He's a great CB no doubt about that, but I'd expect a little more from him at RB considering thats where he used to play before Rafa joined the club.

Carragher played at RB for years but was very ordinary.  Finnan was a better RB IMO.  His best position is CB, I don't expect much from him at RB. 

He's not the rock he once was but we've got the best years out of him.  It won't be long before we need to think about a bringing in a quality CB to partner Agger. 

If we could merge Agger's ground skills with the big Greeks aerial ability we'd have some player.

You mentioned his hoofball tactics and I said he didnt seem to do it much against spurs. I was wondering why?

SORE TOE MAYBE?

He's been awful I'd drop him like a sack of spuds.

And play who? Not been his best season, but he's still been relatively solid. His ball hoofing antics have to stop, though.

At right back I'd definately opt for Darby over him.

And at the moment if Agger is fit I'd start him ahead of Carra at CB with Nick the Greek. But I'm not sure he is fit so Carra would play ahead of Skertel.

And in the meantime if I were Rafa, I'd make Carra play two touch football all week with the priority in keeping the ball on the deck. Penalise him if it goes over head height, take 5,000 grand off his wages everytime he hoofs it in training. That will get him thinking.

Yeah, and we'll see sideways passes and opponents pressuring mistakes out of the back four

so you like hoof ball then.

whatever floats yer boat.

The papers are running a story that Carra wont be getting a new contract and he will be on his way....

[Aussie Style]

If we sign Kjaer its not too far fetched that he'd leave. His made no secret of the fact that he'll leave if he becomes a squad player.

[leep33]

He is still a good player but i fear that age may be catching him up, it would not be the same though to see him wearing any shirt other than ours.

Did I say that? My point was that if the players start dawdling at the back even more than they do then we'd be conceding two goals a game.

What they should be doing is passing it to their full-backs or the holding midfielder, not trying to be Beckenbauer or do something else that simply isn't in their repetoire

So we'd ditch Carra ahead of Kyrgiakos?!? With Agger being injury prone, Skrtel not much better and without a back-up RB that Rafa trusts, Carra should still get plenty of games.

Knowing Rafa he'll probably play him in midfield or one the wing!

Jamie Carragher unfazed by possible Liverpool exit 

Carragher made his Liverpool debut back in 1997
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has said he would have "no problem" leaving Anfield should his hometown club decide not to extend his current contract.

The 32-year-old has just over a year left on his contract, but has yet to begin negotiations over a new deal.

He told the Sunday Times: "I'll still play my best and if I have to move then I'll move. It wouldn't bother me."

Carragher has spent his entire career at Anfield, making over 500 appearances for the club over the last decade.

The Bootle-born central defender, who made his debut against Middlesbrough in 1997, is one of the few home-grown products to regularly make Liverpool's starting line-up.

He has been a mainstay of the side this season, with only midfielders Dirk Kuyt and Lucas Leiva making more Premier League appearances for the Reds.

606: DEBATE
It is beyond me that we haven't at least offered a one-year extension to take him to 2012

However, Liverpool's vice captain acknowledged he may have to look elsewhere if he wants to continue his playing career.

"The club will give me a new contract if they want to," he added. "It's a club thing. It's down to them. I'll keep playing and see where it takes me."

The versatile defender quit international football in 2007 after becoming disillusioned with a lack of opportunities in the England team and said he was "not scared of making big decisions".

Manager Rafael Benitez said the player wanted to concentrate on completing this season before beginning talks on a new deal.

"There is no news about Carragher," said Benitez. "We have spoken to him and he was very clear that at this moment he just wants to concentrate on doing his job.

"I think Jamie prefers the situation as it is. The information I have is that he is comfortable with how things are and that he wants to wait."

Is this the star of the end of any English players at our club?

I think every should be done to keep him at the club, ok you dont have to play him but someone like him brings so much more to the team off the pitch.

He and SG is the true Liverpool FC, once they are gone there will be no going back (well under Rafa...and that is not  a dig at him, its just the way he see that can build a team).
