For Jamie Carragher, Mohamed Salah must no longer play every match with Liverpool.

Like his team Liverpool, which has just suffered a fourth loss in a row this weekend during the England derby against Manchester United (1-2), Mohamed Salah is going through a complicated period. Indeed, the 33-year-old Egyptian striker has not found the net for more than a month.

Once again disappointing against the Red Devils, the Pharaoh was replaced in the 86the minute of play by Jeremie Frimpong. A change completely validated by Jamie Carragher, who believes that Salah should no longer be considered an indisputable holder.

It's a real headache for the coach (Arne Slot), and we'll see what he does. It's interesting that he replaced him (against Manchester United). Jürgen Klopp used to take him out a lot. This shows that, already in the past, Mo Salah could have a bad match and be replaced, even if he still had a little energy and liveliness. We have reached a stage with Mo Salah where he should no longer play every match », Launched the former Reds defender on Sky Sports.

“Maybe we need to think differently”

And to add: “ It should no longer be a question of “this is the first name on the scoresheet”. He's still part of your typical team, he plays home matches, but maybe we need to think differently. If Liverpool have two away games, one in Europe and one at Brentford, I don't think they need to play both. »

Since the start of the season, Mohamed Salah has only scored three goals and as many assists in 11 matches played (all competitions combined).
