Carragher: We have the desire to beat Everton
Jamie Carragher has admitted to feeling a little anxiety when facing Everton but refuses to accept any accusations of lacking desire by the Reds when it comes to the derby games.
Speaking to The Liverpool Echo, Carragher made his feelings clear on the subject.
“My feelings haven’t changed one bit,”
“There is always that little bit of extra anxiety, which comes from the fear of losing.
“You talk about results being more important than performances but, ideally, you want to put the two together.
“But when you think over the last decade we’ve probably had our best ever run of results against Everton.
“Normally in the past, whenever Everton have beaten Liverpool, the accusation was that they wanted it a little bit more.
“So I’m glad in the last decade we have turned that around and hopefully we’ll be able to keep the run going into the next decade.
“The important thing is that you could never accuse us of lacking desire in these games.”
“For me, the derby is always the biggest game of the season and this is no different,”
All that said Carragher still acknowledged that the three points is the target and then they can concentrate on the following games.
“We’ve just got to make sure that we get three points and then we can start thinking about the games that follow on, as the race for the top four is getting pretty tight now.
“It changes from week to week and with teams around us dropping points, we’ve got to make sure we are in a position to take advantage.
“But we can’t look too far ahead as we have got a big enough game of our own to deal with.”
He right there, concentrate on our own stuff and let others worry about what they do.
