The CONCACAF Champions League does not have the fame of its European counter-part. Part of that is because at this time the CCL has a single significant league. The Seattle Sounders could help rewrite that second sentence with a win in Wednesday night's match in Costa Rica against CS Herediano. Nine points in just three matches with two of the remaining at home changes the way Sigi Schmid can manage his roster for the rest of Group D and MLS Regular Season play.

Is Jamie Carragher Still a Certain Starter for Liverpool?

AnfieldIndex Liverpool FC Stats | Liverpool FC Blog | Liverpool FC Forum Follow me on Twitter @joescouse_lfc At the age of 33, time is against Jamie Carragher. This season more than ever, his status as a first choice starter is under intense scrutiny.

Nothing from me I was at Dad's for his birthday. Saw the MOTD highlights and it looked like perhaps we were a shade unlucky: Kasami flagged offside (he'll get his first goal soon, eh?) when it looked touch and go, Ruiz hitting the post from close in when a goal seem more likely. Really though you wouldn't have expected us to unlock a Roy Hodgson defence away from home and 0-0 was to be expected.

Below is a comparison of individual statistics from Henderson and Kuyt's last four league games when played on the right of a 4-2-2-2. Formation notation is subjective, especially with this season's group of players, but these are how I saw each formation at the start of matches. For Henderson, that's wins over Wolves and Bolton, the draw against Sunderland, and loss at Stoke.

Afterwards, opinions ranged from Andy Carroll having finally shown something of his worth as more than a target for long clearances to him having done nothing in particular to rewrite the gargantuan failure narrative he's been saddled with since arriving at Liverpool for £35M in January. Sometimes those wildly divergent opinions even came from the same pundit.

If nothing against Brighton or Wolves was going to convincingly answer the questions left behind by the Tottenham debacle, at the least fans could hope nothing that happened would make the players involved seem any worse. And if Andy Carroll's first positive performance of the season at least set out a convincing blueprint for the player moving forward, Charlie Adam's performance only left more questions despite forcing a Wolverhampton own goal.
