That you don't need to have played at a high level to be a good analyst. He gave examples of managers like Mourinho who hadn't played at a high level.

JT never said you had to have played at a high level to be a good analyst.

I used the word analyst because it covers everything, not just pundits. It's another word for someone providing their opinion, which is how JT said it.

What was the take away message then? I don't think it's silly if jt doesn't listen to players that haven't played at his level, that's his opinion, and Tbf he seems to have done pretty well in his career.

Savage is right every has a right to an opinion on football, but that was never disputed.

It's not really about the criticism per se but the way Savage came across.

Good interview with Carragher in the Mail.

I was just about to post this myself. It seemed more like friends talking about their careers more than an interview.

It shows how important his loan spell was with Forest, if it wasn't for that, he probably wouldn't have made it here.

I always knew that stuff about him wanting to join City was bullsh*t. I said it at the time that he would never join them and he would sign a new deal with us. He had no reason to join City, they couldn't offer him anything more than we could.

I liked his best Chelsea XI too. Imagine having that team in their prime right now........we would dominate for years.

 
That team is mouthwatering.

Cech

Cole

Terry

Carvalho

Iva

Makelele

Lampard

Hazard

Robben

Zola

Drogba

Amazing...

 
Great interview by JT! A legend of the highest order!

Happy 35th Birthday to him as well.

 
Starting to question his leadership. Brana, Azpi and courtios the only ones to go to the fans after the foxes game and applaud them.

Disappointing in general, a serious WTF moment from jt.

Think the time is coming to pick our next captain, this season may be jts last.

 
I dont see a captain among our current squad unfortunately. Azpilicueta is the closest thing to one for me

 
Very disappointed in JT.

I feel he hasn't done his duty as captain this season at all well. Maybe he knows his time is up at the club but he's now lost the manager who in retrospect brought him back to his fantastic earlier years, almost built the team around his lack of pace.

No messages on social media from him, infact barely at all this season. I love the man with all my heart, but it's not only his form which has been poor this season, it's his leadership as well.

 
Will be very interesting to hear what his role in all this is, I suspect we won't find out for quite some time.

 
If he was in the Jose Out camp then id be very torn. But I dont believe he was, he knows what's good for the club and he must recognise that Mourinho needed backing. I tihnk his lack of leadership is down to the fact that he had so few comrades in his corner to help weed out the dis-loyal and unprofessional players from the squad. In the old days he had a number of other players to listen to him and relay his messages to the rest of the team. When you have 24 guys who dont care about the club or want to listen to the captain then you cant blame him for not being able to rally them around Mourinho.

But who knows. It does look like poor leadership from him on the basis of what we have been able to witness

 
Jt is sadly done at the highest level. Regardless of his role in Jose leaving he is on the way out.

 
JT was struggling to keep his starting position, he doesn't have the influence he once did.....and aside from him I cant name a single CFC player I would call a leader.  Far cry from the day of JT/Lampard/Drogba/Cech.
