Jamie Carragher

So I think Rafa done a great job in difficult circumstances at times.

There's no doubt both of those managers were of a similar cloth, I would say, where a big part of them was being balanced, I would say.

You can say defensive at times.

I think what Rafa did is Rafa built a team from the back and it was solid.

Even going through the Champions League, we kept a lot of clean sheets in that.

The next season, I think we kept 33 clean sheets in 2006 when we won the FA Cup.

But there's no doubt he was more of a cautious manager than a...

probably completely opposite to Sir Alex Ferguson but very much in the mode of Jose Mourinho and he's won plenty of Premier League titles so I'm not sure it's just down to the style of play but I just think when we eventually got the players that he wanted in terms of Torres comes in

He pushes Stevie further forward.

When you've really got world class at the top end of the pitch, it was a great balance.

And that team we had in 2009, when you just picked us for the title, I don't think that team was a defensive team by any means.

There's no doubt what cost us the league that season was drawing too many games at home.

So you could say, could we have been more adventurous in games that maybe you talk to me about situation with Ferguson when he's thrown substitutes on, you've almost got no one at the back or two at the back.

We never went like that in games.

So maybe that's something that you can

maybe look back in.

But I think managers with his style have won the league before.

I think even Conte was like that.

I think even the Leicester team that won the league, Jose as well.

But as I said, probably being more adventurous with maybe 20 minutes, half an hour to go was maybe something that maybe Rafa wasn't, certainly compared to the teams you had and the manager you had.
