Looking back at the era of Gerrard and Carragher, I wonder now what sort of atmosphere was created at the club. Not laying the blame with them but I think we have a mich more inclusive culture these days.
Sorry mate but I think you are taking your new hatred of Carra a tad too far, you cannot compère the two era’s , in the Carra/Gerard era we had a few managers trying to implement their own philosophy in a dressing room no where near as tight as what we have now, also the quality is much better and as a club everyone from the chief exec to the wonderful dinner ladies & cleaners are all singing from the same song sheet, we certainly didn’t have that then and perhaps that’s the real reason we were not as successful, the spitting incident was disgusting as you say but ffs mate you don’t half hold a grudge,
Everyone makes mistakes and Carra made a monumental one that day, yes he should have known better and yes he should have held back his frustration/ anger but let it go fella, it’s gone and I’m sure Carra deeply regrets his actions, I agree that at times Carra comes across as being bigger than his station allows, but that is just him big headed & arrogant, that doesn’t show him in a good light granted but I guess you either like it or lump it,
I’d rather remember Carra and what he did for us on the pitch rather than what he is off it, his continuous shouting and encouragement of players is legendary and to be fair put players in their place at times when it was needed, I remember the hundreds of tackles he made and the countless interceptions that prevented goals against, and who can ever forget his performance in Istanbul, that’s what I remember of him rather than a one off spitting incident that was so out of character,
At times I too do not like what he says, or some of his comments and will call him out on them, but I will always admire and respect & be grateful for what he gave to LFC.
