Carra: I'm pleased with derby CV
Jamie Carragher has declared himself pleased with a derby record that allows him to count the number of defeats to Everton over a 16-year career on one hand.
Carragher has been on the winning side 16 times against the Blues and endured just five defeats.
Yesterday's derby at Anfield was a ninth draw for the Bootle-born defender, who retires at the end of this campaign.
"There was a lot of talk before the game about the fact that it was my last derby and people were saying 'We want to win for Jamie' and stuff like that," Carragher told the Echo.
"But also in the back of my head I knew that Evertonians would have loved to be able to say they beat me in my last derby.
"I wouldn't say I'm pleased with a draw but we've gone another one undefeated. I'm pleased with my record in these games.
"I've always loved playing in derbies. I've always said for me it's the biggest game and I will miss them.
"I will be watching them next season and I will probably be even more nervous. When you play you can do something about it, but watching is very nerve racking."
Liverpool remain five points behind David Moyes's side with two games left - a trip to Fulham followed by the season finale against QPR.
"We've got two games to go and we can't be thinking about Everton," Carragher said.
"We are on a decent run and Southampton is the only defeat for a few months.
"We need to keep going and try to finish off with a couple of wins.
"Credit to Everton, they've had a great season. They have Chelsea away last game and before that West Ham at home.
"You'd expect them to win that but you never know. We just need to concentrate on ourselves.
"If we can finish above them then great, but as Stevie said before the game, we shouldn't be getting too concerned about whether we finish sixth or seventh. If it was the difference between finishing in the top four or not then of course it would be massive.
"But whether we're sixth or seventh, it's not the end of the world."
