carra became our 2nd most league appearances yesterday. I think it was 493. a real club legend. I know he's only a squad player now but I think there'll be a few more to come.

Easily my favourite legend in terms of passion, personality and how humble he has been to the club. I think its well deserved. Now all he needs to do is pass the torch on so to speak and guide young defenders like Wisdom and Coates on the right path and help them become better players.

nice that rodgers is making sure carra gets to 500. everybody would be all over kenny's dick if he was doing what rodgers is doing for carra.

James Lee Duncan Carragher = Living Legend.

Playing Legend*

I personally don't understand Rodgers playing Carragher myself, what's wrong with Coates, if he's injured then fair enough but Carragher is not the future of the Club but Coates might be, surely it's more beneficial getting him on the pitch and more experience...

I agree joe, I think Coates needs to start playing, he was an expensive signing at 8m for a young defender but so far has very little playing time, he needs to be given a chance, that QPR goal was amazing. I think managers tend to trust veterans more than youngsters and may be Rodgers was being sympathetic sort of speak on giving Carra a go.

yep I agree it's just that showing too much sympathy or sentiment is what's cost our Club over the years...

Isn't he away on bereavement or something as his sister was diagnosed with cervical cancer?

i agree that coates needs game time.

only reason for bringing carragher on that i can think of is that BR wanted to keep a clean sheet. and that sunderland might try and put pressure on in the last 15mins to get a consolation. carragher is better at sponging that kind of stuff up than coates.

he is clearly getting carra to 500 games. also it looks like rodgers doesn't rate coates. rodgers if rumoured to want 2 defenders 1 from lazio and isinat or something like that, both CB's so carra's and coates's days are numbered, or so it seems. and talking about coates' fee as a justification for him getting some playing time isn't fair as rodgers didn't buy him. kenny brought him on the back of an impressive copa america, maybe coates' name will go down with, diouf, daio, pongelle, cheyrou and so on. I'm personnally not a huge fan people were saying he's quick and has a lovely right foot, he looks like what you'd expect from a 6'6 CB he's a bit of a meat-ball head. not sure id sell him yet though.
