After Wednesday’s 2-2 thriller against Arsenal at the Emirates, Liverpool boss, Brendan Rodgers, was quizzed about the possible starting line-up for Liverpool against Man City at the Etihad this coming Sunday.<\/p>\n

Brendan Rodgers, the straight-talking Ulsterman, commented: “Yes, Jamie is playing.”<\/p>\n

Brendan Rodgers has previously\u00a0spoken of the need of leadership in the back four at Liverpool and Carras’ re-introduction to the starting eleven has been successful, certainly against Norwich in a 5-0 victory and a commendable display in drawing with Arsenal’s fire-power\u00a0last Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

We may have drawn 2-2 but, looking at the game again earlier today, without Carraghers’ defending, we could easily have lost the match.<\/p>\n

Where does this leave Martin Skrtel?<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Slovakian defender is solid, steady and uncompromising but seemingly lacks the leadership qualities that Brendan Rodgers is looking for in his back-line.<\/p>\n

Danny Agger is a more graceful centre-half, good on the ball and good in attack, yet the reality is that Liverpool are letting in far too many goals this Season and last.<\/p>\n

Jamie Carragher may have reached his 35th birthday but he is still a vital member of the\u00a0squad and first-team this Season.<\/p>\n

Expect him to\u00a0galvanise the Liverpool defence against Man City on Sunday.<\/p>\n
