Utd fans who think Michael Carrick is shit no nothing about football. The guys a first class midfielder if you just watch his game its so effective he can use both feet, has a good work rate can intercept, tackle, very good passer of the ball and can control most balls instantly, And if you've actually seen him strike a ball you'd be surprised he doesn't shoot it more often, but the reality he plays alongside Paul Scholes and for MUFC and you can't afford to waste the ball which he rarely does.
@LoganBridges tbh he only passes sideways and backwards - plays like a cdm and he really isnt a cdm lets be honest. Just because you don't rate a player doesnt mean you know nothing about football...the things you list that you said are effective in his game, most premier league central midfielders have these skills and if they didn't then they wouldn't be playing at that standard.
@BigPhatNinja i'm just making my point, its no secret a lot fans don't think he's good enough to play at man utd anymore because he rarely scores (I know he scored twice recently) , he's no longer amongst the england team and hes not getting any younger. Im not saying he's amazing (rating him) but right now in the current mufc team his calm head, experience and consisteny is invaluable and overlooked. His game isn't exciting but key in a championship contending team
@LoganBridges i can see where your coming from pal. But he is average for premier league standard. Looking back across past Utd Midfield he really isnt Utd standard. I cant really say much though coming from an arsenal supporter haha ;) but yeah i respect your opinion pal, just good to have a debate ;P
ever since carrick has come back from midfield, united have gone on a great run. after going 71 games without a goal, he has now scored 2 class goals this season. gives us a defensive stability. brilliant yet underrated
He brings stability in United's midfield - a much needed component. He's been playing defensively over the recent years, I don't know if he lacks confidence in his abilities or did SAF request that he do so but we have seen bits and pieces of what Carrick is fully capable of over the last few weeks, most prominently against Bolton, QPR. He still plays rather defensively but he executed killer passes. When Cleverly returns, United's midfield would be well balanced and strong, mark my words!
i think he is a decent midfielder, a lot of people give him stick because they saw what he can do at the start but with stages of his form/confidence going down, they automatically ruled him out as a failure. I think he can be very effective on his day, parts of his game go unnoticed and what he does for the team. i also agree that the lack of consistency presents a problem for him sometimes, as it does with most midfielders at united. still a good squad player for me, doing good this season.
@BatesKnowsBest Go and watch videos of him keeping the ball. Just because he doesnt score goals doesn't mean he is crap. You clearly don't know a thing about football.
Watching this really serves as a reminder of how far Carrick has fallen. Brilliant in his first two seasons. Mediocre in his third. Dreadful in his fourth.
@TheNewProdigy2010 hello, have u seen carrick in the last 5 games which he started in he played brilliant in them he didnt score tho but he was brilliant at defending and he was doing brilliant passing he is a great player
@TheNewProdigy2010 Fuck off you prick, you clearly know nothing about football and you've probably never heard of a player if their last name isn't ronaldo or rooney. Look at his game and watch that he barely loses the ball. Fergie knows what he is doing and that is why Carrick is in the team. Cock.
@TheNewProdigy2010 Jones's recent comment sums it up "Other people may not notice what he(Carrick) does but when you’re playing alongside him, you can’t help but be impressed. "He seems to have this sixth sense – he knows where to be, where the ball’s going to be. He’s always in the right place at the right time to either receive the ball or break up an attack. He has a great range of passing, too, and, as we saw at QPR, he has goals in him as well."
So far this season United have conceded an average of 19 shots per game, more than anyone else in the whole Premier League, which is a shocking stat. Carrick is yet to start a league game. Coincidence?
such a great player at spurs and early in his career at man utd. Nowadays I feel that carrick is a bit too static and sometimes lacking confidence to dribble or pass the ball forwards.
I think Carrick really passed his prime time or is badly off form, he really needs a lot of improvements if he want to stay at the 1st team, the CL game against the Swiss side last night completely proves it, he was not doing anything for most of the time, and I would say that his inability in defending indirectly led to the 3 goals that Basel scored.
@lmfaoatthat lol thats contradicting, if you say that hes shit, why do you still say he can pass well? what a loser. Besides, why are you even watching this.
From highlights I used to think Cariick was crap but the more I watched him in full games I saw how good he was as a defensive midfielder - he's certainly good when United have 'backs to the wall' games. He does his job. However, Michael is pretty static as midfielders go and often prefers to try the Hollywood ball as a his means of getting forward when others would run and press. When they work, fine. When they get cut out it looks bad as it gives the ball back to the opposition.
Fair play and a fair assessment of Carrick. Pity most fans just don't admit they ONLY watch highlights and slate Carrick because they don't much of him in them. If you haven't watched the full game, you can't even have a vaild opinion on a player's performance as far as I'm concerned. there's a hell of a lot that goes on in between, especially for defensive-minded players.
