Jamie Carragher has been made to eat his own words by praising Arsenal star Mikel Merino despite aiming criticism at the makeshift forward earlier this season.
The Liverpool legend previously criticized the Spaniard's £30million signing from Real Sociedad as a 'mistake'.
But he was full of the praise for the 28-year-old before another assured display during Arsenal's 4-0 thrashing of Ipswich on Sunday.
Merino, who is a natural midfielder, has taken on a makeshift striker role this season with Mikel Arteta's forward line hampered by injuries.
