Jamie Carragher explains why Mohamed Salah is ‘underappreciated’ by Liverpool fans

Jamie Carragher insists Mo Salah is underappreciated by Liverpool fans and hailed the Egyptian forward as one of six world class players at Jurgen Klopp’s disposal.

The 27-year-old has 19 goals and nine assists in all competitions this season, off the back of 27 goals and 12 assists last term.

Carragher believes his dip in performances have seen him taken for granted this term as the Reds close in on the Premier League title with just four wins needed in the final 11 games.

“I think Mo Salah is seen as world class by those on the outside but with Liverpool fans I think he is a little bit underappreciated,” Carragher told Monday Night Football.

“Certainly going from that first season to what he is doing now, there has been a bit of a dip. But he was never going to score another 47 goals in a season.

“Speaking to Liverpool fans and looking at social media, I think Liverpool have got six world-class players. I think they have the goalkeeper, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Salah.

“I think if you asked Liverpool fans whether they would take big money for the other five, they would all say no, no matter what the money.

“There is no way they would sell Alisson or Van Dijk. But if you offered them £130m for Salah, they would think about it. That is why I say he is underappreciated.”
