Like you, and most LFC fans we've not seen enough of him to form an opinion. The few times I've seen him he looks very competent in both directions. He has a tendency to make silly mistakes and look caught out of position quite often but if that's a reusult of the very limited time in the team or if it reflects his true quality I don't know. One thing I know is that I wonder why Brendan persists with Carra. If he's gonna suck up to the Kop at least he's gorra do it without insulting its intelligence which I think he does when he pick Carra ahead of Coates.
That pretty much sums it up nicely, Martin. It's one of those where he 'looks like he might' or 'he looks to have' but there's no hard confirmation to tip the scales one way or the other.
Seems much more of a certainty at International, than club level.
As for Carra, it's hard to know the manager's thinking. Admittedly, he's been used less than last season, so has made fewer mistakes, but this surely has to be his last season, at last
playing for us, but giving him a last hurrah must cause Coates' progress to be stunted.
It's the same with Gerrard. If he was a younger player, or maybe less of a 'name' then would he be getting as much game time as he has based purely on performances given and not on the 'possibility' of what he 'may' do.
I think his continued international career is doing nothing for us and will become more detrimental with each extra, pointless game he plays.
Somehow I can't see him doing 'a Carra' or 'a Scholes' and knocking it on the head to prolong his contribution at club level.
