Jamie Carragher is paid millions by Sky Sports to be an “expert” pundit. Due to his role in the media, he has amassed 2.2m followers on Twitter.

The boyhood Everton fan turned Liverpool continually uses his platform with Sky to try and influence future decisions in favour of his own team.

During the Liverpool League Cup win, Carragher continually went in about how Arsenal line up for set pieces, and post game he RT’d fans comments on the matter.

Arsenal have been unbelievable at set pieces this season. It has been a huge weapon for us and with XX Premier League goals, we lead the charts.

By spreading misinformation and fake news, Carragher is trying to derail Arsenal. He is attempting to influence the way officials ref Arsenal at set pieces.

Against West Ham, we lined up with four players in an offside position. This is a common tactics used by many clubs, including Liverpool.

The idea is that defenders become distracted by those on the offside position and end up dropping deeper to cover them off.

Whilst the defence drop deeper, the players in an offside position usually step up, and by the time the ball is kicked they are all inside. This is what happened against West Ham (and an image that Carragher has not shared).

You can quite clearly see that by the time Declan Rice has taken the free kick, every Arsenal player is onside. They have also forced the West Ham players 10 yards deeper.

No offside was given as none existed. It is fairly simple.

So why is Jamie Carragher during to make out that Arsenal are officiated differently to Liverpool and others?

In that League Cup final, Endo was in an offside position when the ball was kicked. He then proceeded to hold the Chelsea defender who was best positioned to clear the ball ahead of Virgil van Dijk. It was the right decision

Was Endo in an offside position? YES. Did he interfere with play? YES.

The key difference for Arsenal is that when Rice kicks the ball, every player is in an onside position.

No you could debate whether all blocking, etc at set pieces should be blown up as a foul for either side. But this is a minefield and every team, including Liverpool, tries to block opponents runs either doing too much to giveaway a free kick.

The key difference this time is Endo got it wrong. He did not get himself onside before proceeding to block the Chelsea runner.

As a very good pundit (which Carragher is) and a defender who played over 750 games, he knows the laws of the game, and would have defended thousands of corners in his time.

He will know about blocking opponents runs, about how to stay onside, and about lining up with players who are offside before they get themselves onside when the ball is kicked. These are not new tactics. Carragher himself would have orchestrated them when playing.

The only reason I can see for Carragher trying to make Liverpool’s disallowed goal about Arsenal, and spreading misinformation about us, is because he wants to derail our title challenge.

I have no issue with a pundit providing a fair and balanced criticism – point out when decisions got for and against your team. But I do have an issue when Carragher cleary uses his influence to try and manipulate future refereeing decisions against a team rivalling his club for the title.

Sunday was like watching Scouse TV with the way Carragher screeched on. This was a few days after Sky announced price increases up to 20%. We do not pay for this shit and it is no surprise they are losing subscribers on a monthly basis.

Carragher gets spitting mad when he is angry. How a man who assaulted a 14-year-old got is allowed on TV is beyond me. It is time for Sky to tell him to shut up or go and join Keys and Gray in Dubai.
