFA, UEFA via Getty Images)“I think if he takes Liverpool to a league title and he ends up with the PFA, Premier League player of the season - which if he wins it, will be the third time he’s won it, which has never happened before, no one’s ever won that three times - if he does that, he’s not in the top five, he’s basically fighting with Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard.“It’s a fight to see who is probably Liverpool’s greatest ever player. If he can add that to what he’s already done at Liverpool, he sort of leaves an Ian Rush or Graeme Souness behind and joins those two.”The clip has been gaining some traction among supporters on social media, leading one fan to tell Carragher to “defend yourself” after accusing him of hypocrisy.In response, Carragher said: “I changed my mind 12 months later as I think MO [sic] this season didn’t show enough off the pitch, I don’t really care about on the pitch as it’s his first average season.

If that’s a sign of things to come after Salah’s departure, this is going to be so tedious.
