Liverpool hero Carragher admits love/hate sympathies towards Richarlison

Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher has spoken of his ongoing feud with Tottenham striker Richarlison.

The last flare up occurred when Richarlison tweeted Carragher after Everton's dramatic 3-2 win against Crystal Palace secured their Premier League status in May, telling the pundit to wash his mouth out and adding that 'I don't respect you' - and the ex-Reds defender admitted that his respect grew after the reply, but that he still 'can't stand' his apparent theatrics.

“He's gone for me a couple of times and I think a lot more of him now when he came back at me a couple of times," Carragher told JOE. “I think he's a good player, but I can't stand it, there's a difference between diving and feigning injury.

“It's the going down when he's not hurt, if you go down to try to get a free-kick and don't get it, get up and get on with the game. He's holding somewhere he's not been hit and I'd had enough of it.

"I guarantee you Everton fans when they play Tottenham this season will be saying the same if Richarlison carries on with that."
