Last year Carrick was brought in and asked to play the role of what was effectively a water carrier, and after a slow start he played this role to a great effect. When Carrick was subbed of missing for the game our passing noticeably suffered. He is a player that you only notice if you specifically watch him. Teams can’t be packed with players all looking to play the killer pass every time, they all need people to keep them ticking over just as much. When Scholes was out Carrick, by and large, stepped up to the plate and dictated the teams play to mostly good effect. That central midfielder managed to outpass and outmanoeuvre virtually every other PL midfield at least once, short of Arsenal, and even then they put in an admirable display of defensive cover at the Emirates (PS I couldn’t give a toss what he does on England duty or if Barry outperforms him there). This season he played well in his first three games and after a couple of mediocre performances managed to make himself into a scapegoat for some fans. Bullshit, complete and utter bullshit. His performances were no worse than any of our other attackers in that initial period of the season yet he gets singled out. I would, with confidence, say that if Riquelme had been bought instead of Carrick last year we would NOT have won the title last year. Similarly I wouldn’t have been that confident with Pirlo because he wouldn’t have offered the same amount of defensive cover which we desperately needed. That is something people often forget, they yap that his passing isn’t exciting enough but then completely ignore his excellent reading of the game, defensive cover and intercepting abilities. Not to mention, for a deep lying midfielder, a decent tally of goals. Grognard: Do not underestimate Butt, he may have fallen away in his last 18 months at the club but he was a good performer before that and to describe him as barely adequate is nothing short of disrespectful and ungrateful to him Dan: Your argument is flawed Smith played virtually no part in the PL campaign while Saha’s contributions in the first half of the season were critical to our success. Oh and go and take a look at Carrick’s goal tally in the second half of last season. I like him because I feel he made a big contribution to the teams excellent displays last season by giving them a stable platform to work from. Frankly I wonder how many of you watch United at times.
