Carragher replied: “I actually quite like this, if Twitter was about when I was a player I’m sure I would’ve called pundits out quite a lot!!”

Richarlison also greeted the rest of Sky Sport’s punditry team.
Carragher quipped: “To be fair, I’m just glad he never blanked me!”
The Liverpool icon is, of course, referring to the moment he was awkwardly snubbed by Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Carragher was snubbed by Ronaldo for a handshake.
But Ronaldo made sure to greet Man Utd legends Roy Keane and Gary Neville ahead of last Monday’s 2-1 win over rivals Liverpool.
