I always find it amusing when people say no one has a heart like Carra , no denying Carra has a big heart , but it's that old chestnut of the stereotypical English warrior type centre half. For years people ( intelligent football fans ) have known Carvalho has been Chelsea's best centre half , yet the tabloids and idiot football fans always hold Brave John Terry up as Chelsea's bestest centre half because he puts his body on the line for the cause. Carra is a legend , no doubts but we must move on. In all honesty Carra has been deteriorating since Athens , and Skrtel and Danny have been superior than him for about 18 months now. The reason Carra makes more last ditch tackles is because of the mess he gets himself into in the first place , it's usually his mistake that leads to him needing to make a hollywood last ditch tackle , Skrtel and Agger don't make them last ditch blocks as often as they deal with things first time around.
As Rapcage said above , last season at West Ham should have been the eye opener for every single Liverpool fan and indeed football fan that Carra needed phased out , but some are still clinching to past glories. The lad Hines is an average player , but Carra made him look like a world beater. It wasn't even skill , it was just direct and with a bit off pace and he did Carrra every single time on the outside. Lets move on guys , for the best of the team.
