Carra disappointed with Mascherano
Jamie Carragher believes former Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano "let himself down badly" by not playing against Manchester City.[LNB] The Argentina international's three-year stay at Anfield came to an end last week when he secured a big-money move to Barcelona.[LNB]But rather than receive a fitting farewell from the Liverpool supporters, Mascherano left the club in acrimonious circumstances.[LNB]Reports suggested that he refused to play in the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, which would have turned out to be his final game for the Reds.[LNB]Mascherano later denied the claims, insisting that he had spoken to manager Roy Hodgson and they both agreed he was not 'right to play'.[LNB]Carragher nevertheless believes his former team-mate will have regrets about the way his exit from Liverpool came about.[LNB]"Mascherano was great for Liverpool for three or four years and it was a privilege to play with him," said the defender.[LNB]"But he let himself down badly and that left a bad taste in the mouth.[LNB]"If he'd played in that match he would have got a great send-off and it all would have been fine.[LNB]"But he ruined that and I think he'll regret it."
