Chelsea fans have slammed Jamie Carragher over his predictions for Chelsea's Champions League campaign.

The west London team found European success in the UEFA Conference League and followed that up with a win in the Club World Cup in the United States.

But that was not convincing enough to persuade Carragher that Chelsea would be able to follow that up with an exciting return to the Champions League.

"Hot take on Chelsea from me," Carragher said on The Overlap.

"I don’t think Chelsea will qualify out of the Champions League group stage."

That caused some consternation among the panel alongside Carragher.

"Without Chelsea in everything he says, he’s as dumb as his face looks.".

"Carragher has been crying about Chelsea ever since Zola embarrassed him on national television," said another.

A further user added: "At this point Carragher is using Chelsea to boost his numbers"

"That guy is just an attention seeker," said a social media user.

His comment about Chelsea, whether good or bad don’t matter to me."

It's not the first time that Carragher has prompted Chelsea ire ahead of the new season.

"When I look at Chelsea, I think about what you did in the Club World Cup – everyone wanted to win it,' he told The Overlap Fan Debate.
