I'd love Carragher to have some Neville-like club bias in him. When Naby goes looking for a penalty last night, Carragher is quick to call it a dive and suggests the referee might go back and give him a yellow. That kind of shit sticks with people watching, even referees. What he could've said is that there was contact but it's not a penalty and leave it at that.
Then to emphatically say Hazard is the best player in the league - what a load of bollocks.
This is why it is important to call this type of shite out or at least be aware of what's going on. I know there's a few on here that are fond of telling everyone what to think about pundits and media, but this type of inbalanced soundbite has a pernicious effect and leads to narratives that as you say stick. Suarez and diving, Karius, following Neville's attack, Rafa and zonal etc.
I and I'm sure many can and do ignore it on a personal level, but shit sticks. I remember working in Manchester when Rafa was the boss, the amount of times people told me that they didn't like our manager was amazing - this was pre money City fans by the way.
I'm really disappointed in some of the crap that Carragher spouts. Doesn't strike me as the most thoughtful of individuals.
