Jamie Carragher appears to have accepted Rio Ferdinand 's explanation that his "small club mentality" jibe at Liverpool was a joke.
Ferdinand slammed the Reds for their defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday, which was a serious blow to their hopes of finishing in the top four. Philip Billing's first-half goal was enough to secure the three points for the Premier League strugglers.
The dismal defeat came less than a week after Jurgen Klopp's side smashed fierce rivals Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield. The Reds scored six second-half goals to claim a record win over Erik ten Hag's men, leaving Carragher delighted.
