And its football " fans" like you that don't understand why players like Carrick are so underrated, Carrick is not there to score goals and assist, even though he does chip in every now and then. he is there to control the game which is exactly what he does. he keeps the ball for us. and every game makes vital interceptions. And for that reason if we didn't have him last season there is no way we would have won the league. just because he isn't flash like ronaldo or got a bullet right foot on him like gerrard, does not mean he is not world class
