Carragher: FA Cup exit a positive for Liverpool

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes they can take positives from a recent defeat.

The Reds had been on the hunt for an unprecedented quadruple of trophies this season.

However, a loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter final has ended that dream.

“When you're saying, 'stopped the quadruple', no club has ever done it before. I go back to what Liverpool did a couple of years ago when they ended up losing out on the two biggest ones in the Premier League and Champions League," Carragher said on The Overlap Fan Debate.

“I don't think there was any way that Liverpool were going to win four trophies. I actually, at the start of the FA Cup run, I wanted Liverpool to get beat that game. Once the game starts, you always want your team to win.

“I was a little bit like that in the United game but then the way United won it and the way [Neville] was celebrating. I think the two-week break, surely that can help you slightly in terms of the league."
