Mohamed Salah has been criticised by Jamie Carragher for not speaking to the media following Liverpool's 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The former Liverpool player turned pundit believes the Egyptian should take more responsibility, noting that he spoke last season about his contract before signing a new one last April.
Instead, Virgil van Dijk faced media scrutiny, outlining the dire situation the club find itself in.
Liverpool have won just three of their last 11 games across all competitions, putting Arne Slot's job in question.
Carragher said: "After the Forest game, Virgil van Dijk has come out and spoken, as he should do as the captain.
"On the back of all these Liverpool defeats, it’s always Van Dijk who comes out and speaks.
"The captain should do that but there should be other players in that dressing room and speaking for the club.
"A year ago this weekend, Mo Salah wasn’t shy in speaking about his own situation and the club not offering him a contract.

He added: "I only ever hear Salah speak when he gets man of the match or when he needs a new contract.
"I would like to see Salah as one of the leaders and legends of Liverpool come out and speak for the team."
The Egyptian forward has seen a significant drop in form this season, having scored just four goals and assisting two in 12 league games.
It comes after a 24/25 campaign where Salah won the Premier League’s Golden Boot and was a key contributor to the title-winning side.

The defeat to Forest equalled Liverpool’s biggest loss at Anfield during the Premier League era.
They have now fallen 11 points behind league leaders Arsenal, putting pressure on Slot.
Carragher argued that the Dutchman should remain in his job after delivering the title last season.
Speaking on the Sky Sports Monday Night Football show, he explained: "No, not in mind at any time through this season. But I must say, some of the people I spoke to after the Forest game – fans, friends, family – and how they spoke about Slot shocked me a little bit.
Carragher added: "There is huge respect for what he did last season. To win the title in your first season is pretty special.
"But I have the feeling that he doesn’t have the unconditional love and support that Jürgen Klopp always had.
"Klopp had ropey times. At one stage, he lost six games in a row at Anfield. But at no stage did l feel that we were speaking about Jürgen Klopp’s position in the way people have been speaking about Arne Slot’s position over the weekend.
"For me, there should be no thought and no talk about this manager being out of a job this season."
