Jamie Carragher has been accused of double standards(Image: Getty Images)

Jamie Carragher has been left red-faced after old comments he made about Anthony Gordon's Everton exit resurfaced - comments that appear to contradict his stance on Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Anfield legend recently defended Liverpool fans upset over Alexander-Arnold's decision to leave the club at the end of the season, insisting that only those with "an affiliation" to the Reds have the right to judge their reaction.

But others were quick to call out the apparent double standard, digging up his 2024 criticism of Everton for mocking Gordon, who'd left Goodison Park for Newcastle a year earlier.



Is it one rule for Liverpool and another for everyone else in his mind?"

Another called him a "massive hypocrite", while a third joked: "Local lad who came through your academy, helped you win every trophy available, done everything and wanted to try something new at the biggest club on the planet booed coming on to the pitch and booed upon every touch he makes at Anfield.

You'll Never Walk Alone!"

Following Alexander-Arnold's exit announcement last week, Carragher launched an impassioned rant about how neutral and rival supporters had no right to "tell Liverpool fans how to feel" following an explosive and emotional reaction to the news in the red half of Merseyside.

"I'm sick all day of reading about journalists, or other people who have got no affiliation to Liverpool, telling Liverpool supporters how they should feel," he said on Sky Sports.

But Liverpool supporters can also feel how they want about the situation."

That emotion was on full display as Alexander-Arnold made his first appearance since announcing his departure, during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Anfield.

As he entered the fray midway through the second half, a chorus of boos rang out around the ground, much to the astonishment of Carragher.

"I'm surprised how many [fans booed him]," the 47-year-old said on Sky Sports after the game.

I think you can expect frustration but I think the best thing Liverpool supporters can do if Trent Alexander-Arnold does play another game for Liverpool, which I think that is up in the air.
