There is no topic that Jamie Carragher and the other island ‘loudmouths’ haven’t covered, nothing he hasn’t commented on. He also often had to bite his tongue because his forecasts did not turn out to be correct.When Manchester United paid 57,370,000 euros to Ajax this summer for Lisandro Martinez, thus fulfilling Erik ten Hag’s wish, the expert consultant claimed that the Argentinian stopper did not have the quality to play in the Premier League. More precisely, that the Red Devils will suffer because of his height if the Dutch expert tries with four at the back.##NAJAVA_MECA_7006626##Caragher couldn’t be more mistaken. Lisandro Martinez has become a pillar of Manchester United’s defense, he is irreplaceable in the starting line-up, he has absolutely no problem dealing with opposing offensive players and does not suffer in aerial duels. Argentinian’s flaws are hidden well at Old Trafford, and the former Liverpool ace changed his mind.”Lisandro Martinez is brilliant. When you’re that short, to play as a stopper, you have to be a special player. Every player has weaknesses, the best hide them or make sure not to reveal them. He is a really good player and he surprised me with the way he handles himself”, Carragher was delighted with the Argentine sweeper.Praises do not stop there…”He is important for the dressing room of Manchester United, for the team spirit. I was watching the game a few weeks ago and he was a substitute, they scored a goal in the end and he was involved in the celebrations. Also, at the World Cup in the Argentina shirt, we saw his fighting spirit. United feel more powerful with him and Casemiro”.Gentle reminder that Lisandro Martinez in his first Premier League season has scored more headed goals (1), than Jamie Carragher in his ENTIRE 17-year Premier League career (0), but you won’t believe who slandered the other for being “too small” for the league. pic.twitter.com/0IqOJEFBVN— UF (@UtdFaithfuls) February 9, 2023 Jamie Carragher now has no complaints about the performances of the Argentine, he is enchanted by Lisandro Martinez – but the Liverpudlian sang a completely different song a few months ago.”One of Ten Hag’s problems is the signing of Lisandro Martinez. We should never judge managers and jump to conclusions about players, but I am convinced that the back line with him as one of the back four will not work well. Maybe he could be a left back, maybe he could play at the back as one of the three. But, as one of the four in the line, he cannot play in the Premier League”, said Carragher at the beginning of the season.
