I hoped Kenny would prove ruthless but so far there's no evidence and plenty of scope for him to continue to play Carragher citing the increased games next season.
I copped a bit of flack in the 'How ruthless is Kenny Dalglish' thread for suggesting we wait and see what he does before proclaiming him as calculating and ruthless as many were saying he would be. Just because he was 20 odd years ago didnt mean he was the same person, or manager I said.
Even went as far to say Carra would be a good measuring stick. As he would be the first one in line to be cut given his abject performances.
But then Carra got injured and Kenny got a free pass. Up until that point Carra was very much still in Kenny's plans, despite his form. But then comes the injury and I bet Kenny couldn't believe his luck, indeed given how man penalties we've missed and how many times we've hit the woodwork he probably used all of his luck up with Jamie getting injured.
He had no decision to make, Carra wasnt dropped he was injured, Skrtel and Agger did the rest. They kept Carra out of the team, not Kenny.
But now Agger's not available, and who is it that's stepped in? Not the upstart Copa America winning, young player of the tournament Coates. Someone who's shown promise this season in his performances. Its the 34 year old, hardly had a good game in the past 18 months, revert to type Jamie Carragher.
How ruthless is that?
