Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has hit back on the current title race.
Liverpool had a poor run of form in last one month. The Reds have almost lost the Premier League title to Man City after the shocking loss to Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Arsenal also lost to Aston Villa and it helped Man City to take the top spot in the top-flight.
In last 6 years, Man City secured Premier League title win five times and it was Liverpool who won the title in 2020. It was Jurgen Klopp’s final season with Liverpool and at one stage, they were chasing the treble.
According to the current trends, Liverpool and Arsenal have both “bottled” the title race. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has hit back.
Carragher wrote in his Telegraph column, “It is a crazy situation that Arsenal can suffer their first league defeat of 2024 in mid-April and it feels like the sky has fallen in on their title hopes.”
“That is more to do with City’s excellence and in anticipation of them winning all their games than any deep Arsenal shortcomings.
“I must also say this; if Arsenal and Liverpool are ‘bottling it’ in April and May, what does that tell us about Manchester United and Chelsea for the rest of the season?
“They are clubs which have made so many poor decisions they are nowhere near the required level, albeit Pochettino is in the process of trying to fix previous mistakes.”
