Liverpool fans turn on Jamie Carragher, want him Out

Jamie Carragher’s passionate commentary style has once again ignited a firestorm, with fans calling for the Liverpool legend to step away from covering his former club’s matches.

The controversy erupted during Liverpool’s thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Southampton at St. Mary’s on Sunday. While Dominik Szoboszlai’s opener and Mo Salah’s second-half brace stole the headlines on the pitch, it was Carragher’s reaction in the commentary box that got social media buzzing.

When Ryan Gravenberch skillfully averted danger in midfield, Carragher couldn’t contain his excitement, exclaiming, “Brilliant Gravenberch, brilliant son!”

The seemingly innocent comment struck a sour note with viewers, who accused the former Reds defender of crossing the line from analyst to cheerleader.

Fans took to social media to vent their frustrations. “Why is Carragher on Liverpool games? The guy really just cheered Gravenberch live on commentary,” one user fumed. Another sarcastically remarked, “Am I watching LFCTV or Sky Sports?”

This isn’t the first time Carragher’s Liverpool allegiance has drawn criticism. Known for his emotional outbursts during matches, including calling Mo Salah a “little dancer” and visibly celebrating goals alongside rival-turned-colleague Gary Neville, his bias has often been a talking point.

While Carragher’s critics demand neutrality, his supporters argue that his passion brings authenticity to broadcasts. After all, his 17-year career with Liverpool solidified his status as a club icon, making it nearly impossible to separate the pundit from the fan.

As Liverpool gear up for back-to-back showdowns with Real Madrid in the Champions League and Manchester City in the Premier League, the debate continues: Should Carragher tone down his emotional commentary, or does his raw enthusiasm add flavor to the viewing experience?

One thing’s for sure—when Carragher is behind the mic, fans know they’re in for a colorful ride.
