We've covered Gary Neville, so now it's time to discuss his good pal Jamie.
On The Balls.ie Football Show this week, an extended edition of 'PUNDIT WATCH' focused on those who are improving the overall enjoyment of watching football on live TV by picking out our favourite moments of punditry in recent memory.
Since joining Sky Sports right after his Liverpool retirement, Carragher has made a strong case for being the best analyst around with his frequent calling out of players not putting in a shift, his breaking down of defensive organisation, and well, regularly taking the piss out of Gary Neville.
Here are five clips that best show what to expect from Jamie Carragher anlysis.
A fantastic bullshit-free take on Jamie Vardy being booked for diving.
Jamie Vardy was the golden boy of English football, top scorer in the league and about to win a title with Leicester, when he was sent off for two yellows having been booked for diving. "There was contact" was argued by far too many, but Carragher cut right through that.

Throwing bias aside to scrutinise the mental stability of Liverpool.
After Luis Suarez was reduced to tears on the pitch at Selhurst Park, Carragher was asked for his immediate reaction which would have been tough for a Liverpool fan directly after that infamous 3-3 draw. Next season, when Liverpool again shipped three in a loss to Palace, Carragher had a bone to pick.
***
His magnificent dressing down of the hapless Lamine Kone at Sunderland.
The most recent example on this list was Carragher's spot on calling out of Lamine Kone who was simply phoning it in and costing Sunderland goals.

"How can you walk in a football match?" - Hard evidence that Newcastle players weren't trying.
Few can criticise lazy defending like Jamie Carragher can, and another example of that came when the writing was well and truly on the wall for Newcastle after slumping to a 4-0 loss at Southampton.
***
A balanced and fair analysis of Dejan Lovren's early struggles at Liverpool.
But he's not always got the knives out for defenders. When Lovren was taking abuse from all angles for a series of mistakes early in his Liverpool career, Carragher pointed out why these things were happening and offered suggestions as to how to solve the problem.

Having seen what happened when Gary Neville tried his hand at management after success as a pundit, you get the feeling like Jamie Carragher is going nowhere soon, which is most definitely a good thing, as his analysis has set the standard for retired pros moving into television.
