Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher’s Premier League Predictions Leave Fans Baffled
The Premier League is back, and so are the expert predictions from Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. The former Manchester United and Liverpool stars, respectively, shared their thoughts on the upcoming season during Monday Night Football, and the reaction has been mixed to say the least.
The two pundits went their separate ways with their predictions, with Carragher backing Manchester City to win the title, and Neville opting for Arsenal to lift the trophy. However, it’s not just the winners that have raised eyebrows – their choices for the top four, top six, and even the impact signings of the season have left fans scratching their heads.
Carragher’s predictions have been met with some criticism, particularly his decision to include Aston Villa in the top six. "Neville writing off Villa again, as usual, I’m sure we will prove him wrong again," wrote one fan on social media. Another added, "Neville putting Villa not in top 6 because despite getting 4th while in Europe ahead of Spurs who didn’t have Europe but do now and you think will finish above us. Hmmm"
But it’s Neville’s predictions that have taken most of the flak. His decision to include Manchester United in the top four, ahead of Liverpool, has sparked debate. "Gary saying Man United have a better midfield depth than Liverpool is an absolute mental take, does he count Mainoo as 4 players or something? Probably doesn’t even include Casemiro either when discussing them," wrote one fan.
Neville’s choice of Dominic Solanke as the impact signing of the season has also been met with skepticism. "Pedro Neto impact signing… Chelsea not in the top 7 and Dominic Solanke impact signing but Tottenham finish lower than last season, make it make sense," wrote another fan.
So, what can we take away from these predictions? Well, for one, it’s clear that both Neville and Carragher are still learning the ropes when it comes to predicting the unpredictable world of Premier League football. But more importantly, it’s a reminder that football is a game of opinions, and everyone has their own take on what’s going to happen next season.
