The celebrations were all the more hilarious given Carragher was wearing a Man United shirtYouTube Carragher was every Liverpool fan during the topsy-turvy clashYouTube “So they’re still in talks, maybe… I’m desperate for them to meet in the middle. “But I must say, I am very disappointed with Mo Salah.” But just over a week later, Carragher has totally changed his tune. As Salah netted Newcastle’s third to put his side in front, Carragher took his celebrations to another level. This time he clambered over Neville’s shoulder, rolling over onto the floor. “GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS!” he screamed as the others cracked up laughing. SALAH IS HIM! Liverpool lead for the first time – and what a goal it is #PLonPrime #NEWLIV pic.twitter.com/MdXDmOp3XV— Amazon Prime Video Sport (@primevideosport) December 4, 2024 Asked if he regrets calling him selfish, Carragher said: “He was thinking about himself, do it behind the scenes. “It’s like an argument with your Mrs, put on a united front and sort it behind closed doors.” He added with a smile: “Micah Richards just text me saying give him what he wants.” Unfortunately for Carragher and Liverpool, Newcastle came back and equalised to make it 3-3 through Fabian Schar after Reds goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher misjudged the flight of the ball. The result meant the Reds remained top of the Premier League table though, sitting seven points clear. Chelsea and Arsenal are the main players in the chasing pack at the moment, with Manchester City finally ending their losing streak. Salah is truly on another level this year Salah’s form has made a huge difference to Slot’s side this season and he’s now scored in seven straight top-flight games. It puts him four away from breaking Jamie Vardy‘s consecutive goal record (11), and he can equal it against Vardy and Leicester if he keeps it up. There has still been no update on his contract situation at Liverpool, but surely the Reds have to act when he’s playing at such a high level. Rumours around a free move to Paris Saint-Germain have risen in the last few days, however, their club president has denied any talks.
