Jamie Carragher appears to have changed his stance on dressing room selfies

The sign of a true man is one who is not afraid to admit he was wrong.

Last season, Jamie Carragher took aim – on Sky Sports and in his Daily Mail column – at Arsenal’s players for tweeting out dressing room selfies after games.

He declared, “Seriously, this trend has got to stop. Arsenal did it last week but it goes on at plenty of other clubs, too.

“I’m all for players enjoying a win but shouldn’t the picture taking be saved for the games that matter, such as cup finals, when you can come away with proper memories?

“Selfies shouldn’t be taken after you get three points: that, remember, is the job footballers are paid to do.”

Carragher appears to have changed his tune after witnessing Liverpool overcome Stoke 6-5 on penalties to reach the League Cup final.

Carragher even offered to make a comeback to the Liverpool squad in a post-match interview with Jurgen Klopp.

It got a laugh from the Reds boss but, more importantly from the former defender, he never categorically said ‘No’.
