Come on then, our with it. How exactly are you related to Michael Carrick?I'd like to mention that Carrick's only started 5 games this season, and in 3 of those he's played very well. The Community Shield against Chelsea, Wolves mid-week, and of course this game against Spurs. Then in the Valencia match he defended astutely and generally played well. Against West Brom, he was having a decent game as well until Ferguson bizarrely decided to take him off (instead of Gibson).
So really, his recent poor form is a bit of a myth. Last season obviously wasn't his finest, but on form he's a hell of a player and suits our quick, one-touch counterattacking style down to a tee. Let's hope the good performances from Michael continue.
That's a very very generous critique of Carrick's season, bordering on scandalously disingenuous!
