I'm not aware that Carragher is regarded as one of the best defenders in the country, but if he is I'd like his supporters to list exactly those attributes they admire so much. As I've said in previous posts, I concede that he is a good shot-blocker with courage, but's he's not particularly strong, so can't out-muscle opponents, he's well below average in the air for a centre-back so can't dominate aerially, and he's painfully slow so will be exposed by players with only moderate pace.

 

We play in a ultra-defensive system (and did under Houllier), so he gets a lot of help from the team, to the detriment of our attacking ambitions because we are so deep. If we consistently played a more attacking game, which would inevitably lead to the defence being exposed further up the field on more occassions then Carragher's numerous shortcomings would be brought into sharper focus.

Cunt.
