Plays well when things are going for him and the team are playing well, but when the pressure is on and he needs to be a leader you rarely see him. Been the truth throughout his career and why it has taken him so long to get to a big club. People talk about potential with him, he is 26/26 needs to start proving himself. |

Maybe, but if Scholes is not playing well and holding his hand you rarely see Carrick look to take control. Not just based on today. You can talk about all the good positional play and mopping up off the ball, but he hides when things go against him, and as i said it has been typical of him throughout his career. He has done a good job this season, he and Scholes have linked up well, but If we go into a big game without Scholes I would not expect Carrick to shine. Maybe I am too harsh on him though, but as well as he has done i would still have questions about him. |

What, like when he was at Spurs and playing with some of the shite around him there? |

There is a reason why when West Ham were relegated, all the other young players were snapped up and Carrick stayed to play a season in the Championship. Managers were not convinced that he had the mental toughness, no denying his talent though. |

It's worth remembering Scholes and Carrick have played the whole season without much of a break so Tibs may have a point re fatigue. We wanted to sign two midfielders last August and only got one. I'm not arsed about the lads fee - got £#%&! all to do with me - but the midfield partnership was never intended to be Carrick and Scholes week in, week out.
If you give me the midfield options of Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves and Gibson next season I'll be very happy. |

He did alright against Chelsea and Arsenal did he not? And don't give me that %@#$&!s about how we only got 1 point like you did the other day, I thought you of all people would be knowledgable enough not to resort to an argument like that. He is obviously tired, it was evident in Lille. Isn't that to be expected though? It is his first season at a big club and he is playing in a system and at a tempo that he is not wholly familiar with. This happens to every new palyer in their first season at a new club. Hopefully he will be rested against Reading so he fresh for the vermin. |
