The Scouser was at it again on Sunday, and after some online Liverpool fans felt he had delivered some unnecessary comments about Wirtz’s goal against Palace and called him out on social media, Carragher came out all guns blazing.Liverpool bounce back with an impressive 3-1 win over Palace! Asked to comment on the 23-year-old’s goal on Sky Sports after the game, he suggested that Wirtz had got lucky with his slightly mis-hit finish.

X account ‘The Anfield Talk’ disagreed, posting: “Carragher once again doing his best to downplay our own players,” after listening to the former centre-back’s post-match analysis. Not usually one to back down, Carragher soon hit back, accusing ‘E-reds’ of continually taking his quotes out of context to further their own agendas and drive engagement among online supporters.“Not at all, Wirtz had a bit of luck with his goal & was unlucky a few weeks back,” he wrote.

And don’t just play to the gallery for likes & retweets.” Asked whether the same would apply to Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer – two opposition players who Carragher has regularly praised – the Scouser again stood by his comments, calling out ‘cranks’ within the Liverpool fanbase who take him to task over his opinions. “His [Wirtz’s] goal was to lucky as he hit it on to his left with his right,” he said.
