Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has launched a passionate defence of Mohamed Salah, criticising Jamie Carragher and other Liverpool legends for what he believes is a lack of respect towards the Liverpool forward.
Evra did not hold back, saying he is baffled by how Salah is treated despite everything he has achieved at Liverpool F.C..
According to Evra, Salah has won everything for Liverpool and should be universally celebrated by former players and club legends, not constantly compared, criticised, or downplayed on television.
“He Has Won Them Everything”
Evra’s main point was simple — Salah has delivered trophies, records, and unforgettable moments for Liverpool, yet still seems to have to defend his legacy.
He suggested that instead of Liverpool legends constantly debating where Salah ranks or criticising parts of his game, they should be publicly supporting and celebrating one of the greatest players in the club’s history.
Evra even went as far as saying Salah has been forced to remind people of his achievements himself, referencing social media posts where Salah has shown his trophies, records and statistics.
The suggestion being that a player of his level should never have to do that — the respect should already be there.
Comparison With Arsenal Legends
Evra also compared the situation to Arsenal F.C., pointing out how former players like Ian Wright and Thierry Henry publicly support and defend modern Arsenal stars such as Bukayo Saka.
His argument was that big clubs should protect their modern stars and help build their legacy, not constantly question it.
The Salah Legacy Debate
The bigger conversation here is where Mohamed Salah ranks in Liverpool’s all-time history. Statistically and in terms of trophies, he is already in the conversation with the very greatest to ever play for the club.
League titles, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Golden Boots, record-breaking goal numbers — Salah’s achievements speak for themselves.
Yet for some reason, the debate around his legacy never seems to stop.
Final Thoughts
Evra’s comments will divide opinion, but they highlight something that has become a regular debate among fans — why does Mohamed Salah still seem to have to prove himself?
When his time at Liverpool eventually comes to an end, there is little doubt he will leave as one of the greatest players in the club’s history. The only question is whether he will get the full appreciation he deserves while he is still there, rather than after he has gone.
