I think Carrick has been overlooked because the others that are in his position are typical English players. Run about a lot, put last ditch tackles in and look busy protecting the back four. Carrick is too calm continental for England.
Carrick is pony. One decent game for England doesn't change that.
In 2008-2009, when United were the best team in Europe, Carrick was their best player that wasn't a diving Portuguese Phaggot.
He never quite reached those heights again but his style was better suited to international football than any other English midfielder, yet he rarely got his chance.
I think his best days are behind him and he shouldn't be in the first team now, but he really should have twice as many caps as has got.
Except Arsenal, who two pieced you on your own ground.
You mean the game he didn't even start because he wasn't match fit?
Wasn't that your first win at old Trafford in ten years? No wonder your celebrating it like a trophy.... you guys have had little else for the past decade
