Jamie Carragher excellently trolls Gary Neville after Sky Sports blunder during Super Sunday analysis

Pair were both on TV yesterday running rule over Manchester City and Chelsea's wins over Arsenal and Manchester United

JAMIE CARRAGHER brilliantly trolled Gary Neville after Sky Sports mixed the pundits up.

The pair were both on TV yesterday running the rule over Manchester City's win against Arsenal and Chelsea's victory against Manchester United.

Despite playing for fierce rivals Liverpool and United respectively, the former England duo have formed a friendship in their Sky Sports roles.

But that did not stop Carragher ripping into Neville.

As the camera turned to the Reds legend, a caption on screen read "Gary Neville".

Posting a picture of the gaffe, he tweeted: "No one grows up and wants to be @GNev2," alongside a shocked face.

The pair disagreed over Romelu Lukaku's display against former club Chelsea.

The Belgium striker, who snubbed a Stamford Bridge return to join United this summer, had little impact in front of his old fans.

Neville said: "I was disappointed with Lukaku.

"It looked like he was distracted in the first half, he wasn’t himself, he was frustrated. He really didn’t get any impact in the game, no influence."

Carragher, though, reckoned the verdict was "harsh" on Lukaku and instead blamed Jose Mourinho's tactics for stifling his hitman.

He said: "I'd actually look at the manager for that, in terms of Lukaku not playing well.

"We've backed - I've backed - Mourinho in big games and how he goes about it . . . I'm not going to criticise him if he's defensive and how he plays. But if you're going to back Mourinho, you can't then criticise Lukaku."
