Was anyone else surprised that the League Cup game was Carrick's first assist of the entire season

johno · Jan 29, 2010

Not really. He hasn't been getting forward much and he was in the dog house at the start of the season and then played CB for a few matches.

It would be interesting if someone found out secondary assists too, I dont think Carrick plays the defense splitting last pass, he is more the guy who is involved in an attack rather than the one who sets it up.

Dark Savante · Jan 29, 2010

I suppose.. here's his numbers from the past two seasons:

He's more in line with the season before last, this time out.

How the goals were scored:
Rooney

Header

vs. Wigan Athletic (A) - Valencia works the right flank for 30th time and finally gets a connect in the box; by way of Rooney's powerful header into the top-right area of the goal.

vs. Hull City(H) - Nani's picture-perfect right-footed cross from the right attacking third is met by a low-directed header by Rooney into the bottom left corner of the goal thus completing his hatrick.

vs. Manchester City(H)[cc] - Giggs plays a short corner with Valencia, who plays a short ball back to Giggs, who has, by now, come short himself to remain onside. Giggs drops a first-time cross right into the centre of the goal where Rooney prowls and pounces with a header straight into the middle of the goal.

Left Foot

vs. Tottenham Hotspur (A) - A speculative long ball down the right flank from Fletcher is collected by an on-rushing Wayne Rooney, who promptly turns inside and battles with one man, easily beating him before nutmegging the second and running square across the box near the penalty spot, he then procedes to nutmeg the keeper with a low, considered stroke of the ball right down the middle of the goal.

vs. Blackburn Rovers(H) - Obertan carries the ball up the left wing flanked by Anderson. Obertan plays the ball into Anderson's stride, which gives Anderson the chance to look up and play a choice ball across the box - Rooney swoops in on Anderson's nifty cross to cushion a cross-shot, side-foot volley into the bottom right corner with his left foot.

vs. Hull City(A) - After a melee in the box, the ball finds its way out to the right-attacking flank where Fletcher plays a low, bending cross back into the box. Giggs misses the swerving ball with an attempted back-heel, flick-on, which sees the ball drop comfortably into the centre of the box, and the awaiting Rooney who puts it away with his left foot.

Right Foot

vs. Birmingham City(H) - Rooney heads the ball against the right post and then tucks home the rebound with his right foot.

vs. Wigan Athletic (A) - The ball is played up to Berbatov through the centre of the attacking third, he weights a ball into Rooney's path inside the box on the left side of the pitch. Rooney sorts his feet out after a poor first touch and shoots to the far(right) post; the ball deflects off a Wigan CB and drops inside the near(left) post into the goal.

vs. Arsenal (A)[pk] - Rooney is felled by an on-rushing Aluminia and is awarded a penalty. He steps up and takes it himself - burying it in the upper-right side of the goal with his right foot, whilst sending the keeper the wrong way.

vs. Manchester City(H) - City fall asleep on a throw-in near the left corner flag. United take advantage with a quick throw to Evra who speeds into the box and cuts the ball back to Rooney who dribbles through two men and buries the ball in the bottom right corner with his right foot.

vs. Portsmouth(A)[Pk] - Blasted into the mid-right side with the right foot.

vs. Portsmouth(A) - Fletcher - who is standing in the centre circle - plays a lofted pass into the path of Giggs on the inside-right channel. Giggs deftly plays the ball into Rooney's crosshairs off-centre left in the penalty area. Rooney converts smoothly with his left foot.

vs. Portsmouth(A)[Pk] - Blasted into the bottom-right side with the right foot.

vs. West Ham(A) - With West Ham still in dissaray from the third goal they'd just conceded, Valencia takes advantage and sprints down the right flank before driving a well placed low drive across the box for Rooney to tap-in with his right foot.

vs. Wolverhampton Wonderers(H)[pk] - Blasted into left-middle side of the net with Rooney's right foot.

vs. Wigan Athletic(H) - After a multi-man move upfield, the ball finds its way to Valencia at the right edge of the box. Valencia holds up the ball whilst waiting for Rafael's overlap on his flank and releases it in perfect sync with the Brazilian who carries the baton on and flashes a just-off-the-ground cross into the Wigan penalty area. Rooney meets the ball extremely early at the near post and pokes it home with his his fully outstretched right leg, much to the bemusement of the Wigan defence.

