Carrick

Mate, everyone knows Carrick is the best midfielder England have right now. And he wants to play. He's spent 10 years behind Lampard, who scores loads of goals from midfield, but the rest of his game has never been as good as Michael's, and Roy of the Rovers Stevie G, who, while and excellent all rounder, has to be allowed to play his way or he's a tactical nightmare impossible to place in any kind of defensive strategy, or offensive one unless he plays the free-AM role. Never has a player been so fabulously gifted, and woefully limited, as Steven Gerrard. Point is, Carrick has spent the last decade being good enough for Spain, Brazil, Germany, Holland, France and co, but never been good enough to be a starter for England? Hmm...

I've heard people say that past England managers didn't pick carrick consistantly so it proves that he's not up to it at international level and/or there's better players ahead of him, it's strange then that the one manager who has picked him for his starting 11 during that period is the most succesful manager working in the game today and is considered by many to be the greatest of all time, good enough for SAF but not sven, mcClaren, Fabio or Roy Hodgson, hmmmm

Only in England would his talents be over looked at international level

He turned his back on his country. He perceived that he should be held in higher regard and decided that he didn't want to waste his time helping contribute in a smaller way to help bring success to his country and supporters.

I find it to be quite shameful behavior. I wonder what your world cup hero Geoff Hurst makes of it all. Should he have adopted the same attitude and not go yo the 66 world cup as he wad only going to be on the bench?

Small way as in sitting on the bench getting splinters in his backside? That's real helpful. He's done the right choice for himself.
People don't understand that if he went and didn't play, he would, along with the other players, be blasted by the press and fans. And if he does go, he wouldn't even be used, so whats the point in turning up when you could rest, recharge for the next season.

======================

The same guy that got dominated by Ajax youth and A.Bilbao. If he's the best possession footballer we could come up with then we're fo..ked. Better not take him and deceive ourselves to think we have a possession player. Overrated player of the year.
I bet united fans would call for him to get sold by the end of next season.

If carrick played for Liverpool, the England team would be built around him. Roy sees this as a second chance at Anfield.

For the record, the only English team who faced Ajax Youth was Liverpool. They lost 6 nil <lal>

Carrick wouldn't get into Liverpool team. Lucas is much better. United got dominated and outplayed by Ajax youth and second rate Spanish team. If Carrick was any good at possession he'd have dominated those European second rate. Since he couldn't how in this world is he going to be able to dominate world class national teams? Spain, France, Germany????

We didnt want play our best in the europe league fergie didnt want to win it the players didnt try how can you judge him from one game gerrard could't do anything against qpr he should be sold.

"why would Carrick (an established Premier League footballer) waste his time on the bench for up to 4 weeks when he could be on the beach having a break?"

Well lets see, because it is a chance for him to represent his country? At the start of the season the last player United fans wanted to see was Carrick, it was all about Cleverly and Anderson, why did Carrick not refuse to sit on the bench then?

In fairness, most United fans knew Carrick was good enough to start.

This has got to be the worst excuse. Also how in the world is two different matches over two legs ine match?

Lucas is balls. You guys rate him simply because you used to hate him and it makes you feel like you have some sort of redemption. All he can do is hack.

Lucas is much much better that Carrick and has improved. Carrick however has become worse. S%$t player who got dominated by Europe 's second rate teams.

posted on 4/6/12

Lucas is useless. Everyone outside anfield can see that. Even within anfield, you know deep down he is a useless hacking machine. But because you used to boo him, you have to say he's amazing to validate yourselves.

......................

This is why Carrick has been very influential in four title wins etc, and Lucas has been very influential for the cahllenge of getting into the Europa league.

One of these day you really will stop over rating your average players and realize just how poor they really are.

Lucas gets picked for Brazil so clearly someone outside Anfield think he's good.

Carrick however is s..t and not rated outside old toilet. Couldn't get into a poor England side in his peak, can't get into the squad now. Sht player

Far better squad player than anything you have had. That is why you have only won 1 tiny trophy in the last six years.

Here we go...
Trophy is used to judge players' abilities.
In that case Djimi Traore is better than Cantona

Weak argument by very poor poster, who lacks debating skills.

Go back to overhyping your very average players. That is why you are not a CL team anymore. Far too many average players.

A guy who throws insult every second accusing someone of being a poor post
How ironic

Vidicshin if you have nothing better to say just shut up and go have sleep
