Jamie Carragher says Gary Neville 'embarrassed us' after being verbally dismantled by a fellow pundit following his bold Arsenal claim.
Arsenal resume their Premier League campaign on Sunday when they face Ipswich Town, having booked their spot in the Champions League semi-finals.
The Gunners produced two fantastic displays at the Emirates then at the Bernabeu to dump Real Madrid out of the competition, winning their quarter-final tie 5-1 on aggregate.
But their league campaign has taken a hit following back-to-back draws against Everton and Brentford.

Mikel Arteta's side drew 1-1 at Goodison Park before dropping points at home to Brentford last weekend, where Yoane Wissa cancelled out Thomas Partey's strike.
Speaking after Arsenal's draw against Brentford, Neville pulled no punches in his assessment as he claimed Arteta's team have 'gone backwards'.
"I think they've gone backwards," he said on NBC Sports Soccer. "They've gone backwards, I think, from the start of the season, in terms of their recruitment. They never covered themselves for the likely injury to [Kai] Havertz, who's their only centre forward."
Robbie Mustoe, however, disagreed as he hit back at Neville's claim in extraordinary fashion.
On the It's Called Soccer podcast, Carragher shared his thoughts on Neville's appearance on American television as he slammed his fellow Sky Sports pundit.
Speaking to Rebecca Lowe, the Liverpool legend questioned: "Has Gary recovered?"
He then claimed Neville 'embarrassed us' and insists he got 'schooled' by Mustoe.
"I mean he got absolutely battered didn't he by Robbie Mustoe. I mean he absolutely destroyed him on air," he added.
"I didn't know if we'd even want him back on Sky. I mean he's gone over there and absolutely embarrassed us. He got absolutely schooled."
Carragher, who appeared to be speaking in jest, concluded: "He's gone over there to crack America, and he can't even crack Robbie Mustoe."
Carragher and Neville are set to return to our screens for Super Sunday, with Ipswich vs. Arsenal and Leicester City vs. Liverpool the two televised games.
