Jamie Carragher & Gary Neville answer 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 questions! 👀

30 years of premier league football here's a couple that played for plenty of years in the premier league what was your iconic moment my one was actually working for skye on liverpool lifting the title after you know being so long i'd been there as a player liverpool missed out a couple of times after i'd stopped playing i owned a brendan rodgers once with jane club so for liverpool to finally sort of win the premier league to commentate on that you know just obviously wish the supporters were in there we knew the situation we were in at the time but to sort of still be a part of it if you like seeing liverpool lift our first premier league title was mine interesting on the aguero moment as well because you're obviously there quite famously where were you on that day i was playing for liverpool at swansea badly yeah again and we lost one nil but i just remember towards the end of the game the liverpool fans there's just noise going on you know just you thinking you're not sure if it's good or bad or what's going on [Laughter] celebrating when we lost the league tell us about your version of events of that day um i couldn't believe it i've never seen anything like it to be honest i know martin says that on his commentary and i was obviously looking at it from a point of view that was in the best place in the world to be united fan in that stadium and they'd thrown it away and then something happened i always say something just happened sometimes and i've never seen i've never seen anything like that it's not my favorite moment by any stretch of the imagination but in terms of the most iconic it has to be that i mean i was obviously there for the beckham freak uh the beckham halfway line which was a lot of the younger players we're talking about there as well obviously meant a lot to them the carrick are two on goals at the top end against united that was a big [Laughter] almost like i don't know i mean glamour came into football with george best in players in the 60s but then i just feel like gaza brought a bit but then when bex did that it almost felt like it went to another it just felt it went like that did it change everything for him that day it did it changed everything to be fair for him it changed everything in terms of the the exposure that even the club seemed to get at that time it was off the scale what that brought and uh he started going out with victoria just before that as well so it's just after that yeah what was it attracting you sorry i'm sure i'm sure it wasn't right we've been asking you for your questions as well this evening and um here's the first one hardest opponent to play against in your time in the premier league gary you take that hardest opponent i mean directly because of those battles for years against arsenal it would have to be over mars just for those battles for four or five years it was like a massive problem particularly old trafford massive pitch petite dropper i saw petite last week didn't we on uh arsenal crystal palace i just i just said to him he kept dropping that ball just drifting it over my head and he would just be darting were there some wingers that when it came to old trafford that you've that you sort of fancied yourself against yeah i think to be fair i always fancied myself he fancies ourselves against most of them really but i think the top ones you know i remember playing figo in the champions league and you just thought absolutely unbelievable um over mars ginola not at old trafford genoa away from home if i played him at newcastle or at tottenham caused me big problems scored a great goal at newcastle against me got me sent off at white hart lane so he would he would be a big problem just his physical stature and the fact he could go both ways jamie hardest opponent i wonder by a mile and it it's the two players we've both mentioned because they were that quick so you talk about ability and going tight with people and and you can sometimes you can work that out you've got to use your brain experience but when someone's got blister and pace and we weren't blessed with pace of course again so you've almost got to be switched on that much but sometimes it's just out of your control and for me tear on me is the best play in the premier league funny you say that no we haven't i've done that to you at least three times next question most underrated player you played against jamie what do you think someone that that perhaps wasn't talked about a lot but always gave you a tough time oh you mean it oh okay okay i thought you went in the premier league come up against me i tell you what what i would say is i've just mentioned on ray it was the blistering pace and he's the best player in the premier league for me but if you if you maybe name the next sort of five or six great attackers in the premier league van passy rooney sheeran i don't know drug but all these players now i'm sure there'll be games where they got the better of me of course they will have done but i wouldn't say i had a really uh i found it massively difficult uh and that's not saying how great it was because when you play those teams more from the passing teams and they're trying to break you down and everything's almost certainly at center about reading the game and being switched on the games that i found more difficult was when you played against maybe kevin davis or bobby zamora or duncan ferguson with a team is just really direct and also because you're playing against the team everyone expects you to beat everyone expects you to win every challenge because you're