Angry Jamie Carragher issues 'some cranks' response to fan who accused him of leaving Mohamed Salah out of his all-time Liverpool & Everton combined XI

Ahead of Liverpool facing Everton at Goodison Park this weekend, Reds legend Carragher was asked how many Everton players would make his all-time Merseyside starting XI for The Telegraph. The ex-defender said Alan Ball, Ray Wilson, and Neville Southall would make it in for the Toffees but didn't put which Liverpool players would be in there. After a fan claimed he was "downgrading" Salah, Carragher hit back on social media.

After one fan wrote, "So again he’s downgrading Salah’s achievements as Alan Ball plays on the right……….."

To which Carragher replied on X: "Salah is in……some cranks on here!!"

The anger likely stemmed from Carragher calling Salah "selfish" for publicly expressing his disappointment at Liverpool allegedly not offering him a new deal. The Egyptian is out of contract next summer and for the time being, he is set to leave at the end of the campaign. But Carragher has said the 32-year-old is in Liverpool's top five players to ever wear the shirt.

The two Merseyside rivals will lock horns with one another in Saturday's early Premier League kick-off at Goodison Park, as table-topping Liverpool seek to extend their lead at the summit of the division.
