The Blues have won one out of their past eight league matches, drawing three and losing four after their defeat at home to City tonight (5 January).
Riyad Mahrez secured all three points for Pep Guardiola’s side in the 63rd minute.
The Algerian crept in at the back post to tap home from close range after Jack Grealish’s clever cross.
However, the goal came from questioning defending from Graham Potter’s men, particularly Cucurella.
Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was also timid in his efforts to prevent Grealish’s cross which trickled past him into Mahrez’s path.
Carragher was doing post-match coverage for Sky Sports when he questioned Kepa’s goalkeeping for the goal.
He said:
Carragher then slammed Cucurella’s performance, claiming that the Spaniard doesn’t want to defend:
Chelsea are 10th in the Premier League table and trail fourth-placed Manchester United by 10 points.
Meanwhile, second-placed City have cut the gap on league leaders Arsenal to four points.
Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang warned he may not play again after dreadful display against City
Aubameyang came on in the fifth minute of Chelsea’s defeat to City after Raheem Sterling picked up a hamstring injury.
However, the Gabonese striker made little to no impact and was substituted by teenager Omari Hutchinson in the 68th minute.
Premier League legend Chris Sutton has warned Aubameyang that he may never feature again following his outing against City.
He told the BBC:
Sutton continued by questioning whether Potter was thinking about Aubameyang’s future in the team due to his poor showing:
Aubameyang joined the Blues from Barcelona in the summer for £10 million. He has scored just three goals in 16 appearances across competitions.
