Mo Salah IGNITES feud with Jamie Carragher after SELFISH jibe

Mo Salah put on a player of the match performance against Manchester City on Sunday, less than a week after he stirred up criticism for speaking to the press about Liverpool not yet offering him a new contract.

The most notorious of this criticism came from club legend Jamie Carragher, who referred to the Egyptian as "selfish" on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

But, in being presented the player of the match award after the Manchester City game live on Sky Sports, Virgil van Dijk quipped: "I'm surprised Carra didn't give it to you," after hearing it was Gary Neville who gave Salah the award.

"He wouldn't give it to me!" Salah joked back.

And on cutting back to the Sky studio, when pressed about it, Carragher replied: "I'll see him in the car park!"

The comments all came a bit tongue in cheek, although Salah did appear a bit sheepish as he said it. Either way, it's interesting to know that the Egyptian is very aware of what is being said about him, and continuing to prove the doubters wrong.

Salah: 'My last game against City'

The comments came after a legitimate question about whether Salah was considering that this could be his last game in the now-infamous Manchester City rivalry at Anfield.

He had to correct himself as he started to say: “I was thinking it’s the last City game at Anfield for Liverpool”, adding "up until now" beforehand, clearly showing that a contract could be signed.

But the fact that nothing is on the cards at current - and leaving the club at the end of the season is a realistic possibility - is clearly weighing on his mind.

It clearly didn't affect his performance however, with a truly sublime assist to go alongside with his decisive burying of a penalty as Liverpool went 11 points clear of Manchester City in the Premier League.

Salah was truly unplayable on the day and, despite missing a one-on-one, it would have been a different game without him on the pitch.

Liverpool really need to remember that when it comes to planning for their future. Any and all replacements need to be able to win games against Manchester City above anything else.
