Jamie Carragher has labeled Mohamed Salah "selfish" for criticizing Liverpool's style of play on social media. The departing Egypt international called for a return to the club's "heavy metal" brand of football after their 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa. Salah's comments came as Liverpool fight to secure Champions League qualification, sitting fifth in the Premier League table.

Carragher reignited his war of words with Salah, suggesting the forward has dropped "another bomb" similar to Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United exit. The former Liverpool defender criticized the timing of Salah's remarks, insisting the focus should be on Liverpool FC rather than Salah FC. His comments follow Salah's earlier claims that he felt "thrown under the bus" by the club after a 3-3 draw with Leeds.

Salah emphasized that the club's attacking identity "cannot be negotiable" and that all new players should adapt to it. His final appearance for Liverpool comes against Brentford at Anfield this weekend. Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney suggested Slot should drop Salah for this final game as a result of his critical remarks, adding tension to the player's farewell.
