[Sir Roger]

He looked absolutely done in at the end. He cant put in that performance every week but he gave absolutely everything in that game. Awesome display

Hes had some terrible stick over the last few months, most of it deserved. But I think he deserves praise for his performance last week.
A true Captains performance

Agreed, he was brilliant the other night and led by example.
It was great to see that from him after some difficult times this season.

he is never a wing back though mate.

Wednesday would suggest otherwise...

[Ben Patrick]

If your actually being serious then i suggest you look at every other time he has played full back.
He is a steady player in that position but nowhere near what you would call a wing back.
As a footballer, first touch passing, decision making in the final third etc he is nowhere near good enough.
If he played there he would be steady but not offer anywhere near enough going forwards.
Could you see him overlapping our right midfielder ?

Like he did on wednesday?

He did, but he does not have the legs to do that any more on  regular basis. Also he had a defensively minded player in Deggen in front of him backing him up allowing him to throw caution to the wind and pile forward.. but to me his forrays were all power and passion and not skillful. He is no Johnson as a RB.

9 times out of 10 when the ball is at carra's feet he panicks and hoofs it, he is poor in posession, one of worst players in that respect.
To suggest he would make a good wing back to me is ridiculous.
I suppose it depends on what you want from your wingbacks though.
I would want mine to help link defence and attack.
To provide a threat going forwards and to score the odd goal here and there and create quite a few.
He wouldnt do that.

[roberto green]

I dont know if anyone has mentioned Carras contribution on wednesday which has paved the way for the possibility of an upturn of our fortunes?
What a revelation as a wing back! Marauding down the line beating people, forcing corners, whipping in crosses. Unbelievable!
hes found his new position proving theres life in the old dog yet.
Well done the Bootle ball-bag...

less of the Bootle ball bag please

[Dundalk]

He had been leading by example lately and put in a real captains performance against Spurs on Wednesday. More of that please, it exactly what we need

[leep33]

Carra is a total legend and in my opinion would make a great manager for us!!

Are you saying he couldnt play like he played last wednesday ever again?
Really??

[Rockthekop]

Carragher is an out and out CB, great at defending and reading the game. 

If you need a solid RB he'll do the job but don't expect much in the attacking sense. 

Carra is as much a wing back as Kuyt is a top winger

see tonight

steady but unspectacular

[shawnk]

Other than the good things already mention about him but I thought he was also awful as RB. Getting past by their left winger so easily in the match against Wolves. IMO Carra should not be at right back as he's no longer as quick as before, There's even occasion where Masch has to help out.

Based on his latest games he should no longer be in the starting 11. Last night he was awful and this was down to lack of actual skills in several departments:

-pace
-control
-crossing
-flair
-passing
-creativity

Carra is through.

Don't be a fool, Carra is far from through as a CB.  As a RB everyone knows he's horrible so criticism when he plays that position is unfair.
