Carrick has been the worst player for us so far. He should be our leader on the pitch. Cannot believe the lack of calmness he shows when he has to take the lead.
Because that's how the manager had them set up? Carrick is nowhere near being at fault for that goal. Schneiderlin turns his back on the bloody ball.
Initially, yeah, maybe, but no manger sets the team up to stand around like statues and not react. He's within about 3 yards of Welbeck the slightest bit of awareness and he's challenging him in the air rather than watching him score and sticking his hand up hopefully.
I think he could reasonably expect the people actually marking him to do it. There was already two players there. If he'd went to Welbeck and somebody else had scored people would be crying.
People are morons. He'd a perfectly good game. Definitely better in the second half too.
I don't think thats reasonable at all. A player like Vidic, for example, would never die wondering in that situation. Expecting a player who's been around for as long as Carrick to be aware to the danger isn't unreasonable, nor is it unreasonable to assume that nominally our leader on the pitch today should take responsibility.
There were two players already there. To bundle in and make it three would've been idiotic. The responsibility is solely with the player who did a stupid little spin when the ball was in the air.
What do you mean ticking over? He's dallied on the ball and played the simple pass, if this was Schneiderlin he would be getting hammered, but because it's Carrick he's kept things ticking over.
Woah, you're preaching to the converted, look at my previous posts on Carrick.
He looks off the pace and laboured. My favourite United player but this performance is a piss take.
