Liverpool boss Hodgson likens Carragher to Carlos Alberto in his pomp!

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has likened Jamie Carragher to Brazilian great Carlos Alberto!

Versatile Carragher filled in at right-back as the injured Glen Johnson's replacement and helped Liverpool record only their second Premier League win of the season on Sunday with a hard-earned 2-1 win over Blackburn.

Hodgson singled out Carragher for special praise, he said: "We were much more incisive, we got behind them more, we got behind them down the flanks, and Jamie Carragher was bombing down there like Carlos Alberto of old.

"We didn't concede too much space either and were winning the ball back quickly. It was the right sort of performance but we've got to give another 29 of those.

"If we can do that, we won't go too far wrong but there's a lot of work to be done here - everyone knows it."
