to be fair, Carrick is good, but comparing to Keano, Scholes or
even earlier, Robson, Strachan, he is average..
compared to what other top EPL teams MIDFIELD, in Gerrard, Lampard,
Fabregas, it would seems that our Midfield is not as
'strong'.
Since Scholes' injury, MUFC is depending less and less on the AM
(attacking midfield) to score but instead more of protecting the
backline and pushing the balls to either Ronaldo or Rooney. I think
their key is not to loose too many balls and push it up to the
forward lines.
Thus, when we see Anderson running solo, it felt refreshing..
how to say this? hmmmm...
Like how Keano pulled the entire team in that Juventus game in 99
when MUFC was facing elimination in the UCL...I simply don't see
Carrick doing that.
(shall not judge anderson too much cause apparently he got tons of
potential)
If carrick is deemed as Scholes' successor, I would be
worried.
bottomline, he is good, but maybe he is of a different breed, and
like a Butt, in the end, he may be better off leaving..
