Liverpool veteran Jamie
Carragher believes there are
plenty of positives the Reds can
take from their crushing defeat
to Manchester United, after
their Steven Gerrard-inspired
comeback.
Dimitar Berbatov claimed a hat-
trick to secure a 3-2 win for
Manchester United yesterday, but
it ’s not all doom and gloom at
Anfield.
“Any time you lose a big game,
you are always bitterly
disappointed," said Carragher.
"To come back from two goals
down was a fantastic effort from
the lads but I thought we did
well for the 90 minutes.
"We were not really asked too
many questions and there are
not too many teams who can say
that after going to Old Trafford.
"If you look at the goals they
scored, it was a similar in a way
to what happened at Manchester
City. Pepe (Reina) hasn't really
had a lot to do yet we have still
ended up conceding three times.
"The first was poor from a set
piece, you have to hold your
hands up and say the second
from Berbatov was world class;
he is capable of that.
"But for the third, I was really
disappointed with myself. I
should have done better with the
challenge on him. It's the small
details that count and it's so
frustrating that (United) have
been able to get the win.
"It's a funny situation, really. Last
week, we were not happy with
the performance at Birmingham
but came away with a point; this
week we're happy enough with
the performance but have come
away with nothing."
Carragher added: “There is still a
long way to go. Though we have
not started great in terms of
results, there are a lot of things
to take into account and this is a
transitional time. But we have
just got to remain positive.
"A few wins and everything will
look different. We have got two
home games coming up in the
Premier League and we need to
make them count. We've had a
great start in the Europa League
and we just have to make sure
we keep on believing."
