Jamie Carragher: Most players make tackles as bad as Neil Taylor's

This is a modal window.

Steve Nicol explains why playing at Anfield will be the difference for Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby against Everton.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has written in his Daily Mail column that he believes "99 percent of footballers" have made tackles like the one by Neil Taylor on Seamus Coleman last weekend.

Republic of Ireland captain Coleman suffered a double leg fracture in the challenge as Martin O'Neill's side played out a 0-0 draw with Wales.

Taylor was sent off following his late challenge on the Everton man, but Carragher said such challenges were not uncommon but did not attract much attention if the player on the receiving end was not hurt.
