Following the game, Carragher attempted to play Devil's advocate and defended the player's role in the penalty incident.
Carragher said that Pogba's poor marking at set-pieces was down to, in part, Liverpool targeting him and blocking him.
The former Liverpool defender said if Jose Mourinho thought Pogba was poor at defending crosses, he wouldn't have delegated him the job of marking Lovren.
"It terms of Jose Mourinho choosing Pogba to pick him (Lovren) up, he knows who his best header is," Carragher said.
"He's not stupid."However, Souness didn't agree and was very critical of Pogba's role at the corners, regardless of Liverpool's attempts to block him. Thierry Henry, no stranger to handball incidents himself, sided with Souness and cited Pogba's failure to look at the ball. "He didn't do his job properly today," Souness said.
