Jamie Carragher "desperate" for Liverpool medals

Liverpool veteran defender Jamie Carragher has set his sights on clinching the FA Cup and earning more medals before the end of his career.

The 34-year-old has dropped down the rankings at Anfield due to the regular defensive partnership between Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel.

Despite dropping ten points below fourth place in the Premier League, the Reds remain in contention for the FA Cup and will feature in the Europa League next season after winning the Carling Cup.

"There was a time when I thought we weren't going to get to another final," Carragher told LFC magazine. "I want to win more before the end of my career. That's why I'm desperate for the FA Cup and to play in Europe again.

"At the moment we're definitely in the Europa League and I know people knock it but I'd love to reach the final of that competition. I've been to three in Europe so far. To have four in your career would be a fantastic achievement.

"At the end of a career you're desperate more than ever for medals, grabbing as much as you can as you go."

Liverpool's next league fixture is an away trip to Sunderland.
