Jamie Carragher missed the point on Chelsea three times during Tuchel and Abramovich outburst

Jamie Carragher ignited a further social media backlash after responding to the onslaught of criticism that he's faced from Chelsea fans. The former Liverpool defender was on the receiving end of a number of scathing comments from Blues after suggesting Manchester United raid the club for manager Thomas Tuchel.

This came in the wake of Roman Abramovich being sanctioned by the UK Government, freezing his assets - which included Chelsea - with immediate effect. Carragher insisted that Manchester United should exploit the world champions' impending financial crisis and labelled Blues fans as 'hypocritical' for their disbelief towards the prospect of other clubs replicating similar tactics to the ones used by Chelsea thanks to Abramovich's ownership.

While much of what the Sky Sports pundit said was fair, the 44-year-old's inaccurate claim regarding the integrity of Chelsea's academy completely undermines the incredible work that has been done at Cobham in recent years to bring players through the system. So the CareFreeChelsea team at football.london have taken a deep dive into every word Carragher said in his reply to Blues fans.
