Carrick the man of the first half for me...

'What on earth has happened to the exciting play'

Carrick has happened.

'Carrick, verb. To play a; Action describing an utterly mediocre style of football, based on the idea that passing backwards, and standing motionless in the center circle, never providing an actual threat, is the correct way to play football. Sentence 'Oh my giddy aunt, have you seen this game, they're playing a RIGHT Carrick!' '

believe.

I can't pick a best player when we've witnessed the most boring football I've ever seen !

No imagination no spark just lazy pathetic boring football.

They expected to win easily without trying !

Can I have your autograph?

I'm too lazy to actually have to go through the effort of writing something, so my autograph generally just consists of a Fonzy type '2 thumbs up'.



You are welcome sir.

carrick was exceptional

Completed every pass. Go watch the game again. His pasing was incredibly crisp and accurate the whole game

easily our stand out player

UnitedRedMacca- I taught Rooney and Berbatov the overhead kick
---------------------------------------------------

I completely agree, made some barn storming blocks in defence as well.

All I'm saying is if Carrick is easily your/our stand out player, it say's a lot about the performance by the rest of the team.

And I think my point is backed up, considering we looked very, very average for 87 minuets against a team ranked 151 in Europe.

Fair do's although Carrick playing so well doesn't really explain the performance by some of our other players.

he gets bad press most of he time so no surprise he isnt geting any credit for putting in a passing masterclass

Nah your right, he did play very well this evening, I'm incredibly bias re Carrick.

I though Valencia was very poor, he seem reluctant to take a player on these days, and his crossing is nothing like it was a couple of seasons ago.

Anderson showed a bit of promise, but still gave the ball away, and picked the wrong pass on too many occasions.

Hernandez had another quiet one (what was the point of resting him against Liverpool?), Rooney didn't really do much other than score a couple of penalties, and I was hoping for more from Nani, though he was unlucky not to score.

All in all disappointing, and we'll be in a whole world of trouble if we play like that on Sunday!!

Man city midfield is not as good as man utd as shown every time we play them they sit back while we try to force through there bus. The only difference is Man city as shown in the community shield are more clinical where in the first half they shot twice and scored twice going forward twice that half.
