The England midfielder responded to manager Rafael Benitez's comments that he had not started the season on his best form by scoring the decisive goal seven minutes from time to earn the Reds a 3-2 comeback triumph at the Reebok Stadium.
"It was a great goal from Stevie, typical of him really," Carragher told Liverpool's official website. "He has taken a bit of criticism this week and it's never a clever thing to write Stevie off because even when there are times when he doesn't play well, he will produce a goal like that.
"It was a great result. I thought we played very well in the first half even though it was disappointing to concede a goal from a corner.
"We have taken a bit of criticism this week and rightly so to a certain extent because we haven't made the greatest of starts.
"I thought the lads showed what great character we have. No-one can ever write us off because I think ourselves and Manchester United, not just in this league but probably anywhere in the world, are the best at coming back from deficits and winning games."
