Legend. England's one of of many recent cock ups.

Can't open this in Thailand. I did hear on Full Time Devils that Carrick is due a testimonial. Any idea of when yet? And does this mean we won't give him another year's contract?
I dont think it's an indication either way on a contract extension.Can't open this in Thailand. I did hear on Full Time Devils that Carrick is due a testimonial. Any idea of when yet? And does this mean we won't give him another year's contract?
Most likely it will be announced soon. Even Carrick made some hints in his Instagram's story. Testimonial has nothing to do with a new contract. He will stay most likely, it's important to have such an experienced player like him in the squad (less wages, leadership, winning mentality, great history with the club). He still has a massive role just like how we used Giggs, Scholes and Neville to build our squad into a winner.Can't open this in Thailand.

Cheers.Think he was mentioned as having a knock. He would have defo been on the bench if not.
This. I'm a big critic of his pedestrian passing but I thought he was good today. Pushed the issue and tempo when he could.Didn't think he was too bad today. Used the ball quite well.
Though it's pretty annoying watching him stand still instead moving into space to receive the ball.
We shouldn't be building a team to accomodate a fading 35 year old, so unless he can find a way to adapt (like being proactive) hes not going to contribute much.Hes not a 2 man midfield player anymore, even against lower opposition. Hes 35 and in an area which requires legs. His positioning can still be good and his use of the ball can be good. But he needs runners around him. Not surprised he looked better when it moved to a 3 man midfield once Pogba came on.
Nah, nonsense that. He could easily play on for us for another season, if his games are chosen well. And he'd get in most sides outside of the top 7 or 8 even now.Needs to retire. Even his last legs are letting him down. The age is catching up.
Youre pretty much agreeing with me then.We shouldn't be building a team to accomodate a fading 35 year old, so unless he can find a way to adapt (like being proactive) hes not going to contribute much.
I'd include Blind and De Gea in that category too.I understand criticism of his lack of mobility, but not his positioning and passing. He's the only player in the side who, when he gets the ball, I'm confident will do something intelligent, non-trivial, and progressive when possible, and will do it accurately.
Pretty much.Youre pretty much agreeing with me then.
Yeah. I always forget Blind.I'd include Blind and De Gea in that category too.
Problem is those two can go hand in hand.I understand criticism of his lack of mobility, but not his positioning and passing. He's the only player in the side who, when he gets the ball, I'm confident will do something intelligent, non-trivial, and progressive when possible, and will do it accurately.
I was like wtf too haha, his top speed is still good, just his turn and first few meters are extremely slowThe speed of Carrick, went ahead of Saivet as if he was nothing!
Doubt he would have played anyway to be honest with you.With Mkhi injured I thought Jose had just made a smart subsitution by bringing him off to make sure we could play our best 4-3-3 on Sunday, but it seems he's injured.
I think he had a decent chance to with Mkhi hurt as we don't have real cover for him as the #10 and we could revert to 4-3-3 for the game.Doubt he would have played anyway to be honest with you.
