At it again

Rarely misses an opportunity for a dig at the old enemy.

Jamie Carragher was in playful mood, this evening, as Sky Sports rounded out their Premier League coverage for 2015.

The broadcaster revealed the league highs and lows and Arsenal, currently in first place, topped points, wins and away victories for the calendar year.

The only area Manchester United topped was possession – averaging 62% for the past 12 months in league games. Possession statistics are often used by United boss Louis van Gaal to demonstrate how well his team are playing but his side currently sit six points adrift of the Champions League places.

Carragher joked, “I know that United and their supporters should be really proud of that.”

Carragher made the remarks after watching Liverpool defeat Sunderland 1-0 at the Stadium of Light.

On his former club, Carragher said, “To be honest, I don’t think Liverpool are going to make top four.”

When it comes to individual statistics for the year, Arsenal midfielders Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla have had fine 2015s.

Harry Kane has the most goals [27] while Simon Mignolet tops the clean sheet pile [16].
