Talk:Jamie Carragher

Things to work on to better the article :

• As well as being a leader, he is also seen as the joker of the team. His determination and attitude on the pitch, his humble nature off it, and his willingness to stick to his roots, have made him the player most fans identify with best. is a bit too POV oriented.
• Whether out-and-out is explained or wikilinked.
• As a result, he has been described as a victim of his own versatility. shouldn't be part of the article.
• Club career section is a bit big, maybe subsectionning it would help the reading.
• again coming on a substitute, this doesn't really make sense, IMO.
• Because of this he would be deployed to fill in wherever there was a hole, ultimately harming his ability to hold down a first team position of his own. should be referenced.
• By this time Carragher had become a firm fans' favourite for his determination, and "no-nonsense" style of defending. not sure it is appropriate for an encyclopedia article.
• He hit the headlines in January 2002 during an FA Cup tie against Arsenal. which headlines ... local, international ... if it pertains to the subject of the paragraph, it would be nicer to have somewhat of a background to the story.
• troublesome knee ... could be replaced by injured knee or something else to give it more NPOV I think.

  In that same paragraph ... the disrepute charge given meant what? did he miss matches because of that?

• The prose needs a bit of tweaking ... it is ok but it misses in the club career section.
• horror tackle, should be changed to horrendous or a synonym.
• In the second half of the season, he made a terrific comeback making 24 further appearances. are there sources to back that fact.
• forming what has become one of the best central defensive partnerships in Europe. by which source? or by whom?
• In 1996, before signing a professional contract or making his league debut, Carragher made his debut for the England under-21 team. ... the second debut should be changed to Carragher started off with
• On 1st July 2006 Carragher was one of three players to have a penalty saved by Ricardo Pereira, as England yet again succumbed on penalties to exit the 2006 World Cup in the quarter finals against Portugal. Carragher, who had been brought on as a substitute for Aaron Lennon in the dying moments of the game, presumably with the "shoot-out" in mind, was the most unfortunate of the three players who missed, as he scored with his first attempt but was forced to re-take the kick by the referee, who had not blown his whistle. Carragher then saw his second effort saved. is a bit to specific to go with the breadth of the article (maybe shortening it to 1 sentence if it is absolutely necessary).
• There aren't any references (only 1) in the reference section pertaining to the biggest sections which are about his career accomplishments.
• The article isn't purely NPOV.
• Too many profile links in the external links section. Lincher 23:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC) (edit)
