It does not matter if Jamie thinks his skills cannot cope up with the young guys anymore. It does not matter if he thinks he cannot do it right now. Jamie Carragher plays very well with his team club and it is not his fault if England’s manager could find a place for him to shine.
He has the experience which could prove valuable for the team and as such, he should be hopeful and proud of carrying the England flag on his shoulders. Steve McLaren would still be talking to Jamie and hopefully they could mend their difference and find a suitable strategy to make the most of his capacity.
Jamie has this to say:
All I can do is play as well as I can for Liverpool. I’ve never played that well for England because I’ve played a lot of the time at full-back.
There’s that many people he’s [England manager Steve McClaren] played ahead of me. It’s a game of opinions.
But when you’re at my age they are all younger than me, they are all going to improve and maybe I won’t at my age.
I’m 29, I’ve been doing it for eight years and obviously I haven’t proved it enough so it’s not going to change now is it?
It’s not like I’ve just got in the squad and I’ve jumped out.
But it’s looking like that and as I said, if there was a major injury crisis and the four centre-halves who he obviously picks ahead of me are all injured and he’s absolutely desperate then of course I would (come back), yeah.
