When asked about the selection, Carragher replied: "I love Firmino but I think he’s had better seasons, not scoring at Anfield in the Premier League didn’t help!
"When [Alisson has] played he’s been fantastic and I wouldn’t swap him for anyone in the world right now, but I think Sheff Utd have been that good this season they deserved [Henderson] in there!"
The Liverpool legend explained Salah made the cut due to impressive goal and assist statistics as well as choosing players based on position, resulting in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missing out behind the Egyptian.
Challenged by a supporter about the inclusion of Jordan Henderson, Carragher said: "He could get Player of the Year so he was always in my team!"
