Jamie Carragher Critiques Lewis-Skelly's Haaland Mimicry, Praises Rice

Jamie Carragher expressed mixed feelings about Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly after the teenager mimicked Erling Haaland's celebration in a recent match where Arsenal defeated Manchester City 5-1. While some, like host Chris Sutton, found humor in the act, Carragher felt it was inappropriate for a young player to mock a seasoned star. He did commend Lewis-Skelly's performance, comparing him to football greats like Wayne Rooney and Jude Bellingham, and noted his 'football arrogance.' Carragher highlighted the importance of senior players like Declan Rice guiding younger teammates, suggesting that while Lewis-Skelly's actions were understandable, they needed to be tempered. In response to Arsenal's social media post celebrating Lewis-Skelly's goal, Haaland's father jokingly remarked about Arsenal's lack of recent success. Overall, Carragher sees potential in Lewis-Skelly but advises caution in his on-field demeanor.
