Micah Richards and Thierry Henry tear Jamie Carragher apart in hilarious clip as they relive the Liverpool legend trying to defend a corner against the former Man City man

Micah Richards left Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher in stitches after showing a clip from his playing days on live TV.

Richards was working alongside the pair on CBS Sports' coverage of Wednesday's Champions League games, and pulled up an example of 'how not to defend set pieces' that involved the former Manchester City man.

But Carragher also featured, with the clip showing the former defender's Liverpool conceding from a corner against City in a 3-0 defeat in August 2010.

Richards ran through the clip alongside Henry, highlighting both his and Carragher's roles in Carlos Tevez's goal, which was the second of City's victory at the Etihad Stadium.

Carragher was left red-faced by the analysis, but Richards seemed to be having fun with his words.

Richards highlighted his now-colleague's actions before Man City's second goal against Liverpool in August 2010

He asked the former Liverpool defender to explain his action that led to Richards winning the header

'I want to take you back, way back, how not to defend at set pieces,' Richards began. Liverpool against Manchester City. Jamie in here. Have you ever seen this? He's clapping his opponent.'

Carragher interrupted: 'Look at me, organising.'

'He's not concentrating,' Richards continued. 'I invite you to look at Big Meeks coming in just there. The threat is coming. But hold on. Jamie sees Big Meeks, and doesn't want nothing.

Carragher insisted he was organising and and instead marking former City captain Vincent Kompany

The cross resulted in Richards firing a header towards goal before Carlos Tevez poked home

'He's looking, assessing the situation, where shall I go? I'll go with these two. And what happens? Big Meeks with a lovely leap, Jamie, nowhere to be seen, zero organisation, talk me through it Jamie, please, what were you doing?'

Henry and presenter Kate Abdo were left cracking up at Richards' analysis, before Carragher leapt to his own defence.

He insisted he had other things on his mind, and that it wasn't his responsibility to mark his now colleague. 

Carragher ended up grabbing Richards to demonstrate how he defended against Kompany

Henry ended up confused and questioned what the pair were doing as they watched the clip play out

'The leader, coming back, organising other people,' he said. 'Who am I marking? Vincent Kompany. How big is Vincent Kompany? He's six foot four. How big am I? Six foot. Who still takes the biggest one in the team? No one in football takes more responsibility.'

'What are you doing here?' Henry asked, with the clip showing Carragher walking towards the back of the box.

'I've just put it out for a corner,' Carragher replied. 'I've tackled him, organising, telling everybody else what to do.

'I'm not worried about you,' he joked to Richards, before grabbing him to explain his marking of Kompany. 'You didn't even score.'