A lot of fans will talk about how he doesn't score much at all, that's how you know a "MOTD fan"..
come on haters, just shut the fuck up. if you hate him why are you even watching this? you dont have to score goals to be a good player. gay shit. thumbs up if you agree
after every united loss, i hear everyone saying that it was all because of carrick! carrick didn't block the shot, carrick didn't close him down, carrick didn't score, etc... and i think, ya, i guess that proves it! carrick is the heart & soul of united's mid. when he doesn't play well, united don't play well!
Fuck off Michael Carrick a player who fits shirt United big, very big, and never served in the big games, as the finals of the champions league ... has no vision, is very slow, it does not arrive, is unable to create anything of the game, knows only pass to a teammate who has a 2 meters.
@utd4life62 I try to learn English, which you do not know if another language, but could have talked about carrick is what I miss and tell me if I'm wrong.
@fuenlath First of all, you say that Carrick has no vision, yet there are a multitude of incredible passes in the above video. I know it's only highlights, but a player with no vision would not be able to make ANY of the passes in the video. And more recently, I remember an incredible pass to Giggs, who then set up Rooney for the first goal in the CL Quarter-final first leg against Chelsea, a game where he won man of the match, and did so again in the second leg.
@fuenlath And as for not turning up in big games, how can you say a CL quarter-final against our main domestic rivals is not a big game. Don't blame him for getting outclassed by Xavi and Iniesta, they do the exact same thing to every midfielder they face. Carrick is a great player, but Xavi and Iniesta are in a league of their own when it comes to central midfielders.
I remember that he was really good in his first seasons. He isn't that good anymoore, but still a good player. I think that he just needs a little bit moore confirdence :)
Have you ever heard about Liam Miller, Kleberson or maybe Djemba-Djemba? Do you even watch the games? Carrick was one of the main reasons United reached the CL final this year with his displays against Chelsea and Schalke. Just because he doesn't score many goals or provide a lot of assists doesn't mean he is shit. How come United have won the league 4 out of 5 times after Carrick was signed? And don't tell me that is coincidence.
@TheNewProdigy2010 I bring them up because you meant Carrick was the worst player to ever pull on a United shirt which is simply wrong. Carrick played in total 43 games in the previous season so there's no doubt he was important. We are trying to sign Sneijder because a certain Paul Scholes decided to retire. How can you even compare Sneijder and Carrick? Sneijder is a offensive playmaker who plays in the hole, while Carrick is a defensive holding midfielder. Completely different players.
@TheNewProdigy2010 LOL Good you ran out those pathetic ''arguments'', it must be emberrasing to know so little about how football works. Go and play some more Football Manager where you can have your dream team of Casillas, Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo, Messi, Sneijder, Kaka, Benzema, Torres, Drogba and Fabregas.
@ProductionsWazza Soz but i agree with the other dude Carrick is not that good in a holding position and once fletcher is fit its bye bye Carrick. But Carrick is brilliant in a higher up the field position in a more attacking role, remember the 06/07 and 07/08 seasons, he was one of the best midfielders in the world.
@ProductionsWazza I agree with Wazza for a couple of reasons; first, like wazza noted, Carrick is certainly not the worst player to ever put on a United kit --no reason to look so far back as kleberson or Miller...simply have a look at Bebe. Second, Carrick is, and has been, vital to United's midfield since his signing due to his positional ability in the holding role of midfield. United havent had that sort of midfielder that sits on directs traffic since Keano.

@TheNewProdigy2010 I've got an advice for you. If you aren't any better than Carrick, I'd suggest that you very well keep your lips intact instead of criticizing someone and labeling them as "pathetic" when you cannot even reach their level i.e. PLAYING FOR MANCHESTER UNITED. Statement made.
Damn he was so good, he could really shot and create exellent goal chances, where did all that go??? It's not the same player that is playing anymore..
Just looking at some of the criticisms for Michael Carrick it’s obvious that a lot of fans don’t know anything about football, and probably can’t even play football. The game isn’t just about little fancy flicks and scoring form range. In order to win a football game you need to keep hold of the football, Carrick does that brilliantly. He starts up attacks from the back, can open up defences with his passing ability. He gets played almost week in week out by one the best manager ever!!!
During Man utd vs schalke, Michael Carrick alone completed 130++ passes. While during Barcelona vs Real Madrid, all 11 players of real madrid only completed 147 passes. tell me why he shouldnt play. he's a great player. Possessions, interceptions, executions he got them all.
