Carragher leaves Sky Sports studio in stitches after Robert De Niro impression

Jamie Carragher left the Sky Sports studio in stitches after quoting Robert De Niro's iconic 'you talking to me' line from the 1976 film Taxi Driver while analysing Wolves' equaliser against Newcastle.

The Magpies drew 1-1 with Wolves on Saturday and Carragher highlighted a breakdown in communication which led to Ruben Neves' goal.

The equaliser came moments after Matt Ritchie replaced Emil Krafth, with manager Steve Bruce saying after the game: "The direction which unfortunately Matt Ritchie didn't get on quick enough.

"It was the instructions of how we were doing it. That was a frustration for all of us, but we'll have to concede that one and make sure our instructions [get on], we'll do it from the sideline [next time]."

Analysing the goal on Sky Sports Monday Night Football, Carragher explained that the goal stemmed from the substitution changing the way Newcastle lined up.

Isaac Hayden and Jacob Murphy were set to drop into a back five and Ritchie was tasked with explaining the change in formation to his team-mates.

However, Jonjo Shelvey took a quick free-kick and Ritchie was unable to get the message across before play restarted.

"I believe if this would have been a back three they would have stopped the goal and this is the big problem," Carragher said.

"He [Hayden] is basically a right-back in a back four. He should be a right-sided centre-back and Newcastle should have [Jacob Murphy] here [at right wing-back].

"But it's not his fault. He hasn't been given the message. He [Neves] gets in between them [to score].
