I can't see anyone giving Carragher a lack of respect in this thread.

I wasnt being specific to this thread Hazell. But many people on here seem to have a real issue with him.

I think that's accurate, rightly or wrongly. Probably not the right place to discuss that though.

Think people in here have been simply discussing the footballing merits of his place in the squad/team.

Sad to see some people views on Carra lately, he has served the club superbly well and the lack of repsect he gets for it is something youd' expect from Chelsea fans.
I appreciate he's past his best days but give the man a break eh!

It's not sad to see its progression players get old and younger players take their place.

It's happened since the beginning of Football the sad part is people railing against it just because of where a player comes.

We didn't have these illogical reactions when the likes of Sami Hypiia or Steve Finnan were being replaced by the next generation.

Plus he's inexperienced, so naturally we can't dare risk playing him until that changes.

Groundhog Day has returned to RAWK yet again, this is all too reminscent of when the Agger/Skrtel Partnership was starting to come to fruition. A time when the Bootle Baggage's Royal Guard were out in full force defending their daredevil.

That's right. It would be crazy to play him before he's racked up at least 50 games. I'd wait until then.

Coates is ready...we didn´t buy him to let him sit on bench, actually we bought him becouse we couldn´t get Jones and we wanted Jones to play CB immediately, becouse Agger was injured that time as well...The reason Coates didn´t played that many for us is becouse of Aggers longer period without injury..

Coates needs to play immediately, otherwise he won´t learn nothing... he has more experience than Jones did for playing few games for Blackburn...Coates played high pressure matches for his country against best south america teams and was named player of the tournament..

Unfortunately Steve Clarke isn't registered so who do you suggest ?   
Alan Hansen or your mucker, that Carragher chap perhaps?

This game is too soon for Coates, if people can't see that then my only conclusion can be; is that their letting their dislike for Carragher on a personal level outweigh what is best for the team for this 90 minutes. Maybe next season with a few more games under his belt, but now, no.

What a laugh if he played Coates though eh! :lmao

Anyone following Slovakia game, is Skrtel playing, shame Agger is injured and ruins the great partnership. Carra will probably fill in yet I fear it with his slow pace and hoof tactics although  will probably make up for it with last ditch tackles and to be fair he has played along the ground bit more last game. Still definately need a DM to cover the area between CM and backs due to deeper line which is always evident with Carra in the side.
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.

You make him sound like some teenage recruit from Crewe. When in reality...


yep ridiculous he was a 20 year old recruit with 50 senior games to his credit.........whos looked shakey in two out of the three games he's played -  its like reading the youth and reserve thread and wondering why Silva, Wisdom, Sterling, Morgan, Sterling, Coady or Sterling should be playing - how can you argue against potential - when a player gets better the less he plays?

I thought Coates was signed not least for his aerial ability - same reason I thought Skrtel was signed - putting them together is that really a good thing - bit like adam and gerrard - its just not a good combo is it?

dinosaur speak but I thought we looked for one player to attack the ball the other to cover the second ball and for them to work as a pair - aren't these two both the attacking CB rather than the covering player? That would imply next season if Skrtel is absent Coates plays - Agger and its Carra or Wisdom or Wilson?
The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest — but the myth — persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.

Is Carra the only Liverpool player who is allowed to take his kid to the podium to receive a trophy? Are other players allowed to do that? That's why he is Mr. Liverpool. Anyone still doubt his influence in the Club?
Back to the topic, I hope Coates will be given more chances to start.

What has "local" got to do with anything? It's not relevant to the debate of Coates vs Carragher, but I know a fair few people thought in hindsight that allowing Carragher's 10-year-old son to be the second person to actually lift the trophy was a little inappropriate.

I'd love for us to start looking forward and utilising these players, or Coates, instead of Carra - in a similar way that Maxi/Kuyt, both starting for their countries yesterday, are making way for Henderson to get time to develop. Because they're the future, let's grow them in the team and maybe their talent will blossom and not whither away on the bench.

Reminds me when the brigade was out defending Carragher's position in the team at the start of the season, despite a mistake a game, thankfully they shut up when Agger and Skrtel finally got their chance and were too good to be dropped.

Coates should get his chance.

Thats it mate, people have an emotional attachment to carra and thus his mistakes will be brushed under the carpet. They remember him for the player he was and he was some player but he has looked anything but convincing this season. People will point out coates looked shaky against oldham, well carragher aswell but funny that won't get mentioned.

Our defence looked shaky as hell till we got agger and skrtel pairing and we seemed to be a more compact unit as a result.

This may seem like an attack on carra but its not, I've loved the guy over the years but his decline has been evident and to use experience as an argument to play him considering how poor he has been this year for me doesn't stick. The lack of experience and organisational skills were used as points for not pairing agger and skrtel but those were blown away the moment they paired together and showed they're both good enough to organise a defence and could deal with big games without carra holding there hand throughout the game.

It's got nothing to do with emotional attachment and if Kyrgiakos was still here, I think I'd opt for him over Coates. And it's not the same as with Flanagan and Robinson - we had no choice but to play them (and Robinson as a sub), and Flanagan had already impressed against City. I wouldn't like to throw Seb in unnecessarily against Arsenal in a high pressure game.

And I don't think it's anything to do with him being local, more to do with the fact that he's been at the club since way before that kid was even born - that's got to count for something in my book.

Nor would I, which was why I was surprised that, having hauled the lad up all those dancers and put him second in line behind Gerrard, he went on to snatch the wee lad's hand away from the trophy when the moment came. Conflicting messages for the little chap there Jamie.

I kind of thought it was as well, but only to a certain extent. The way I read it though is that Carra's seen the writing on the wall. He know's that was probably his last chance to lift a trophy with the club and he wanted his lad to be a part of it. I wouldn't begrudge him that to be honest.. And I don't think it's anything to do with him being local, more to do with the fact that he's been at the club since way before that kid was even born - that's got to count for something in my book.

I'd go along with that.

Sunday could easily be the last time he lifts a trophy for the club and I don't blame him for getting his lad up there with him. Especially after 15 years of service.

That said, if we win the FA Cup I don't think the same should happen again.

Is Carra the only Liverpool player who is allowed to take his kid to the podium to receive a trophy? Are other players allowed to do that? That's why he is Mr. Liverpool. Anyone still doubt his influence in the Club?


To be fair we don't know if Carra was allowed either. He just did it. I'm sure if Dirk had grabbed his kid and just walked him up there he wouldn't have been stopped.

I mean who is gonna mess with this?
