Jesus, you've just reminded me of Pellegrino, what a fucking awful player he was for us.
Not really T - people just think his time as a dominant defensive player is over, and it's better we focus on using him against weaker opposition. I bet he'd say it too ...
No - I hope he doesn't start today. You've not watched much football over the last 12 months if you can't tell how Cara's level has dropped. He's not as bad as Dreamy is making out, and was ok against Hearts, but his days of dealing with top class STs is over imo. Agger-Skrtel had a bad game last week, yes. How were they all of last year again? Coates has been showing nothing but the makings of a very solid CB - a mistake here and there, and decent displays.
Oh come on ... We didn't finish 8th because the Agger-Skrtel partnership, we finished 8th because we couldn't score goals!
Oh yeah I forgot that, the non scorer moaning twat up front 😎
I don't remember Carroll moaning much 😵
True.
Carra performs to his very best whenever he is on the pitch.
I have NEVER seen him give less than 100% for us.
Age has not been kind to him & it leaves him vulnerable, true, but the loss of him in the changing room & training pitch will be much bigger than many seem to realise.
He can play a small part on the pitch this season, & a large part for the team.
Respect. After 700+ games & many, many match winning performances he damn well deserves it.
And thats why we should keep him
What about his footballing credentials? Surely, that's more important?
Skrtel was our best defender, nay, best player in the Carling Cup final.
I love Carragher too but stop telling porkies.
Correct
WUM
It was hardly fantastic Lech, it's where we dropped the points, due to two errors Carragher would have been crucified for.
Like Vlad in the other thread, he knows ... the thing is, Kelly's mistake was hard to stop - 99% of defenders struggle with that (imo of course) and Skrtel - well, we saw this from Carra against Hearts (Reina rescued him there) and no one complained really about that (his only real gaffe).
Do people really feel we should keep Coates on the bench and keep Carra as our 3rd CB?
No, but some of the flack he's getting is unnecessary, and the mistake is what prompted this thread, isn't it?
Ahhhh - this is a different system where the manager kinda puts an emphasis on passing it back in this situation.
As for Carra at RB? His days there are long gone - something he himself would probably admit to ... The idea that Carra is what he was 2-3 years ago is odd. He's still a capable CB who can spell Agger or Skrtel when needed, but the days of Carra being the player we loved him for are over.
You really think he's a better RB than Kelly? I mean, he's a better defender but he'd struggled there ... and to base why you'd start him on our team's success then and now is rather silly ... We're not the same team, but we're trying to be that team ... We have a better RB in GlenJo ... Carra is a back up now ...
I don't know which Carra you think is playing anymore ... but hey, puts words in my mouth, make silly assumptions (he should play based on the fact he was still at a very high level 3 years ago) or pretend that he would have helped yesterday (maybe on those two errors - but overall? Just don't think he has it in him to play 90 minutes on Thursday and then the best team in the league a few days later).
I think most people now realise that Carra is not going to be a regular for us any longer, and I suspect that he also realises this. Happens to all players. That doesn't take away from the years of service and commitment he has given us.
What does grate quite a bit is that some seem to have been looking forward to this, just to claim that they were right all along, which in itself is absurd anyway.
Carra has been fantastic for us for years, but now we have younger and better players who will rightly start ahead of him. If he is happy to stay at the club as back up then that seems a pretty perfect scenario to me.

Life is unfair like that. When you're a cunt, people call you out for it no matter what you say.
