<\/p>\nJamie Carragher has hit back at Pep Guardiola\u2019s comments following Man City\u2019s draw at the weekend <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jamie Carragher hit back at Pep Guardiola after the Manchester City manager took aim at the Sky Sports pundit after Manchester City\u2019s latest draw at the weekend.<\/p>\n
After the game, the treble-winning manager during a surprise six-minute breakdown of City\u2019s performance live on television, predicted a fourth successive title, and asked Sky Sports\u2019 pundits which of their broadcasters had won four Premier League titles in a row.<\/p>\n
Manchester City have been held to three successive draws, but Guardiola staunchly defended his players, while name-checking football pundits such as Carragher and Gary Neville.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have anything to say about the pundits. Maybe I\u2019m wrong but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s about complacency. I know the players, I know how they run. How we behave is extraordinary,\u201d the City boss said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe knows how difficult it is otherwise Gary Neville would\u2019ve won four Premier Leagues in the best period of Manchester United. But he didn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guardiola had words for Neville, Carragher and Richards after his side\u2019s third successive draw<\/p>\n
Guardiola added: \u201cJamie Carragher didn\u2019t win one (league title). Micah Richards didn\u2019t win four Premier Leagues in a row. Never, ever.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s never happened. There is more chance of if it not happening than happening. Just one Treble before us. It\u2019s so difficult to do it again and again. We don\u2019t have what others have, who haven\u2019t done it for many, many years.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was Neville who mentioned complacency, while Carragher\u2019s comments were largely concerned with the title race being more open this season, while former City player Richards said something \u201cisn\u2019t right\u201d at the Etihad.<\/p>\n
Carragher made his reply to Guardiola\u2019s comments on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying: \u201cI think I\u2019d probably won one if Liverpool were owned by a nation state, and pushed the rules so far that the PL (Premier League) charged us 115 times!<\/p>\n
\u201cI was actually praising Pep\u2019s team after the game on Sunday.\u201d Carragher followed the comment with a shrug and laughing-cry emojis.<\/p>\n
Guardiola also defended his City players\u2019 conduct after they surrounded referee Simon Hooper to protest when Erling Haaland was denied the chance to play advantage after being fouled, and the club has since been charged with failing to control their players over the incident.<\/p>\n
