He’s actually looked galvanised the last two games. Passed the ball forwards and looked to set us off.
There was a moment in the second half when he passed the ball to them (standard under Mourinho), but immediately took ownership of the problem, aggressively won the ball back and played a quick, clever forward pass which got us onto another quick attack.
I know he’s a defensive midfielder and his main raison d’etre is to protect the back line, but it looks like with the Portuguese mood hoover out the picture, Carrick has been able to actually get in his ear and remind him that playing at the base of midfield mean he has a responsibility to start our attacks, rather than just babysitting the ball until someone else wants it.
