ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY On Saturday, the Egyptian took to X and Instagram to bemoan the Reds’ results and style of play this season under the beleaguered head coach, with his actions prompting strong condemnation from some pundits .
Several of his teammates seemed to show solidarity with the 33-year-old by liking or commenting on the post, with Curtis Jones replying on Instagram with a clapping emoji. Carragher calls out Jones over emoji response to Salah That particular interaction struck a nerve with Carragher, who quipped that the midfielder is part of the reason why Liverpool haven’t played the ‘heavy metal attacking’ football that Salah craves. The Sky Sports pundit said on the latest episode of Stick to Football : “I think Curtis Jones commented on it, didn’t he?
He put like a clapping emoji. I thought that was a bit strange. I thought ‘Jesus, this is why we don’t play heavy metal football because of players a little bit like Curtis Jones in the squad’.
“He takes six touches on the ball before he passes it. I thought, ‘Steady on, son; stay out of that one! Let Salah do whatever he wants to do.
He’s leaving in a week’. ” (Photo by Matt McNulty/Getty Images) On Liverpool players liking Salah’s social media posts, Carragher said: “I’m not too bothered really, and maybe they all look up to Salah, you can imagine that. He’s a big figure in the dressing room, a world-class player… I think it was daft for them to do, but I’m not overly fussed by that, to be honest.
