Michael Carrick
Carrick could do a lot worse than to watch the likes of Fabregas & Denillson today. He has their passing ability (if not more so)...but his inability to 'push on'...to carry the ball forward & commit an opponent is awful.
He never brings the ball forward..always passes the buck to Scholesy (even if Scholesy is only 2 yards away) It's that lack of 'drive' in midfield that might ultimately cost us a trophy or 2 this season. |

That 'lack' of drive is Fergies fault. He knew we needed two midfielders last Summer. We got one good one and then he spent too long trying to sign a player who wasn't available.
And believe it or not Carrick is under strict instructions when Scholes is in the side to sit deep and not carry the ball forward 'too far' - leave it to Scholes etc. The only time I've seen the lad do it, and do it well, was against Watford when he seemed to have licence to get forward more. I saw him drive forward with the ball more when he was at Spurs, I've got no idea why the coaching staff etc won't allow him to do it more here. Bizarre. Mind you at Spurs, he had Davids and Jenas who could get stuck in if he did carry the ball forwards. Scholes can't do that kind of work. Nor should he I guess. |

See this is the insight we're here for. Yesterday someone even said they thought that we'd be in for a hard game at Anfield in their opinion. I'd be lost without this knowledge. |

Not only do you know friends of friends to every band under the sun, you also know all about Ferguson's tactical instructions for every game. I am coming under the impression that you must be Jesus Funny how Carrick in his games without Scholes has generally been utterly average, and not really drove forward at all. He does not take any responsibility whatsoever. He is happy for the game to pass by him. Scholes dictates games, Carrick does not. As I said yesterday, when we sign Hargreaves, Carrick will be struggling to get in the side if we play 4-4-2. He has good passing ability, but for a Manchester United player he needs to impose himself far, far more. |

Friends of every band under the sun? Not really, just music I like and most of the folk on here and RI (bar one or two) don't. I also worked for an Indie record store for 5 years and a distribution company, I got to know a few folk some of which are still friends today.
As far as Carrick goes, that info came via someone who writes for one of the other zines (not RI) and was more to do with tactics and not anything specific to do with Carrick. Unfortunately if Hargreaves arrives I can't see Utd playing 4-4-2 anymore. Glad to amuse you though. I can feel satisfied for the rest of the day. |
