Firstly i would like to thank and congratulate Jamie Carraher on a wonderful career... its immense a local lad can come thru the ranks and be hailed as such a hero....we will forever be indebted to him for his heroics in Instanbul and playing LB in 01somerthing which is often over ooked.
Having said that, being a non scouse Liverpool fan i am not blind to some of the low points in his career .
- 2 own goals in same game vs Man Utd
-Missing a free header late on vs Man Utd in a 2-2 at home
allowing Crespo in for 2-0 in Istanbul after falling over
- Allowing Viduka to chip Westerveld and not clear off the line more than once in the 4-4 vs Leeds
- Numerous OGs
in the long run he was overall a good player who cost nothing and was amongst Europe's bet around 05...
The reason for this article is not to slate JC but to remind LFC fans we were respected and renowned for being knowledgeable about football ...so we should refer to JC as a good player...not great...as there is a vast difference.
Thanks

So Carra was one of the best in Europe in 2005, yet also an example of us settling for 2nd best

Fergie can put aside his rivalry and praise Carragher, but you can't
an shambles.
Is that you Verbal Jouster? He used to hate Carra as well.

Amazing we have a so called fan who's gone to great lengths to pick errors in a long career which includes a large trophy haul and tried to make Carea sound like a poor player.
Don't forget the CL win when he was outstanding more or less all the way through and he had a big say in us holding on near the end before the penalty shootout. He's a player who will put his body on the line for the club and take responsibity when things go wrong.
An old addage that sums Carra up for me is 'he who never made a mistake never did much'
Even in his last season he's proved Brendan wrong who though he was surplus to requirements and once again his leadership qualitys and determination were needed to put some spine in the team.
Maybe next season OP, you will see how much we miss a player of Carras stature, and seriously, bring back Aqua? what a WUM.

What's the point of arguing when we Liverpool fans already rate him?
