Jamie Carragher: Come in No. 23. Your time is up

Is it purely coincidence the fact that Liverpool have conceded only three goals in the last three matches and in those three matches Jamie Carragher has been absent? I hate to say it, but clearly not.

Pressure of being the favourites

The visit of Norwich to Anfield this weekend makes me just as nervous if not more nervous than last weekend against United. Obviously on paper the United game was a harder game than Saturday’s fixture but like many commentators have said “A football game is not won on paper”.

Liverpool on top despite the Result

So, what can I say? Same old Liverpool, failed to capitalize on arguably their best performance of the season against a spirited if lackluster Manchester United side.

I only pipe up when Liverpool are playing rubbish or when there’s been some enormous upset. So, you may ask, you got three points yesterday and got through to the next round of the Carling Cup so why are you bothering us?
