'I used to love going to Goodison': Carragher names Everton stadium as least intimidating away ground

Jamie Carragher was asked about his most intimidating and least intimidating away grounds during his career as a player at Liverpool. He chose Everton as the least intimidating but mainly due to their lack of quality in the squad.

"You class Everton as a rival, obviously, alongside a Chelsea or United or Arsenal, but they were never as good as those teams," Carragher explained.

"So when you’re going to their grounds, intimidating atmosphere, almost like a derby game at Old Trafford, top quality players, so it is always going to be difficult to win there. But, with Everton it was that atmosphere, it was a derby game, but we were better than them and you always knew that.

"We had a great record there in terms of winning. I think of all the success Liverpool had in the 70s and 80s, but I think under Gerard Houllier we won there four years in a row there, which was a record. Even Jurgen Klopp’s team I don’t think do that.

"We had a great record at Everton, I used to love going to Goodison. Great atmosphere."
