Carragher, who is not a Newcastle supporter, stated that he was upset by Rummenigge's quote and believes it was unprofessional for someone associated with a respected club like Bayern Munich to speak so disrespectfully about another player. He thinks that pundits should maintain a level of respect and decorum, especially when discussing fellow professionals.

Carragher also noted that Woltemade's performance in the Premier League is a good start to his career, and he hopes that Rummenigge's comments will be "shoved down his mouth" by Woltemade's success on the field.
