"Organiser" is a key word though. It remains to be seen whether Agger and Skrtel between them can cover that aspect of what Carra brings to the side. IMO you may be writing him off too soon, especially if the break does him good.

The problem I see it as JJ, is that Carra is marshaling the defence to cover for his lack of pace. It has to be Agger + 1 as he is a left footer, and despite lacking Carras organisation they have managed to keep a clean sheet since he left 2.5 games ago. Ok, 45 mins was Coates + Skrtel, followed by 2 games with Agger + Skrtel, but despite not having JC on the pitch, despite having the rusty GlenJo returning at RB, Agger (45 intl caps) and Skrtel (52 intl caps) somehow managed to co-ordinate themselves and we didn't concede. Ok, the opposition was not top notch I hear you say, but neither were Bolton, Norwich or Stoke (league).
We need to plan for life without him at some stage and 2 clean sheets in a row says to me to keep trying what we have.
