Lynch criticized the criticism, stating the backlash was "blown out of proportion." He argued that placing Salah sixth is not offensive, especially considering Liverpool's status as the most successful club in English history.
Defending Carragher's credentials, Lynch pointed to his status as Liverpool's second top appearance maker and a European Cup winner. Despite the debate, Lynch acknowledged that there is a "cigarette paper" between elite players, reinforcing that Salah’s legacy remains unquestioned regardless of where he ranks historically.
