John Terry called out Jamie Carragher on Monday night over his Premier League team of the decade, which saw the former Chelsea player snubbed.
Ahead of Aston Villa’s 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, the former Liverpool defender and Gary Neville revealed which footballers they thought stood out in the the last 10 years.

As can see above both chose to ignore their former England team-mate and instead replaced him with Man City’s Vincent Kompany and the Ballon d’or nominated Virgil van Dijk at centre-half – leaving no room for the five-time Premier League champion.
Terry wrote: “09/10 14/15 played every minute of every game! Only the 5th player EVER to do that! 16/17”.
Carragher said: “When he finishes at Liverpool, I think he will be No 1. I always said John Terry but I think he will be even better.”
A social media user asked John Terry: “so which one you getting in front of? VVD or VC [Kompany]?”.
Terry replied: “Both – me and Rio all day long.”
NEVILLE AND CARRAGHER’S TEAMS OF THE DECADE

The pair also revealed their favourite goal from the last decade. Neville briefly praised Olivier Giroud’s spectacular scorpion kick against Crystal Palace in the 2016-17 campaign, but ended up picking Aguero’s title-clinching strike against QPR.

Carragher, on the other hand, chose Peter Crouch’s acrobatic volley against City in 2012.
