He couldn't get into the England 11 because of Terry & Ferdinand.
Jamie's said in the past that he accepts those 2 are better all round players than him but in pure defending terms there's few better than Carra.
Jamie said what he said about England because thats the way almost all die hard reds feel."Scouse not English".Of course our results matter more to him.Me and most lads i know couldn't give a f**k about England.I'll only tune in to watch an England game if Stevie or any of the other Liverpool lads are playing.
Comparing Carra to Titus Bramble.....That's just fuckin crazy lad
So other than the Bramble joke, do you agree with what I say, or do you feel I am being a tad too harsh?
That attack on Carragher is a load of bollocks to be honest about it
Maybe it looks like I have come in here to antagonise but that was never my intention, I merely made a joke about Carragher and I was asked to justify it, and I felt I have. I won't press the matter other than to say maybe you are all feeling so defensive about it because its true?
You can surely agree he is no way near as good as he once was.
Jamie's a fantastic defender, i've watched him play for years.He's a top lad and an absoloute legend in my eyes.But your opinion is your own mate.
Other than groundnpound's rather small argument, it's interesting how no one is able to dismiss any of what I've said.
But as I said, I'll leave it there.
Carragher is 33 now. Obviously he is going to lose a little of what he had as father time catches up on him. I'll concede that. But you've made out he was never up to it. You said he'd have got in the England team if he was any good. It's a rather lame argument to be honest. Cesc Fabregas is a world class midfielder but cant get in the Spanish team...why?? Because he has the misfortune of playing in an era where Xavi, Inesta and Alonso were playing in. It's the same with Carragher....he had Ferdinand and Terry to contend with. Doesnt take from his ability. We've watched Carragher for years and appreciate how great a defender he is. We'd have lost a hell of a lot more matches if Carra hadnt been in our team.
But as groundnpound says...your opinion is your own and fair enough.
I tend to agree with alot of what u say,he just not fast enough for the prem anymore im afraid, and his constant harrasment of the other players does start 2 get on people nerves in the end, i mean he constantly was on arbelola case when he was there nearly attacking him n a meaningless game against wba when it was infact his own goals against hull n spurs that cost liverpool that season, he got 2 many own goals 2 put it down 2 bad luck imo arbelola was a great defender and proved that at real madrid
Thank you Colmanjohn! How could I forget that he is one of the leading high scorers in the Premier League for own goals!
