"dumbass"? Are you a yank, or just want to be a yank?Look at the players who started instead of him dumbass

Maybe is not injured because we are using him in a limited capacity, I keep on saying this but I assume he is on a fitness programme to help avoid these injuries. It would certainly explain his current role.Fitness? Fletcher and Scholes barely moved all game.
Injuries? He's not injured right now.
Don't think he's shown enough to say that yet. Definitely done enough to get more game time than he has but he still has lots to prove particularly his effectiveness over a whole 90 mins let alone in a run of games.The funny thing is, he's far and away our best CM. He's skillfull, quick, bullish, can pick a pass, tackle, break up play. He's a proper modern CM with defensive abilities as well as great technique and attacking flair.
Any idiot can see that our midfield should always be Ando and any other.
A fully fit Anderson for 30 mins against a tiring QPR might be more effective again.Also, if he can't last the 90 (which I doubt)m why not play him for 60 minutes until we have a nice comfortable lead and take him off? Or would that make too much sense.
Fair point. I can't see any other reason for playing him so little. I think he's started just ONE game in the premier league which, given the way he's been playing, is absurd. Hopefully that's the reason rather than anything else.Maybe is not injured because we are using him in a limited capacity, I keep on saying this but I assume he is on a fitness programme to help avoid these injuries.

Can only assume Cleverley has been on something similar, both out for a stretch last season with injuries. Keep em fit, keep them training and improving. If they aren't playing more in the new year then something is horribly wrong.Maybe is not injured because we are using him in a limited capacity, I keep on saying this but I assume he is on a fitness programme to help avoid these injuries.

As I said earlier, we have to compare him to those who do start. I can't see how he wouldn't have done far far better had he started than those who actually did.A fully fit Anderson for 30 mins against a tiring QPR might be more effective again.
Does that make sense?
I really want to see him become our 1st choice midfielder. But let's try to understand why he is being used the way he is rather than moan and groan.
There's some logic in that for sure, but what I would say is, that type of performance is what he's capable of week in week out if he stays injury free and is actually given a proper run of games. Lets face it, though, even at his worst he's never been as bad as that midfield display was today.Don't think he's shown enough to say that yet. Definitely done enough to get more game time than he has but he still has lots to prove particularly his effectiveness over a whole 90 mins let alone in a run of games.
That makes sense, but then he has only started in dead rubber games (like galatasaray). Why risk him in those pointless games and then have him on the bench when it really matters? He's shown it time and time again is season, that whenever he has played, he has been our best midfielder. Surely he should be saved for the games in the league, and use the likes of scholes and giggs in the dead rubber games, alongside players like Powell?A fully fit Anderson for 30 mins against a tiring QPR might be more effective again.

Well there have been people like myself and yourself, who thought he was the answer to our midfield problems all along. I'd never say Fergie is an idiot but i do question why he persists in picking midfield combinations that are proven to be shit, time and time again.I love Anderson, always have, but if you look through threads concerning him you'll find so many wanting him fecked off long ago, with Ferguson criticised for sticking with him, now he's the answer to our prayers and Fergie is an idiot for not starting him.
Hard to win at football isn't it?
Only if we replaced him with a world class replacement who was significantly better like Troure.Does anyone still want rid?
Why does he need to do that? Are you seeing the present starters "bossing a game for 90 minutes"?Think SAF managing him very well, easing him into the season to sort out his fitness issues as if he can perform for 90 mins at the standards required of him (and that he shows off on occasion).
He will be critical for us at the business end of the season. But he needs to prove he can consistently boss a game for 90 mins instead of his once in a while, wonderful cameo's.
Carrick is a non flashy midfielder. And when he's off form it feels like he's the most terrible player in the planet.I think carrick is criminally under rated on here.
That's all well and good but it didn't answer my question. He hasn't really bossed any games this season. He's been, laregely, poor this season.I think carrick is criminally under rated on here.
True but not even Carrick's been bossing teams, he's not that kinda CM either way. Ando deserves his opportunity. He's easily our best CM right now in terms of form. Even if he can't play a full 90 he should start IMO. I'd like to see Carrick & Ando partnership again. I always liked it.I think carrick is criminally under rated on here.
Always has been, and always gets slated whenever we dont play well as a unit. Hes the favorite scapegoat of the Caf.I think carrick is criminally under rated on here.
How exactly is he supposed to do that with ONE League start all season? He needs to be given a chance to prove he can do it.Think SAF managing him very well, easing him into the season to sort out his fitness issues as if he can perform for 90 mins at the standards required of him (and that he shows off on occasion).
