Jamie Carragher says Thiago Silva's days at Chelsea are numbered after he was upstaged by his youthful teammates towards Manchester City.
Silva hobbled off injured throughout last Monday night time's recreation towards Crystal Palace, and though he was dominated out for the trip to Metropolis he might properly be fit in time for the Carabao Cup last.
But some fans will probably be hoping the 39-year-old doesn't play towards Liverpool after the centre-back partnership of Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill carried out brilliantly at the Etihad.
Their stern defence helped the Blues earn a point against Pep Guardiola's men, with Rodri scoring late on after Raheem Sterling's opener in the first-half.
Disasi especially earned approval for his efforts, with Carragher naming him player of the match and likening the 25-year-old to Chelsea legend John Terry.
Silva is in fact probably the greatest defenders of his era, and has been a incredible player for the Blues since shifting to Stamford Bridge in 2020, and was even voted the club's Player of the Yr final season.
Nevertheless, he has not appeared 100% this season, yet Mauricio Pochettino has continued to depend on him, with the Brazilian enjoying almost each single minute of the Premier League marketing campaign.
But Liverpool legend Carragher believes his time is now up, saying on Sky Sports activities: 'Final couple of massive away video games going back to Aston Villa in the [FA] Cup and here in the present day when Thiago Silva has not been involved.
'He's been sensible for Chelsea since he's are available. But I feel together with his age, his contract's up at the end of the season and once you see these two gamers [Disasi and Colwill] in together…
'I feel it makes it very troublesome for Thiago Silva to return back into the workforce between now and the top of the season – until somebody gets injured.
'Chelsea have the cup remaining but I definitely assume they have to start out building something for the longer term. There's not an terrible lot to play for after the cup ultimate.
'I feel taking a look at these two in a partnership and perhaps another young centre-back within the squad, the days of Thiago Silva enjoying at Chelsea have gotten to return to an finish.'

The Blues do have several different young, promising centre-backs in their squad most notably Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana so they might be properly coated if and when Silva leaves.
The veterans future has been the topic of much speculation, even more so after his wife Belle criticised Pochettino on social media after the Four-2 loss to Wolves, one thing she later apologised for.