supposed to be playing against an inferior team or an inferior player and they just give you an absolute nightmare using the body winning the ball and you're involved in the game a lot more than you would be than against the united or an arsenal because they may be passing the ball around the back into midfield and it's about just being switched on and me organizing the rest of the team people in front but that's long throws set pieces and i was never the tallest as well either so i would say players like that give me a problem i think the one that i played against ended up playing at united was louis sahar when he played for fulham he destroyed me at center back twice once when he was in the championship with the fa cup and then the next time in the premier league the player i i'm just thinking then to be fair a player that played at a premier league a top premier league side that probably didn't get the plaudits of the other someone like an sen at chelsea in that first two or three years the sort of the the impact he had on that team just from his running ability the energy from midfield balancing off against obviously franco was obviously going forward into the box i thought sem was a brilliant player in that first couple of years all right current player that you would have most liked to play with someone from the premier league right now perhaps just inside you at centre-back or someone that you could give the ball to um from a defensive point of view van dyke um i think from an attacking point of view i'd look at i'd be a young english player i i always look at folding and think how united not got him as a young sort of i know he's obviously been a city a long time but actually look at some like fold and think that's the type of player that you would sort of you'd think what a player is he's gonna be around for a long time so i'd say folding jamie i i'm thinking myself playing at centre-back and who i could affect really and i'm going to say trent maybe i've got my liverpool hat on but to play with someone like that you're so unique creative wise for a football team but the type of player i was i was very big and in terms of organizing my team and i actually think i could help trent at different times you mean there was a chance against crystal palace tonight at the back post where before it happens i'm thinking trent get back get back and i just think if i was there i'm not saying i'm going to make trent you know he's an amazing player anyway i just think i'd help him switch on at times when he's maybe not switched on enough defensively i do think that actually when rob robertson is an unbelievable player but i think if actually van dyke switched to the right and actually played with trent down that side les would come down that side anyway just naturally you know obviously liverpool do have not a weak center back on the right but it's weaker than van dyke and obviously i think on that left-hand side they're absolutely brilliant questions on the best youngsters ever to play in the premier league this feels like a leading question is is wayne rooney the best youngster ever to play in the premier league um yeah probably tell us about when he first arrived at old trafford the impression united was signing players back then you signed say for instance roy keane or you sign um wayne rooney real ferdinand and you just know they're a guarantee they're in absolute certainty um and rooney when he came i played with him with england um played against him in for everton and everton reserves and you had absolutely no doubts whatsoever i think i've been with him in europe 2004 on the morning of the portugal game where he actually obviously did his injury that night i always remember you're a little bit nervous it's a quarter final of a major championships and he was playing tables saying so yeah how are you you're right he said i can't wait i just thought that's abnormal that i could never see football like that from a point of view of that enthusiasm that confidence that get me out there for me it was almost a case of like i want to get through this game my first pass winning my first header i'm playing against figo or ronaldo whoever's playing against me so i'm a little bit like a little bit anxious i mean and he just cannot and i just thought he's made to play at old trafford he's made to play in that sort of big big stage and uh i say i think there's probably very few that have took taken to that big stage like him anyone else that you can think of that had a a big impression on you as a young player michael i think there's something about michael that actually i wouldn't say i feel sorry for him he's a brilliant career but i think he's one of those plays a lot of us we forget how good he was at that age of 18 to 21 22 where it was off the scale what he was like he was the same robbie robbie's another i mean i sort of come through at the same time as michael and you talk about mentality about what rooney was like i used to room with michael and michael had this mentality that he was the best in the world at 18. he believed that he wasn't he he wasn't even he was kidding himself no one's better than me you couldn't even discuss something about another player so you see you you were watching you know the highlights of the game you had the game the next day and a few goals were going in and so he looks a good play he looks a good player he could never ex i never heard him once say another striker was a good player it was almost he had this sort of thing no one's better than me i'm the best and that mentality he had and what he did in the world cup at 18. balon is the last ballon d'or winner