Jamie Carragher has responded to Pep Guardiola's scathing attack against pundits, including himself and Gary Neville.

Guardiola defended his team against accusations of complacency, saying that it was not about that. Carragher responded to Guardiola's comments on X (formerly known as Twitter) and elaborated further on The Overlap's Stick to Football podcast. Carragher speculated that Guardiola's outburst was a result of a "siege mentality" and his concern about the upcoming match against Arsenal. He also jokingly mentioned that Guardiola must be "terrified" of Roy Keane.

Roy Keane showed sympathy towards Guardiola and his outburst, attributing it to the use of the word "complacent."
