Jamie Carragher: We must keep our cool in Merseyside derby

Mar 28 2008

by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo

JAMIE CARRAGHER today called on the Liverpool players to keep their cool in the white heat of the Merseyside derby day atmosphere. The 207th Merseyside derby takes place at Anfield on Sunday and the Reds defender believes it is more important than ever that passions do not boil over, particularly at a time when the Football Association is putting increasing pressure on players to show greater respect to referees. A veteran of a decade’s worth of clashes between the Mersey giants, Carragher knows it is vital that Liverpool are up for the game but he also insists their exuberance cannot be allowed to spiral out of control. He said: “People talk about games against Everton being about passion, but they are also about keeping your head and using your brain. “The players on both sides want to win so much. That’s only natural because it is such a big game. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT “But you have to make sure you keep cool and use the ball as much as you possibly can because otherwise you can lose your way.” Full story at Liverpool Echo website - click here
