If Carrick is so good

then why cant he get a game for England? I thought England were crying out for midfielders who can keep the ball.

Ermm simply because the media were obsessed with Gerrard and Lampard.

England could have been amazing if they played with a 3 of

-----Carrick -- Gerrard ---
---------Scholes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
..................................Owen

..........Rooney..............................Gerrard

.
......................Scholes.....Hargreaves.....

..................................Carrick.

Cole.................Terry..............Ferdinand...........Neville

................................James


Benitez knew with Gerrard, Mascherano and Alonso that 3 doesn't go into 2.

To be fair he got plenty of opportnuties and didn't play very well but I do agree with BOSS on that front. Gerrard and indeed Scholes moved around and shunted to wings cos Frank wasn't able to. Daft really. Would have made a great impact sub would Frank.

Yeah made 1 appearance at World Cup 2006 and has never had a look in since

Lampard had discipline
Stevie Geevie just cared for himself.
Witness to all last season

Your obsessive hatred of all things Liverpool is getting extremely wearing.

The best performance of any England midfield in recent memory was the demolition of Germany, and guess who played in midfield that day.

Gerrard & Scholes

you really should try to remove those blinkers you constantly wear, you'll end up a better person for it

Robbing I am on about in a tournament. Its amazing Michael Carrick has never played in an internation tournament since joing Man utd and has 1 appearance at a World cup.

Perhaps he should have played better in his other 30 opporunities then Hafi.

Carrick hasn't played poorly in all his games。If you think that's the case, then Lampard and Gerrerd have been poor for majority of their international careers. Yet, still given over 10 years to keep failing even when other combinations would have been more fruitful to the team.

That's the problem with England. Keep sticking to things that don't work in the blind hope everything will click.

Robbing Carrick helped England qualify for tournaments then when tournaments comes a no mark comes and takes his place.
