Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew blasts Jamie Carragher

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew takes exception to Jamie Carragher's comments in the aftermath of his team's 2-1 defeat to Liverpool earlier this month.

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has blasted former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher for his comments in the aftermath of Liverpool's 2-1 win at Selhurst Park earlier this month.

A controversial Christian Benteke spot kick secured all the points for the visitors and after the match, Carragher insisted that the Belgian striker was right to hit the ground if he felt contact.

Pardew, however, has taken exception to the former centre-back's comments and claimed that "loyalties can blur opinions at times".

"What annoyed me most were Jamie Carragher's strong comments after the game stating that Christian Benteke was right to go down and win the penalty," Pardew wrote in his matchday notes.

"I couldn't disagree more with those sentiments and it is a shame that so many former and current players share his opinion that diving is a valid tactic.

"Would Carragher have had the same opinion if Wilf (Wilfried Zaha) had gone down in the box in the 94th minute of a massive game at Anfield? I suspect not, but loyalties can blur opinions at times."

Palace are now 13 league games without a win after losing 1-0 at home to Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
