Liverpool's Carra admits he and Mascherano influenced Chelsea loss
Jamie Carragher says he and Javier Mascherano were to blame for Liverpool's defeat at Chelsea on Sunday.
Chelsea struck twice after Liverpool turned over possession and Carra said: “Games against Chelsea are notoriously tight and a bit of quality or a mistake is always going to be the thing that turns it one way or another.
“But we have lost the ball in midfield for their first and I felt myself that I should have done a bit better for their second one.
“I thought we played quite well and did all right for most of the game, yet we have still come away with a 2-0 defeat. It’s the small details that are so important at this level and we know that there are certain areas we have got to improve. There’s a gap at the top and we’ve got to close it.”
