Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has once again criticized Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, questioning his suitability as team captain due to his silence after a series of defeats that have plagued the reigning champion both domestically and in Europe. 'Why is it only Van Dijk who speaks? Are there no other leaders at Liverpool?' Carragher asked. He stated that he only hears Salah's voice when discussing his contract extension or after he is named man of the match. Salah stopped speaking to the media in November 2024, when he said he was 'more of a goner than a stayer' at the club. Carragher added: 'We saw Virgil van Dijk speak after the sixth defeat to Nottingham Forest, and that's natural because he's the captain. He described his team as 'chaotic'.
