Speaking on the Sky Sports Essential Football Podcast, Jamie Carragher has been discussing Mohamed Salah ahead of Liverpool’s game against Manchester City.
Salah has been the Reds’ best player over the past five years. He’s won three Golden Boot awards and has been one of the most consistent footballers in the Premier League.
However, unfortunately, the Reds’ star man hasn’t been at the races this season. He has just two Premier League goals to his name and is coming in for plenty of criticism.
A few fans and pundits have turned on Salah, but Carragher is sticking by the Egyptian, stating that he has absolutely no problem with the player.
Carragher on Salah
The pundit gave his view on the winger.
“I’ve got no problem with Mo Salah right now, a lot of people are looking at his actual position, is he getting in enough goalscoring positions? So it will be interesting to see if his role changes. I don’t think Klopp has changed his role, but he’s not getting in as many dangerous positions. People are questioning Mo Salah because he’s set those standards, but when you look at Haaland now, that’s what Salah was doing in his first season,” Carragher said.
It will come
Salah is going through a tough time right now, but he’s proven his quality for long enough that we’re confident he’ll turn things around.
He’s had these sort of goal droughts before, and every single time he’s bounced back strongly.
Salah’s hat-trick against Rangers showed just how much quality he has, and it’s surely just a matter of time before he’s finding the back of the net in the Premier League again.
Don’t be shocked if Salah is the decisive factor in the game against City this weekend.
