Furthermore, it's true that he praises rivals with regularity and prefers England to Liverpool. Still, he's a fine player, a local boy and has had his moments of inspiration. Personally, I don't give the captaincy question the priority that Jaimie does. Keane was a great captain for Man. U., but these days Fergie's men seem to manage OK without highly motivating captains. I think Carragher is very important fior Liverpool and I don't really think his influence would increase if he was captain. The ideal situation is to have a team of winners, so you don't need just one man to provide motivation.John Wallenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06100139776153770958noreply@blogger.com
