Jamie Carragher has reportedly urged Mohamed Salah to take Virgil van Dijk’s lead and address Liverpool’s poor performance.
Van Dijk said that Liverpool are in a “mess” following Saturday’s 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield, as they have lost six of their previous seven Premier League games.
While Van Dijk called on his teammates to be “angry,” branding their performances “unacceptable,” Carragher claimed that other players in the changing room must exhibit the same urgency,
The former Liverpool defender asked Salah to publicly demand more from his teammates, asking why the forward isn’t doing interviews now when he was willing to do so last season as he demanded a new deal.

Carragher Wants More Liverpool Players To Come Out And Address Their Dismal Display
“I must say on the back of all these Liverpool defeats, it’s always Virgil van Dijk who comes out,” Carragher said on Sky Sports as cited by Belfast Telegraph.
“The captain should do that but there should be other players in that dressing room coming out and speaking for the club.
“A year ago, Mo Salah wasn’t shy in coming out and speaking about his own situation, about the club not offering him a contract.
“I only ever hear Salah speak when he gets man of the match or he needs a new contract.
“I’d like to see Mo Salah come out as one of the leaders, one of the legends of Liverpool, come out and speak for the team. It shouldn’t always be the captain.”
