KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is Carragher past it?

Maybe rafa knew carra was starting to struggle & that's why he was interested in michael turner of hull,not just as a replacement for hyppia but carra as well.But unfortunately,couldn't come up with the funds.

we really miss having Agger in the side. he gives us so many options.

Carragher's bad form would mean that Agger might replace him soon, just like he did to Hypia. it's all down to competition. Agger and Skrtel fit better together than Carragher and Skrtel. so, let's see who will be our preferred partnership.


Carragher cost us so many goals, even in friendlies. whether he's past it or not, it does not matter. what really matters is that he needs a kick up the backside, or he needs to be dropped for a couple of games.

As much as i hate to say this, Carragher has been showing signs of being past it for the lat 18 months.

Although i dont think he ha reached that stage where he is a liability, he might be in a year. That is why Daniel Agger must step up soon.

Luckiest player in our history to play 500 games given he is so limited in footballing ability.

What he makes up with the lack of skill and footballing ability, he makes it up with passion and aggression.

For that, lets give him the credit he deserves.

overall, Carragher deserves credit.

but for now, he is not performing well, and should be dropped for a better CB. just like Gerrard and Torres must be dropped if they weren't playing well. that's what competition is all about.

gerrard isn't performing well ...... but no one ever calls for him to be dropped (though imo i think he needs the kick up the backside as he played much much better for england where he has to or get left out)

i don't see how a poor gerrard, giving the ball away by shooting wildly from 30 yards, yet again, when the better option would have been a pass at least half the time, is better than playing a player who would allow us to keep possession and play for the team

even if gerrard does come good during the seaeon dont be surprised to see him take the foot off the gas for a bit towards the end of the season to keep himself fit for the world cup especially if we are not right in the hunt in the last month or so. im not questioning his commitment but we all know how much playing for england means to him

Thats because Gerrard is a sh*thouse, he spat his dummy out big time when he was asked to play right midfield in 2006, but never complained once when asked to play left midfield for the three lions. Every time he gives an interview for England he says he is happy to play anywhere Erikson, McClaren and now Capello ask him to play but wont entertain doin the same for the people whom pay his wages and make him captain. As I have always said on here, Gerrard is a tremendos player, not world class but most complete allrounder in the world, but he's a horrible person who i would'nt give the time of day to off the pitch.
