Carragher thinks Saliba has a crucial role in leading the team's back four, especially when Magalhaes is not on the field. He said that great centre-backs are not just skilled players but also help others become great players. He mentioned Tony Adams and Virgil van Dijk as examples.
Carragher thinks Saliba lacks this quality. He said that Saliba looks different when playing without Magalhaes by his side, which is a concern for him. He wouldn't want to be labelled as a player who isn't as good without his partner.
Carragher's comments are based on his own experiences as a centre-back. He wants Saliba to step up and show that he can lead the team's defense even without Magalhaes.
