Jamie Redknapp's weekend watch: Carra deserves a bunch of credit

16 March 2009 01:59
COLOSSUS CARRA I spoke to Jamie Carragher on Saturday afternoon to congratulate him on another magnificent performance. He doesn't like playing at right back and only found out two minutes before kick off. Still, his performance was faultless. [LNB] Unsung hero: Jamie Carragher gets to grips with Ji-sung Park.[LNB]VOTE FOR VIDIC? Nemanja Vidic has had a mighty season. Talk has been rife that his displays could earn a rare victory for a defender in the Footballer of the Year award (the last one was Steve Nicol in 1989). I wonder if that's still the case. He didn't look like a Footballer of the Year on this show.

Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres have only started together ninetimes in the Premier League this season. They have a wonderfulunderstanding. Where would Liverpool be if they could have got themtogether more often?[LNB]CHEER FOR EBOUE He might not make a fantasy football line-up but Emmanuel Eboue is my player of the weekend for the character he showed in scoring twice for Arsenal and taking a penalty. It's bad enough when away fans boo you, but when it's your own fans it is draining. [LNB]CROUCH IS BACK Portsmouth had not scored an away goal since the turn of the year and the one at Middlesbrough was the first in the league for Peter Crouch since December 20. Pompey need Crouch scoring regularly to guide them to safety. [LNB]POINTING TO SURVIVAL? Of the teams occupying the bottom 12 places in the Premier League on Saturday morning, only Fulham and Tottenham won this weekend. It was the first away success of the season for Roy Hodgson's Fulham and other results made these victories more valuable. [LNB]NOT HAPPY READING Look away now if you're an Aston Villa fan. It's more than a month since Martin O'Neill's team won in the league and their next three games offer little chance of respite: Liverpool (a), Man Utd (a) and Everton (h). Hard to see how they can finish fourth now.[LNB] [LNB]
