Carragher blames one Arsenal player for missing out on Champions League
Carragher talked about Nuno Tavares who has gone out on loan.
Jamie Carragher has claimed that Arsenal would ‘probably’ be playing Champions League football this season and he blamed one player Nuno Tavares.
The North London club missed out on a place in the top-four on the final day of the Premier League campaign, with Spurs finding themselves the fourth and final CL spot.
Jamie Carragher has moved to claim that we would likely have finished inside the top-four had it not been for Nuno Tavares however, pinpointing his performance at Palace as one which stands out.
“Tavares has gone out on loan, I saw,” said Carragher. “I think if they had a better left-back, then you probably would be in the top four now.
“I don’t like singling one player out, but I just think he cost you in certain games. I remember that game at Crystal Palace last season, it was on Monday Night Football and I said on TV ‘he has to come off at half-time’. I think he put Xhaka left-back.”