vs. Burnley(H) - Berbatov's low driven shot is parried back into a host of bodies in the centre of the penalty area. The ball ends up at Rooney's feet about 8 yards out dead-centre of the goal-mouth. He is quickly set upon by 3 Burnley players, which helps him make his mind to feint his first shot and shuffle to his right, he then pushes the ball further into this self-created path before planting the ball very purposefully into the bottom left corner of the goal.

vs. Hull City(H) - Scholes drives a 30-yarder goalward that Myhill manages to parry into the path of Rooney, who calmly takes the ball down and then taps home from 6 yards out with his right foot.

vs. Hull City(H) - Hull shambolically clear their lines from a corner by felling one of their own players, leaving him prone on the ground in the six yard box. The cleared ball falls from the sky into Nani's path off centre-left of the d. Nani plays a short-pass into Gibson who is dead-centre of the pitch just before the d. Gibson plays a short ball into the path of Rooney who is veering off into space off-centre-right in the penalty area and is being played onside by the downed Hull player. Rooney blasts the ball home straight down the middle of the goal with his right foot.

vs. Hull City(H) - Berbatov floats one of his - what looks like a trademark - deft lobs, into Rooney from off-centre left in the attacking third. Rooney controls the ball on the volley and carries it a few steps into the Hull penalty area where he is met by three Hull defenders, he takes a second volleyed touch, and then on the bounce, a third touch that provides him the space to swivel and bury the ball low and to the keeper's right to finish off a 4-goal romp.

vs. Arsenal(A) - As had occured for the majority of the game, an Arsenal attack was comfortably broken down before they were hit hard on the break. Rooney drops deep into his own half and wins the ball before playing it out wide to Nani on the right side of the pitch. Nani carries the ball forward a good 40 yards, whilst Rooney sprints from his deep position, carries his run past Nani, and arrives in the Arsenal box. Nani plays a perfectly measured low through-ball into Rooney's path and Rooney sweeps home a 9.2 second counter-attack with a right-footed stroke of the ball into the bottom left corner of the Arsenal goal.

Getting quite long now

Also, can Own Goal reach double figures? Quite a player, that lad!

SyedZada · Feb 1, 2010

So far no real shocks, Rooney scoring while playing the furthest forward, Valencia scoring as much as you would expect from a classical winger (actually he has scored more, could end the season with 8-10 which would be a good first season).
We probably need someone else to step up their tally either other strikers or midfielders or wingers.

That OG has been contributing quite nicely so far

Dark Savante · Feb 6, 2010

Quirks:

- Evra has 5 assists... 3 of them have been to Own Goal. They clearly have a chemistry going on out there.

- Own Goal is our second top scorer... is that good or bad?

- Carrick has his first assist of the league campaign..

- Berba has 8 goals this season. If we consider him a SS this term, it's really not that bad a return, as crazy as that sounds or seems from his performance level and the amount of sitters he's missed, or serious goal-scoring opportunities he didn't run for.

johno · Feb 6, 2010

But Berba only has 4 assists. He's got to be more creative if he's gonna be a set up guy and not a goal scorer.

TheWan · Feb 7, 2010

He's doing quite well statiscally considering the number of starts and minutes he had this season. His all round performances was better earlier in the season without the stats to show for it, but this time around he's been banging them in steadily without the performances to match.

League only based on fantasy.premierleague.com
14 starts(7 subs), 8 goals in the league. 155mins per goal. 4 assists.
His last 8 appearances: 5 starts, 4 goals, 3 assists. And he came on against Arsenal with only 2 mins left. Pretty good considering.

Like able chap too, doesnt complain if he doesnt get games and scores goals that makes opposition wish that the ground would open up.

billyireland · Feb 7, 2010

He's getting a bit selfish though, it would be nice to see an assist or two from Own Goal in the near future. Or would that be asking too much?

I don't think he has it in him. Maybe a few years on in his development.

I wouldn't be too surprised, he has had some considerable spats with Wes Brown & the Neville brothers down the years.

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Feb 8, 2010

well OG has been around forever. perhaps now is the best time to sell in an inflated market?

Own Goal said:

Yes, of course I am 'appy about my goal returns. I am very confidence in this moment, but the future? Only God knows. Of course, always this dispute about whether Own Goal scored this or this goal. But all can do, is my job and 'ope my streak continues.
