Carra

[usernameunknown]

Absolute legend but it's time for someone to tell him not to taint his legacy. Gary Neville realised he was shot, he needs to do the same. It's painful to watch and costs us points. Yet again.

[Captain]

Carra isn't our problem. The fact that we just can't score is. We can't even put away penalties, but need an Arsenal centre back to score for us.

[usernameunknown]

Carra isn't our problem.

 

Bollocks, he's part of it. Horrific out muscling when we were dominant.

[aRdja]

He lost his man twice, and we conceded twice..

[N'Gog I Trust]

He really is awful, and has been for a long time.

[moof]

Carra's barely played this season how can he be part of the problem. Bit shithouse starting a thread about him the minute the whistle sounded if you ask me. There is bigger issues in our side than our defence.

[Guest LFD]

He was poor today, certainly for their first goal. But I still think he can offer something to the squad.

[J-V]

Seasons over baring the FA cup. Play Coates and let Carragher keep the bench warm whilst Agger is injured.

Stoke league game, today, Utd at home in the league (though he wasn't the only culprit there), valuable points gone because he cant defend anymore, massive fuck up at home to Bolton though luckily it didnt matter. He's useless unless Agger is carrying him.

 

Not sure why it's seen as such a crime on here to suggest he's way past it, use your eyes. He's not the problem but one of many.

Yep. Thats basically the truth of it.

[Guest TK-421]

I thought he would come in and do a reasonable job today but he was culpable. To be fair van persie is on fire and has done that to most teams this season.

 

Id be interested to see coates given a go in the next game.

Anyone still believing Jamie Carragher has the ability to play at the level we desire to be at (Top 4) Has more loyalty to Carraghers history for the club, what he's achieved rather than his current footballing ability.

 

He's not the only culprit today but for me, hes finished as a footballer. Reina should never be beat at his near post but he is... Frequently

[TheDrowningMan]

Not been good enough for a top 10 Premiership team for a good couple of years now. That's utterly obvious.

Agreed, Reina has dropped a level or two aswell. John Actherberg has hardly finished playing in League One, can he really teach Reina a lot?

No doubt we will have Paul Robinson as his replacement.

One of the biggest myths in football that. Of course keepers are gonna get beaten at the near post from time to time. Fowlers goal at old trafford always springs to mind. I'm guessing you think that was schmeichels fault, rather than a moment of genius from fowler. As for carra, terrible defending for both goals today, cost us dearly.

I'm not sure about that TBH. Every year he won the golden gloves he faced less shots than any other goalie by a considerable margin. That's not the case anymore. Agger and Skrtel have had to play out of their skins to provide decent protection behind what is basically a porous midfield. Look at the 2nd goal absolutely no pressure on Song for the through ball. He had all the time in the world to pick the perfect pass. That wouldn't have happened before. Someone would have been in his face and he would have either played a rushed chip or a safe sideways pass. But no pressure means gilt-edged chances and it's hard to look good against those.

[Trucker Paddy]

Shouldn't start another game this season if we've 2 fit CB available, 100% at fault for 1st goal with a schoolboy error and needs to look at himself along with Reina for the 2nd.

My opinion too

[Guest ShoePiss]

Everyone knows Carra isn't the player he was, he's 34 and at the very end of his career, he isn't as good as Skrtel or Agger.

 

What I don't understand is the rush to stick the boot in. He had to play today in my opinion as Coates playing and getting done by Van Persie would be much more damaging to the team than Carra getting the same treatment.

 

Now that 4th is gone it's ideal for Coates.

What the fuck did you expect reina to do for the second?!!!

React faster and close the gap on the near post.

There wasn't really a bigger than normal gap on the near post. Keepers can't just stand on the near post leaving the rest of the goal wide open. The fact that van persie had a chance on the volley from such close range was down to woeful closing down in midfield, (mainly from adam who was shite all day), and mainly due to woeful marking from carra.

A lot better.
