Ryan_Taylor Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Would it not make more sense to play Carrick in his actual position and let a proper centre back gain some international experience? Of course it would. Even if the theory of a ball-player at the back vs San Marino would help us play it out from the back, it's completely unnecessary given the level of the opponent, and will do nothing for our future defensive cohesiveness. Taylor is more than capable of bringing the ball out from the back, especialy against the likes of San Marino Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 He's played there a couple of times for Man Utd. Aye and been f*cking awful every time, not to mention he's probably the best midfielder England has anyway. He isn't, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Lampard and Wilshere are better, imo. Offensively? sure but i meant as far as playmaking goes Carrick is our best. Lampard and Wilshere have more offensive ability for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 absolute disgrace that Carrick wasn't playing for us in his prime. Inexcusable tbh. I'm Oakie Doke. Thanks for reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Billy Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Carrick is class like but he's so bad in centre back. He's played there about 10 times for us and been terrible about 9 of those times. For what it's worth I think he's the best midfielder England have bar Wilshere. Carrick is probably in better form, currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Lee Dong-Gook from Boro could still be starting up front for you. It's ok we have a 33 year old Tim Cahill, a 34 year old Archie Thompson and a 30 year old Alex Brosque. Sad state of affairs. Positives are Tommy Oar is a top attacking mid/winger in the Dutch league, Rogic iS getting some games at Celtic and Robbie Kruse is Dusseldorfs best player in the Bundesliga. other than those 3 we are fucking dire.
