And it's horses for courses. I reckon Carrick will feature against less combative teams and I trust him to pick holes in a team more than anyone, I think. We've got plenty of options and we shouldn't forget that Carrick oozes class and I'm sure he'll be given plenty of chances this season. It's a long old campaign. |

Good post JC.
He'll get a run in the side again, no question about that () His passing is fantastic a joy to watch. He can unlock any defence about and he'll play a big part for us. We have options, that's what we needed last season and options leads to success more often than not. |

Radio 5 were writing him off on Sunday. It's a squad game, people. He will play plenty. It's the variety of options we have that impresses me. Hargreaves and Carrick are very different and Anderson has both their qualities but isn't the same as either. As you say, Carrick's passing is a joy and his composure is one of his best qualities. He won't buzz around the pitch, but he's just as disciplined and controlled and can slow the game down when needed. I always fancy him to ping in a few 25 yarders too. Probably only behind Scholes in that department. There'll be times when he's the right fit. |

His composure and reading of the game are possibly his best qualities. Re the point about hardly playing, I doubt that would matter if it was one of the high profile players. Alan Smith hasn't played up front for Newcastle in weeks yet he's one of the four strikers. MaClaren knows what Carrick can do. If he's not selecting him due to being rotated with Anderson and Hargreaves and a recent injury then he's a dick, he won't get England through and should be fired. Oh wait, he is, he won't and he will be. |