i think of uh english player or maybe in the premier league of ronaldo when he was in the premier league but what he was doing in the pace he was shown he was the premier league top goal scorer of the first two seasons he played in the premier league at 18 and 19 what he did for england and i just think it was wow watch you know and i i some of the goals he scored are just off the street i played in that game in sentation when he obviously came on the scene and absolutely just destroyed argentina um it was an unbelievable sight in those in those first couple of years is that is that the difference between the very best players you talked about it with rooney talked about with owen that that mental strength that belief that just elevates the top challenge 100 percent and and i include the two of us in i think we were mentally very good mentally very strong we every game was like a cup final for us because it had to be because we weren't the most talented so every game had to be almost like the last game of your life that i've got to be so concentrated you're trying to come up against the figal ronaldo i was the same humor playing against i've got to start the game well everything i do has got to be perfect because i'm not good enough to go into a game and just be relaxed now there's a lot of people who maybe have the talent of a rooney or no one but they don't have that mentality the mentality is what makes the players top players it's not the ability there's a lot of players with great ability but the ones that get to the very very top it's mentality liverpool had a good record against us for about i think it was two or three seasons and michael kept getting chances in our chat in the channel um in the right channel and i always remember you know against arsenal i very rarely could go forward we had to close that left-hand side off with omri perez or before that over mars um anelka and then at liverpool michaels kept getting those passes played into that channel there i remember for about two seasons i was told not to move stay so tight wherever the center back was whether that was wes brown or whoever else was playing don't move stay in there and that was when michael was at his absolute top of his game don't move you're staying in there we're not letting anything in that channel and so it takes a lot for us alex ferguson to alter you know his plan and not let your fallback go forward when we're attacking or make sure that you really tucked in now and let it go wide but he did that we did that with against him just on this we've just gone off on a bit of an interesting tangent um i just want to explore for a second do you see any english players right now that have that kind of mentality are we talking about phil foden is there anybody else yeah yeah i mean the one that really stands out for me i mean i i think he's got the sort of a real great i think he's gonna be the next captain of england's declan rice you know i don't know the lad at all but the way he played just something about him i can feel like he's got that let's not forget he got released by chelsea 40 and that takes something to sort of bounce back i'm sure chelsea have him back in a heartbeat right now he's the first one that jumps out to me harry kane is another i mean the mentality of harry kane i think is is tough that's what makes him where he is there's something about harry kane that we a lot of people in this country still don't give him enough credit whether it's because he went on loan it's a bit like he wasn't that good is it what is it now the mentality being his cop goal scorer in a world cup he never got a sort of move last season uh it's almost he's never won nothing all this the mentality's gonna be the top goal scorer for england he's gonna be the the top goal scorer ever top and he's probably gonna be the premier league greatest or most goals there and he's one who i think gets a lot thrown at him considering what he's done in his career and he just never gets involved never never bites back does his job everything i i think is his mentality is absolutely fine i think the whole england team to be honest with you to get to a semi-final of a world cup then get to a european championships final um unbelievable mentality the way they take on the social issues the way in which they actually present themselves way in which to deal with the media hurricane there's a big moment yesterday in that game i was watching when he misses that chance but he still has that sort of ability to come back and score that when he's still there he still believes in himself shira was like that alan shearer was the only player that i really ever played with he could do it over a long period of time as an english center forward who had that sort of stone cold ice mentality with shearer and kane is the only thing that i've seen i've been working with him for a couple of years with english the only thing that i've seen is anything like all right let's finish with some quick fire on the twitter again uh gerard or lampard jamie oh not here again are we oh yeah we're not talking about managers we're talking about players all of them i would just thousands ferdinand terry go i would go steven gerrard i would go john terry and i would go roy keane i'd probably go the same i would go the same would i no i got ferdinand hashtag no biases the middle ones i go rio i go real because i played with him so long you need to save my backside quite a lot we might to save the predictions until the end of the transfer window i've got a feeling there's a lot might happen in the next couple of weeks so we'll hold up the monday night football predictions
