Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ No one is underrating his skills, but we are questioning his mind set.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ I'm questioning everyone's mindset. There were plenty of Carrick defenders even after Rome. I just find it interesting that the prevailing wisdom now is that he doesn't show up for big matches.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ Carrick has played well in a lot of big games for us. Gamces against Arsenal, Chelsea, most of our CL matches. He was crap vs Barca, but he had Anderson and Giggs as his partners and they did nothing of use in any direction.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ I have always questioned it in big matches. However it seems that the rumors of Sir Alex doing the same has changed general opinion on Carrick. The CL final went from a lapse to the norm.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ So where are the posters who should now, along with killing Carrick, be admitting that they were wrong about him?
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ Don't agree. He is adequate a good amount of the time, but outside of the second legs against Roma and Barca, he is far from great in such situations.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ Still celebrating victory over Wigan.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ All that has happened is that he has gone from being in-form to be completely out-of-form after Rome.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ If that's all that's happened then maybe I've completely misread the tone of posts regarding Carrick in here.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ He wasn't playing until a few weeks ago, not 3 months.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ So I am to believe form carries over through the break and preseason?
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ There is no reason why it cannot. Carrick proves that, unless you believe he magically lost quality or was never even decent to begin with.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ I think he is showing the lack of balls many have accused him of having.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ So he is off form because he is being a little girl. ....
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ He's a good player, a lot of the time he's the best midfielder we have. But he should be the best midfielder we have all the time. He has stepped up his game and he's a vital cog in our defensive game. But we cannot allow a vital cog to disappear every now and then. I expected more from him than I've seen the last few seasons. It's not just about the Barca game. He wasn't alone in being poor that night. It's about him not seeming to be able to step up to the plate on a regular basis. Or at least that he hasn't been doing that yet.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ Why not? Are you telling me that Carrick doesn't seem the type to be overwhelmed or to take shit hard? Plenty or our players play like crap. That have their confidence shaken. However they all continue to try and bare themselves, rightly or wrongly. Carrick when he is off hides unless he is trying another poorly struck hollywood pass.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ My point was that he is still out of form. You essentially agreed with me. So he has been out of form over the break and preseason. So it is possible for a player to be out of form fo such a period of time.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ It is all about the reason he is out form. Namely he is a sissy who can lose it all to easily.
Re: Mahpit fwed #7 - We're not going to by anyone else, honest! ¬_¬ What point posting something in responce to such a childish post, when all one has to do is underline it?
