Carra the brat
So Jamie Carragher has retired from international football has he? Stop throwing your toys from the pram.
You’re not an international centre-half, so be it. But neither are you in a position to throw a big strop and retire from your country. Playing for England should be the pinnacle of anyone’s career (as long as they’re English, otherwise it makes no sense…). There should be a Roy of the Rovers feeling about it, wherever you play. If Carra isn’t good enough to displace Terry and Rio, then he should knuckle down and keep trying. I understand his frustration at being played out of position, but playing at all should be enough.
For the inept MacLaren, it should make his defensive decisions that bit easier. A fully fit King should now be third choice, with Woodgate filling in as required. And ex-Wolves superstar J-Lo should also warrant a squad place, especially given his aptitude at filling in at left-back, though I’m sure Steve will bottle it and select Dawson instead.
