'Idiot', 'You're wrong' - Arsenal fans rage at Jaime Carragher after what he's just said

Arsenal fans are fuming with Jamie Carragher after his “ridiculous” prediction on their title chances this season.

The Sky Sports pundit acknowledged that the Gunners’ defence has improved from their runners-up finish last season, but claimed their individual attacking play has been “average“.

Mikel Arteta’s side sit at the top of the Premier League table after an 89th-minute winner from Kai Havertz clinched them a 1-0 victory at Brentford on Saturday (25 November).

Nethertheless, Carragher remains unconvinced with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus and foresaw that if they play with their existing “fluidity” for the rest of the season, they can wave goodbye to their title hopes.

Arsenal fans have not met his prediction lightly and have taken to social media to poke holes in Carragher’s “rubbish”.

This supporter simply palmed off Carragher’s insight as “whining”.

Other fans chose to question his authority considering his own lack of Premier League trophies.

One fan broke down Carra’s argument thoroughly and pointed to the Gunners’ exceptional track record against fellow title chasers.

One was let down that Arsenal’s exceptional form has seen little praise.

This fan expects the former Liverpool captain to be eating his words at the end of the season.

Another couldn’t help but see the funny side of Carragher’s “waffling” as the stats he used to back his argument just revealed the team’s improvement.

This Gunner took it personally and now has extra motivation to beat Carragher’s old club.

In other news, Arsenal make decision to sign marquee star – but deal could wait until summer.
