Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has hit back at Rio Ferdinand for getting in a dig about his Mohamed Salah comments after the Reds beat Brighton.<\/p>\n
Salah hit out at Liverpool<\/a> last weekend for \u201cthrowing him under the bus\u201d as a scapegoat for their poor form after Arne Slot put him on the bench for three consecutive matches.<\/p>\n Slot and the Reds hierarchy made a joint decision to drop him from the squad for their 1-0 win over Inter Milan in their midweek Champions League match.<\/p>\n However, after talks with Slot on Friday, Salah was back in the Liverpool squad to face Brighton on Saturday and the Egpytian got an assist after coming off the bench in the first half, replacing an injured Joe Gomez.<\/p>\n Carragher was one of the most outspoken pundits about Salah\u2019s comments and branded them a \u201cdisgrace\u201d on Sky Sports on Monday night<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Liverpool legend added<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThe one line that stands out for me is \u2018thrown under the bus.\u2019 He\u2019s thrown the club under the bus twice in the last 12 months. With the manager right now, he should be doing as much as he can to help the club get out of the worst run they\u2019ve had since the 1950s and he hasn\u2019t done that.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Liverpool\u2019s best striker Ekitike proving Isak was a luxury signing as Salah returns vs Brighton<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWhen we are talking about throwing people under the bus, he\u2019s thrown every Liverpool right-back under the bus for the eight years. Can you imagine playing behind him for eight years? But we accept it because he\u2019s a superstar and he\u2019s scored 250 goals and he\u2019s given me as a Liverpool supporter some of the greatest nights of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou weren\u2019t a big star before you came to Liverpool, you haven\u2019t really won much for Egypt, no matter how big you are, you need help from your team-mates, your manager and fans, it\u2019s important that he remembers that. When he talks after Leeds, it\u2019s all about me, me, me.\u201d<\/p>\n In a dig at Carragher\u2019s comments, Ferdinand commented on a video of Salah being serenaded by the Kop at Anfield following their win against Brighton.<\/p>\n Ferdinand said:\u00a0\u2018Thoughts @Carra23? \u201cMo Salah\u201d being sung by the Kop.\u2019<\/p>\n But Carragher hit back at Ferdinand for claiming he is a \u201cman of the people\u201d while helping FIFA with their lavish World Cup draw earlier this month.<\/p>\n MORE ON LIVERPOOL ON F365 Carragher wrote on X: \u2018And rightly so, he was fantastic when he came on.
