Naturally, lots of Manchester City fans didn't agree with one of Jamie Carragher's points on Wednesday night.

On punditry duty for Sky Sports as they covered Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Chelsea, the former Liverpool defender said that he believed Arsenal's front three of Mesut Özil, Alexis Sanchez and Alexandre Lacazette was better than City's trident of Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero. A quick glimpse at the reaction to the comment on Twitter reveals few were in agreement with him; even some Arsenal supporters were questioning him. https://twitter.com/GoonerGirl1969/status/948674416493387778 Credit where it's due to Carragher, he took the time to explain himself on Twitter when one City supporter tweeted him, explaining that it was undeniable that on this season's evidence, City's front three have been much better. He followed this by pointing out that, generally speaking, Özil and Sanchez would be rated above Sterling and Sane by most football fans. He did, however, concede that Aguero was a better striker than Lacazette. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/948685486771572737 Maybe he's got a point. Should Özil and Sanchez leave before the month is out, there'll no longer be any arguments to be had on this particular topic.
