Carra urges fans to rally round Reds
-
Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool’s fans to remain patient as the club’s title challenge progresses, with the defender warning that there could be more afternoons of frustration following a disappointing home draw to Fulham at the weekend.
The Reds remain joint top of The Premier League after an impressive start to the season but that did not stop some supporters voicing their frustration as Rafa Benitez’s side tried and failed to unlock Fulham’s defence in a 0-0 draw at Anfield.
And after admitting that the tension in the stands affected the players on the pitch, Carragher has called on Liverpool fans to have more faith in the side as they chase a first league title since 1990.
"People shouldn't get too downhearted that we've drawn at home to Fulham," said Carragher in The Guardian.
"The crowd, especially at Anfield, want us to win so much that it transmits itself down on to the pitch at times. You could feel that when we were trying to get the goal in the second half on Saturday.
"The supporters have to realise we are in November and not March or April yet. Like us, they are so passionate to win the title but sometimes that passion can bowl you over. We have to all stay patient.
“It's a long race and it's not the be-all and end-all if we draw a home game in November.
“Don't get me wrong, the fans are great for us. But the fans, and the players, all of us together have to realise we have to be patient.
“It is a long, long race and I'm sure there'll be a few more games like the Fulham one before the end of the season."
