Seriuosly why is Carra not first choice...........

[anfieldgaz]

For England????

 

Iam Welsh, so as far as England are conserned I am not that botherd,but whan it comes to one of our own i have a vested intrest.

 

So on form both He(Carra) and Terry should be the firsrt choice come Germany!! But why not????? Am i missing something here or not?

 

 

I mean Campbell.......we all know about him this season.

 

Ferdinand....imo overated but Sven seeams to place both these above our Carra.. I for one am totally bemused by it.

 

Comments please.

There is a distinct lack of pace and international experience in a partnership of Terry and Carra. I agree that they are the best in the Premiership at the moment but I can understand why they dont play together at the heart of the defence.

 

Let me state for the record that I am no fan of Rio Ferdinand either !

ok ill go along with the pace thing.

 

But lets be honest both Carra and Hyypia dont possses much of that, but in Europe those two are unbeatable I dont see alot of other world players with too much pace, they all posses a lot of skill but not much pace about them, and in thew world cup i cant see anyone else comming out of the blocks too quick to worry carra and terry!

I would counter that and say that the work that Rafa Benitez puts into defending and that plonker SGE do - are worlds apart ! Actually, I would love to know what kind of coaching those guys actually get from Eriksson !

theres your answer.

 

plus he picks his team based on what the media says.

I think Ferdinand and Terry is the better partnership, particularly when it comes to a world cup, like it or not, Rio Ferdinand is a better player than Carra. I wouldn't swap him, but I can see why, in the world cup, when it comes to the crunch, Ferdinand will play. He, like most of them, is a big stage performer. His best is better than Carra's.

[Guest The Defender]

Why not play Ferdinand and Terry at CB.. and play Carra a right back.. He's better than Neville...

 

Also i prefer Carra at LB if Cole cant make it..

Agree with that, Ferdinand's height (England aren't that big a team) and goal threat from set pieces also count in his favour

 

Deffo put Carra in ahead of Neville though

They will have Robinson behind them, who is slow as a tank, off his line, and across the ground

not sure I agree with that

 

As a footballer rio is better, but not as a defender....

[Big G Superhero]

Too right ^

 

As importantly, if defending was the army, Ferdinand would have been court-martialled for cowardice in the line of fire by General Carragher long ago...
