Jamie Carragher 300[LNB]JAMIE Carragher is itching to for a return to action against Manchester City.[LNB]A one match suspension following his red card at Fulham forced the Liverpool defender to sit out the 2-2 draw with Birmingham prior to the international break.[LNB]He watched the game from the Main Stand and believes the Reds did enough to take maximum points.[LNB]Instead, it added to a run that has brought just one win in nine matches.[LNB]It is a statistic Carragher is eager to turn around, starting with City this weekend.[LNB]'I was at the Birmingham game and, like everyone, I was disappointed with the result,' he said.[LNB]'Obviously the run we've been on at the moment hasn't been great so we could have done with a win to get things going again.[LNB]'The longer the run goes on you've probably got to look a little bit deeper than just bad luck or refereeing decisions. We've all got to improve on the pitch. But watching that Birmingham game we were very unlucky.[LNB]'The goal Cameron Jerome scored to put them 2-1 up just before half-time was an absolute wonder-strike. But on the balance of play and chances we created, I came away from it thinking we were unlucky not to get all three points.[LNB]'When you consider the pressure on us going into the game, plus the players we had missing, it only added to the frustration.'
