In response, Neville posted a set of quotes from Jamie Carragher - who Karius admitted he would accept criticism from - in which the Reds legend lays into the stopper.

Neville captioned the picture: "My sincere apologies Karius. You're right. A failed manager hasn't a clue. I won't copy your great fan, pundit and club legend again."

Carragher's comments read: "In eight starts for Liverpool he has not shown me one thing to suggest he's good enough at this level. He's yet to convince me in any game.

"It's still early days but he would need a massive improvement. When your defence is under pressure, sometimes you need your goalkeeper to save it and he's miles away."

Karius responded to Neville's criticism by saying he "did not care" about his views.

He said: “Carragher was here at Liverpool for a long time so maybe after the game he was a bit frustrated. He is probably still a supporter. I have to accept it.

"What critics say right after the game, I don’t know what I think. If you asked them again would they say it now?

"And I don’t care what Gary Neville said. He was a manager for a short bit and now he is back to being an expert again.

"But he is always very critical. I think he does it to everyone. I just hope that when I do well he will comment on that. We will see in the future."
