Jamie Carragher brought his Liverpool career to an end in 2013.

Having come through the Merseyside club’s academy the former defender went on to play for the Reds an incredible 737 times, while collecting major trophies such as the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup along the way.

Carragher never got his hands on a Premier League trophy and the defender may have been kicking himself if Liverpool went on to win the English top-flight title the year after he retired as the Reds went close in 2013/14 under Brendan Rodgers.

Had he been a different age, the Sky Sports pundit would have realised that dream under Jurgen Klopp.

In 2016, Liverpool advanced to the League Cup final having got past Stoke City in the semi-finals on penalties.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Carragher used this as an opportunity to ask Klopp if he could get a game for Liverpool whilst the Merseyside club waited for centre-backs to return to full fitness.

Klopp laughed off the suggestion and responded by saying: “I had a lot of questions like this in the past.

If not, stay in the studio.”

It is fair to say Carragher would not have been ready for 120 minutes around that time but if the Liverpool legend was still playing, could he have competed at that level?

Carragher will never be remembered as the best centre-back of his generation as the former England star had to compete with John Terry and Rio Ferdinand at the time.

However, the centre-back would have struggled in the modern game at the highest level as current centre-back’s need everything to be successful.

Carragher would not have the recovery speed and the power needed to deal with a striker such as Erling Haaland, nor did he have the long-range passing of Virgil van Dijk to help pick out free wingers quickly.

The game has changed a lot since the Liverpool legend retired and the centre-back will be thankful he played in the era he did as he impressed Reds fans many times with his displays throughout his playing career.
