Comments come after Liverpool lost sixth game in seven league matches
Jamie Carragher has said Mohamed Salah must take greater responsibility in front of the media, amid Liverpool’s dreadful run of form.
The champions’ 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday was their sixth league loss in seven matches and it left them 11th in the table. It is the first time since 2011 that Liverpool have fallen into the bottom half at this stage of a season.
Virgil van Dijk has regularly spoken to the media after losses as the captain, but Carragher believes others senior players should step up.
“After the Forest game, Virgil van Dijk has come out and spoken, as he should do as the captain,” Carragher said.
“On the back of all these Liverpool defeats, it’s always Van Dijk who comes out and speaks. The captain should do that but there should be other players in that dressing room and speaking for the club.
“A year ago this weekend, Mo Salah wasn’t shy in speaking about his own situation and the club not offering him a contract.
“I only ever hear Salah speak when he gets man of the match or when he needs a new contract. I would like to see Salah as one of the leaders and legends of Liverpool come out and speak for the team.”
