Jamie Carragher has launched a scathing attack on Mohamed Salah, branding the Egyptian forward's weekend outburst as "a disgrace" during Monday Night Football on Sky Sports.
The Liverpool legend accused Salah of deliberately timing his explosive post-match comments to inflict maximum harm on the club following their 3-3 draw at Leeds.
"I thought it was a disgrace what he did after the game," Carragher declared. "Some people have painted it as an emotional outburst, I do not think it was."
The pundit insisted Salah's interview was far from spontaneous, suggesting it was carefully orchestrated.

"I think whenever Mo Salah stops in a mixed zone, it is choreographed by him and his agent to cause maximum damage," he said.
Carragher believes Salah specifically waited for Liverpool to concede a late equaliser before targeting manager Arne Slot, potentially attempting to engineer his dismissal.
Salah's remarkable tirade came after he was left on the bench for the entire 90 minutes at Elland Road, marking the third consecutive match where he has been restricted to minimal involvement.
"I could not believe I was sitting on the bench for 90 minutes," Salah stated. "That's the third time. It's the first time in my career I think."
The 33-year-old expressed profound disappointment, claiming the club had abandoned him despite his contributions.

"It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That's how I feel," he said.
Liverpool have responded by omitting Salah from their travelling party for Tuesday's Champions League fixture against Inter Milan in Italy.
The Egyptian trained at the AXA Training Centre on both Sunday and Monday but will not make the journey to the San Siro.
Salah's situation has attracted attention from potential suitors in Saudi Arabia, the United States, and across Europe, despite signing a lucrative two-year contract extension running until 2027 earlier this campaign.
During a 10-minute rant on live TV, Carragher did not hold back after Salah namechecked the Liverpool legend during his bombshell interview.
"The line that stands out for me is 'thrown under the bus'," Carragher continued.
"He's tried to throw the club under the bus twice in the last 12 months with the situations just mentioned.
"Going after the owners initially, and these are owners who have been paying him hundreds of thousands of pounds for six years, he's complained a year ago because they hadn't given him a new contract at the age of 32. The club are more than entitled to do that.

"With the manager right now, Salah should be doing as much as he can now to try and help the club get out of the worst run of results they've had since the 1950s, and he hasn't done that.
"But when I've thought about it over the weekend and I've put myself in Salah's position or how I was as a player, I'm not Mo Salah. Salah is a player, who is famous all around the world, and should those players be treated differently?
"I think they should. When you think of the players in that bracket over the last eight years, Messi, Ronaldo and Mbappe. I wouldn't put Salah alongside them but he's very close for what he's done for Liverpool.
"He's a legendary figure and all those players get a privilege. Exactly the same one as Salah gets at Liverpool and that's he doesn't have to defend. he doesn't have to chase back.

"But we accept it because we are a superstar and he's scored 250 goals, and he's given me as a Liverpool supporter some of the greatest nights of my life watching him and what he's done."
