Carra

A big smack in the face for all his detractors tonight - worth his wages in experience alone.

 

Actual living LFC legend!

Excellent. Reminds me of Sami coming back and dominating at Old Trafford in 08/09.

Quality.

 

Spot on from Rodgers to play him tonight.

Like a rock, let down by others.

Indeed. Lots disagreed beforehand though.

Who cares?

 

I disagreed beforehand, and was wrong. Not sure why that makes Carra's performance any better for some people on here.

 

He was ace.

He was ace.

 

Because some 'fans' really questoined whether he was worth a new contract.

 

And you're right, he was ace - exactly what we need in the big games.

 

When he's not playing we should have him behind Pepe with a loud speaker!

His organisation really is a boost isn't it. He'd have loved that game, tonight. His cup of tea!

He had a very good game, not sure if his inclusion made us sit deeper though. I haven't seen us that deep for a while. Maybe it was just Arsenal pressing.

[yellow jumper]

think we set out to sit deep and break intelligently. decent tactic there (swansea did the same when they won). carra was excellent in helping us do it.

In our last home game with Carra at CB we played the highest line we've played in years.

[Red Yoda]

Awesome

 

simply awesome .

[D.Boon]

Shame he's not 5 years younger. A magnificent servant to the club.

[RafaShanks]

I'd go with Carra and Skrtel against Citeh, if he can handle 2 games in 5 days.

he's played in many of those games.

 

i think he defends the penalty box really well. did it fantastically yesterday. think his contribution is being a little overstated other than that. we still got deep. we still got disorganised.

Coaching role I wonder?

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

s***.

This is the moment. I am now old.

[Flasher]

Maybe the last two games have made him realise that his body isn't up to it? Fine on the pitch, but maybe he's struggled with recovery and thinks that's it. Maybe.

 

Shame he'll never win a league winners medal. He deserves one.

There's a statement on the Offal now.

Jamie Carragher has today announced that he is to leave Liverpool Football Club at the end of the season and will be retiring from football.

 

The Reds defender has enjoyed a glittering career at Anfield, having joined the club's youth system aged nine before going on to make his first-team debut in January 1997 against Middlesbrough. He has subsequently made more than 700 senior appearances for Liverpool, winning a host of major honours. He is second only to Ian Callaghan in club's all-time appearance table.

 

The 35-year-old has made the announcement this week to end speculation surrounding his future.

 

He will continue to concentrate his efforts on helping Brendan Rodgers' side achieve success in the Barclays Premier League this season and the on-going Europa League campaign.

 

Carragher said: "This will be my last season at Liverpool and my last as a professional footballer.

 

"I'm making this announcement now because I don't want the manager or the club to be answering questions on my future when I've already decided what I am going to do.

 

"I will be fully committed between now and the end of the season to doing the very best for Liverpool Football Club, as I've done my entire career since joining aged just nine-years-old.

 

"It has been a privilege and an honour to represent this great club for as long as I have and I am immensely proud to have done so and thankful for all the support I have had. There are many memories I want to share and people to thank, but now is not the time for that.

 

"I won't be making any further comment on this decision until the end of the season; all our focus and concentration should be on achieving the best possible finish in the league this season and trying to win the last remaining trophy we are competing in."

 

Liverpoolfc.com and LFC TV will be producing a special tribute to Jamie Carragher to be broadcast upon his retirement at the end of the season, featuring an extensive interview with the man himself reflecting on his illustrious career.
