Fans want Jamie Carragher ‘removed from Liverpool games’ after hearing what he said during Southampton game

Jamie Carragher was on co-commentary for Liverpool's comeback win over Southampton at St Mary's.

Jamie Carragher has faced calls to stop commentating on Liverpool games after Sky Sports viewers heard what he said in the Reds' win over Southampton on Sunday.

Arne Slot's side came from behind to beat the Premier League's bottom club and m-ove eight points clear of Manchester City, with Mo Salah striking twice in the second half to complete the turnaround.

After Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring, Southampton found the net through Adam Armstrong and Mateus Fernandes but ultimately could not hold on to their lead against their league leaders.

Carragher was on-commentary at St Mary's for the clash but those watching and listening to his analysis took issue with one particular moment. When Ryan Gravenberch got Liverpool out of trouble in midfield, the Liverpool legend appeared to almost celebrate, saying, "Brilliant Gravenberch, brilliant son!".

But the comment struck a nerve with plenty of viewers, who feel as though the England international should be removed from commentating on Liverpool games over what they perceive to be a lack of impartiality.

One commented: "Why is Carragher on Liverpool games, the guy really just cheered Gravenberch live on commentary."

A second fumed: Carragher calling gravenberch 'son'. Am I watching f***ing LFCTV."

A third added: "Having Carragher on commentary is."

Another wrote: "Meant to be a commentator. Embarrassing."

A fifth said: "Go on Gravenberch my son says Jamie Carragher, unbiased commentary? I don't know why we have to suffer."

A final user stated: "Did I just hear right? Carragher on commentary, 'Brilliant Gravenberch son', unbelievable bias."

Carragher spent his entire 17-year career with Liverpool before signing with Sky and later doing punditry on a light-hearted basis with US broadcaster CBS Sports on their Champions League coverage.

He has never hid his affinity for Liverpool and once called Mo Salah a "little dancer" when he scored against Manchester United. Sky's commentary cams have shown him to never shirk away from celebrating goals in the gantry, particularly when alongside Gary Neville.

Liverpool are back in action on Wednesday when they host Real Madrid in the Champions League, before a huge clash with struggling champions City on Sunday.
