Steven Gerrard aims a dirty dig at Jamie Carragher following Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool farewell

Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard made a brutal comment to former team-mate Jamie Carragher following Jurgen Klopp’s final game in charge.

The German bid farewell to the Reds faithful after nine successful years in Sunday’s visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers to Anfield. It was a winning end to Klopp’s spell in the Anfield dugout, becoming the first permanent manager since Matt McQueen in 1928 to win their last game in charge.

Alexis Mac Allister and Jarell Quansah were on target as their two first-half goals were enough to see Gary O’Neil’s 10 men down. Nelson Semedo was shown a red card by VAR after a reckless challenge on the Argentine minutes before the deadlock was to be broken.

Among the tearful reactions from captain Virgil van Dijk and vice-skipper Trent Alexander-Arnold, there were plenty of messages from Reds players past and present. Jamie Carragher, who was in L4 for Sky Sports’ coverage of the match, posted a picture on Instagram of Klopp and the former defender sharing a hug.

“Thanks for the memories @kloppo (red heart emoji),” Carragher captioned, tagging Klopp’s new social media account.

While the post attracted messages of gratitude for the former Mainz and Borussia Dortmund coach, it was a comment from former captain Gerrard that sparked a backlash.

Of Carragher’s baggy trousers, the Al-Ettifaq boss commented: “You don’t huddle in them James like you did in our room (poo emoji).”

In what was an emotional send-off for the Champions League and Premier League winning manager, Klopp addressed the sold-out Anfield crowd and offered a new song for future successor Arne Slot. As the game drew to a close, Liverpool fans erupted into an endless rendition of Klopp’s song, adapted from the Beatles classic ‘I Feel Fine’.
