Carragher says Christian Pulisic will never match Eden Hazard’s level at Chelsea

Premier League

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Christian Pulisic will never get to the same level as Eden Hazard at Chelsea. The United States international has endured an injury-hit campaign and has struggled to secure a regular role since Thomas Tuchel took over from Frank Lampard in January. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But Pulisic was handed a starting spot for the first leg of Chelsea’s Champions League game against Real Madrid on Tuesday and the player put his team ahead in the first half with an superb individual effort. Hazard, meanwhile, was Chelsea’s best player before he left Stamford Bridge to join Real Madrid in 2019. And Carragher feels that Pulisic will fall short of being able to replicate Hazard’s outstanding performances on a regular ba...

Carragher praises ‘brave’ Tuchel for his decision against Liverpool

Premier League

Jamie Carragher praised Thomas Tuchel for sticking to his brave game-plan after Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Liverpool and said his decision to start Timo Werner in place of Olivier Giroud paid dividends at Anfield. Chelsea secured the win thanks to Mason Mount’s sublime finish in the 42nd minute and the result ensured Tuchel’s unbeaten record since replacing Lampard remained intact ten matches into his reign. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Werner proved to be a threat all night and he looked to have opened the scoring in the first half only to have his goal disallowed for offside. On Chelsea’s impressive performance, Carragher told Sky Sports: ‘They looked a real top outfit, they really did. It was almost like a European team coming to Anfield. ‘I’ve playe...

Neville & Carragher react to ‘racist’ Cavani social media post amid investigation

Premier League

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher called on the governing bodies in English football to work together and provide an educational programme after Edinson Cavani’s ‘racist’ Instagram post.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But he deleted the post around three hours later and the Uruguayan forward released a statement ‘sincerely apologising’ for causing any offence.

‘He’s not a great player’ – Jamie Carragher attacks Paul Pogba

Premier League

Jamie Carragher believes Manchester United should cash in on Paul Pogba as the midfielder is not a great player. Pogba has shown glimpses of brilliance but has been inconsistent for Manchester United, and question marks have surrounded his future for the past few years at the club. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); “He’s possibly never done well in any position or tactical set up that different managers have had,” Carragher told Adrian Durham on Drivetime. “Would I pick him in the Manchester United team? No, I wouldn’t. He’s a huge name, he’s come for a huge transfer fee, but I don’t think he’s a great player. “People say he’s won the World Cup and I get that. But when he came in I thought he might have the impact like [Frank] Lampard at Chelsea, [Steven...

Carragher calls on Jurgen Klopp to drop Roberto Firmino for Diogo Jota

Premier League

Jamie Carragher says Roberto Firmino would not be his first choice Liverpool forward right now and the former Reds defender has called on Klopp to drop him for Diogo Jota. Much has been said of Firmino's struggles this campaign but Carragher feels his poor form, majorly at Anfield last season as they won their first League title in 30 years, was actually 'masked'. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Jota, has been outstanding and while Klopp played all four attackers - with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah included out wide - against City, Carragher says dropping Firmino is the best decision moving forward. 'Mane-Jota-Salah,' Carragher told talkSPORT, without hesitation, when asked about the attack he would choose if he was the Liverpool manager. 'Firmino isn'...

Jurgen Klopp clashes with Jamie Carragher over no Van Dijk replacement

Premier League

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has clashed with former player Jamie Carragher over their transfer business this summer window. The club legend questioned whether the club should have signed more defensive cover after Virgil van Dijk suffered a serious injury in the 2-2 draw against Everton on Saturday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); "Dejan Lovren went and they didn't replace him so they only have three centre backs and one of those, Joel Matip, is always injured," Carragher told Sky Sports on Monday.

Carragher hits out at Chelsea transfer policy and tells Lampard to get rid of Kepa

Premier League

Jamie Carragher has questioned Chelsea’s transfer policy after seeing their first half disappointing display in defence against Liverpool. The Reds went into a three-goal lead at Anfield as Naby Keita and Gini Wijnaldum benefited from poor Chelsea defending, while Trent Alexander-Arnold also got a goal, scoring a superb free-kick. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Chelsea have already signed Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, while they are also close to the signing of Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Kai Havertz. But Carragher believes those additions will not take Frank Lampard that far if they persist with error prone keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and fail to add a commanding centre-back the summer window opens. He told Sky Sports: ‘Chelsea won’t go no ...

Carragher tells United to sign a world-class player to replace Anthony Martial

Premier League

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has persuaded Manchester United to sign a ‘world-class player’ to replace Anthony Martial, who he believes cannot lead the club to a Premier League title. The Red devils have been on a good run since the campaign return and they defeated Aston Villa on Thursday to ensure they are still in the fight for next season's champions League. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Anthony Martial has endured a mixed spell at United after his £36m transfer from Monaco in 2015, scoring 68 goals but also being out of the team at some point. Manchester United’s recent form has raised hope of a possible title challenge from Solskjaer’s team next campaign but Carragher doubts Martial can help them to the title and claims they must sign anothe...

Carragher reveals how Suarez bust-up saved Henderson’s Liverpool career

Premier League

Jamie Carragher believes Jordan Henderson’s bust-up with Luis Suarez in training was a key moment in his career and helped install the fight and character that has shown in his performances for the club in recent years. It is nine years to the day since Henderson joined Liverpool, though he endured a difficult start to his time at the club and was almost sold. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); When Gary Neville said Henderson didn’t seem to have the mettle required initially, Carragher said: ‘Yeah I know where you’re coming. ‘When he initially came in – and obviously I’d seen a little bit of him for Sunderland but not too much – I just remember early on he backed out of a couple of tackles at Anfield and right away the crowd were like, “No we’re not havin...
