Neville: The Gunners didn t win the championship because they lacked a striker! Carragher: Then you start to predict that they won the championship?

reported on May 12 that after Arsenal drew 2-2 with Liverpool away, Sky Sports commentators Gary Neville and Carragher had a fierce discussion on the previous predictions of the Premier League championship.

Gary Neville predicted that Arsenal would win the Premier League title this season before the start of the season, however, after Arsenal tied 2-2 with Liverpool, Neville accused Arsenal of failing to sign a striker as their failure to win the championship.

Carragher agrees that Arsenal needs a striker, but he accused Neville of hypocrisy and questioned: "Did you say that at the beginning of the season? Why did you predict that they would win the championship?"

Neville defended: "On August 15, there was still three weeks left in the transfer window. I thought they would sign a striker in January, but they didn't."

Carragher continued to retort: ​​"Who? Who are you talking about? You predicted Arsenal would win the championship, and now you say Arteta made a mistake on the striker."

Neville insisted on his point of view: " I think they should be there this season, and it has nothing to do with Liverpool. Liverpool has performed very well, and it is not a problem for Liverpool. "But Arsenal should be closer to the championship, but they didn't do it, they should have signed a striker during the transfer window last year, but they didn't do it. I've been saying it for two or three years, so it's not just saying it now, they should have a good striker."

Although Carragher has a deep affection for Liverpool, he doesn't think Slot can lead his old club to win this season, he thinks Liverpool will finish third and Manchester City will win the championship again. Neville predicts that Liverpool will rank fifth behind Manchester United.
