When Agger was fit in 2012 Liverpool were still out of form but only conceded, on average, 0.86 clear-cut chances per game. Whilst Carragher has started this has increased to 2 clear cut chances per game conceded. The opposition have taken advantage of this and converted 50% of them whilst Carragher has been playing too which is a better conversion rate. In the last six games alone Liverpool have conceded 14 clear cut chances and shipped seven goals from these clear cut chances.

Carra-2012-Defence-Stats.png


Carra has attempted 21 duels/tackles in 6 games (3.5 per game) in 2012 whilst Daniel Agger has attempted 58 in 5 games (11.6 per game) in 2012. There’s a massive difference in attempted tackles/duels that the team misses out on there and it’s clear that Carra holds back and doesn’t challenge as much as he’s conscious of being beaten or even giving away free kicks.

That's not fair, look at the opposition.
 
only kenny knows why he is starting carra ahead of coates in agger's absence. even if coates were fucking up the same as carra at least he would be taking the experience into next season. carra getting games makes NO SENSE.
 
since carra has been reintroduced to the side we are defending deeper, launching it more often and seem all over the place at the back. I know it isn't all carra's fault but you have a young defender who is quick, stronger, taller (so you'd assume he is better in the air) yet carra is getting picked ahead of him because carra has more experience. I could take us fucking up in the league if our kids were getting vital experience but players badly out of form are getting games.
coates for carra.
robinison for enrique
jonjo for henderson

if we picked the following we we have been any worse off? bear in mind we've one 1 game in 5 attempts.
