Jamie Carragher took issue with Mohamed Salah’s statement last Friday and has now also taken a swipe at Curtis Jones. Image Credits: Imago ImagesThe fall-out from Mohamed Salah’s incendiary statement following the defeat to Aston Villa is continuing into this week.Liverpool were already under scrutiny, with the forward urging the team to get back to the “heavy metal” attacking identity supporters expect and suggesting the current level was not good enough.Many saw it as underhanded attack on Arne Slot regarding the criticism of the playing style in 2025/26.Jamie Carragher’s first response was hardly subtle, as he said he was not surprised by the post, compared it to a Ronaldo-style “bomb,” and argued that the focus should be on “Liverpool FC, not Salah FC” during a crucial stage of the season.But now speaking on the Overlap, he has also critcised Curtis Jones – who replied to Salah’s social media post with a clapping emoji seemingly endorsing the message:“I think Curtis Jones commented on it didn’t he?
I thought Jesus, this is why we don’t play heavy metal football because of some players a little bit like Curtis Jones in the squad,” Carragher said.“He takes six touches on the ball before he passes it, I thought ‘steady on son, stay out of that one.’ Let Salah do whatever he wants to do. I’m not that too bothered really and maybe they all look up to Mo Salah… thought it was daft for all of them to do.”The former Liverpool defender added:“I said earlier in the season he’s trying to get the manager sacked.
This idea he’s doing it for Liverpool FC, he’s not, he’s just Salah FC who plays for Liverpool.”There has been calls for Arne Slot to drop Mohamed Salah for the final game of the season, despite the club already confirming goodbye mosaics for both the Egyptian and Andy Robertson at Anfield on Sunday.
