Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher mocks El Hadji Diouf after expletive-ridden rant
JAMIE CARRAGHER has responded to former Liverpool team-mate El Hadji Diouf’s astonishing rant in a French football magazine.
Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher came under attack from El Hadji Diouf
He said: “The difference between Jamie [Carragher] and me is that I am a world-class player and he is a s**t.
“The type of s**t that writes a book and mentions me all the time. Me, in my book, he does not warrant one phrase: he's a f*****g loser.”
But on Twitter, Carragher showed he is not one to hold a grudge.
The other big difference is he's scored less goals for LFC in the Premier League than me! (Not counting OG's!!) https://t.co/dwEA56c7NA

Instead, he decided to mock Diouf’s poor goalscoring record in the Premier League for Liverpool, with just three goals in 55 games compared to his four goals in 508 league games.
He tweeted: “The other big difference is he's scored less goals for LFC in the Premier League than me! (Not counting OG’s!!).”
Diouf also attacked Steven Gerrard, claiming he failed for club and country.

He added: “I carried the national team for many years, 14 million fans on my shoulders. When we won, it was thanks to me, when we lost, it was my fault.
“What I represented for Senegal, he [Gerrard] never managed 100th of that for England. He has never done anything in the World Cup or the Euros.
“When I arrived at Liverpool, seeing as I just did what I wanted, he thought that I did not respect the club.
“But he downright killed his team by slipping against Chelsea. If Liverpool has never won the Premier League, it's no accident. What goes around, comes around.”
