KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum the end of carra

we certainly know that Carra has struggled this season and borders on being reckless sometimes, he has come of of a bad patch before stronger but this has been 10+ games now. For me his 'on the ball' ability is more of a problem, it really is attention all corners when he gets it. The latter days of Hyppia we saw him turned for pace but he was still fantastic on the ball and against the smaller teams possession is everything as you grind them down, you are also able to be more adventurous in midfield if you know the back door is shut. Carra gives the ball away too many times which we then have to compete for, all those row 'Z' clearances end up with long throws in our box. Basically passing the initiative to the opposition. WBA will be perfect example, we know Roy plays deep,tight, long pressure ball football. Strangely against the better sides Carra is better protected.

Yeah, cant bring myself to say anything against Carra, a true legend if ever there was one, but all good things come to an end...in this case near an end. Skertle is not the answer, Coates might be but he's a bit inexperienced and a bit slow for my liking. I have to agree with BarLennon, we need to sign Gary Cahill or someone similar and partner him with Agger (if fit!) and use Kelly and Enrique on the right and left respectively, leaving Johnson, Coates and Flanno and possibly Robinson as back up, though not the strongest back up in the world either! The rest of our defensive squad, I'd put on the market.