Without the class and technique of the likes of Carrick and Berbatov with all due respect United would just be an ordinary team fighting for UCL qualification. Their composure and class stands out amidst a sea of workman like players and inspite of this they face the wrath and ire of most of so called Utd supporters. Carrick just glides through midfield and his tackling is not world class and need not be cause his interceptions are absolute world class. Hope Carrick and Dimi stay for eternity.
Before the second leg of the semi final of the champions league this season I heard Carrick had played the most football for us in the champions leauge. An ex city defender was saying that Carrick was key to our succsess in the champions league. You need balance in your team. If we had 11 Ronaldos on the pitch we wouldn't win a thing so watch the game properly and think about it instead of looking for people who catch they eye by running with it and scoring goals like little kids.
is it a coincidence or what?? Micheal's first three seasons as a regular starter won us 3 pl titles fourth season we lost the league as he was not in the 1st 11, then comes his 5th season being a 1st team player we won the league again...u tell me isnt he worth it????
@TheLibanski wake up will you, carrick is shit.. im embarrassed to have him on the team i support, hes a shadow of his former self and a weak link in the team. total shit.
Michael Carrick is class, you don't play at Manchester United consistently for 5 years and win loads of trophies being a shit player. Carrick is top class!
every football fan who has football knowledge can see carrick is an outstanding midfielder! always keeps posession and a SUPERB passer! open youre eyes blind idiots! hes in the same class as xabi alonso!
carrick is a brilliant player, always been one of my favourites since he joined. hes a really good passer and being paired with giggs in the centre of the midfield has really given him the confidence to get back to his best. it wasnt so long ago that fletcher and carrick were widely regarded as the best centre mid partnership in europe
I am not huge Carrick, I really do think he under-performs regularly. But what I see is that he's one of the players Ferguson trusts really much, and that's enough for me. If he's good for Ferguson - he's good for United. I doubted Ferguson enough times before and I'm tired of being wrong. That man knows what he's doing and if he thinks Carrick, Evans, Gibson, Rafael and so on are needed for United, than it's the best argument for me.
And yes about Smalling, he's the next player after Chicharito to really impress in his first season at Old Trafford! He's definitely one of our future stars along with Evans, who knows the Evans-Smalling duo could be our next major defensive one after Rio-Vidic! Although they do need to improve, especially Evans who according to Sir Alex "is well grounded in terms of what's needed here. His time will come."
Before everyone comes and blames Michael Carrick for the loss to Arsenal (and they will), I would just like to say, If you have to be childish and blame someone, Park Ji Sung was the one who was supposed to be marking Ramsey. however, I'm hoping (probably in vain) that we won't see childish gloryhunters feeling the need to put the blame on someone, so that we can move on to actually supporting Man Utd.
@khusul It's just the usual. The gloryhunters feel like they need to pin the blame on someone, and because they're too stupid to understand what football, they just throw the blame at Carrick. A lot of gloryhunters come into games with a pre-conception that he's going to play shite, so unless he's the best on the field by a mile, they're always going to say he's shite. I just wish they could grow up and stop feeling the need to pin the blame on one player.
@utd4life62 Spot on! As you said, they've already got that pre-conception that he's going to play shite, and I think that's because he's our no.16, Keano's successor, and so they think that he should be ending careers too. Don't get me wrong, Keano's a legend but let's face it, modern midfielders/ players can't be like that anymore, Keano was lucky in his time at Old Trafford but football itself has changed now. The one player who's taken the team leader role imo is Vidic :)
@khusul I don't think they're expecting him to play like exactly like Keane, I think they expect him to be more like a Nicky Butt, because I'm pretty sure that even the gloryhunters understand that Keane is one of that was unmatched in his postion. I half agree with you that players can't play like Keane anymore, but I do think some players get away with it. De Jong and Mascherano are both dirty bastards, and they get called top class, But as a majority, players like Keane have been stamped out.
@khusul I'll agree with you on Vidic, that man (if he can be called that lol) is just incredible. I've never seen a defender physically dominate the way he does. When he's on top form, there are times when you know that United are going to keep a clean sheet after only a couple of minuets. If I were to select an all time greatest XI, Nemanja Vidic would be in it next to Franz Beckenbauer, I think he's that good!
@utd4life62 He's so amazing! I feel so proud of him, having him in our team is a blessing! And actually each and every United player is a blessing really, bcoz they're the ones who work their arses off on that pitch, and contribute so much to the team in every possible way. Vidic is a hero though, am actually reading his biography and trust me, this man's awesome! He's gone through so much but doesn't let it show and he also gives his all on the pitch. The best defender in the whole world!
@khusul He's easily the best defender in the world imo. Even the likes of Ferdinand, Terry, Cavalho and Puyol don't quite march up. The only thing is, he's lacks pace, so really fast strikers can sometimes get the better of him, but anyone who isn't lightning quick doesn't stand a chance.
@khusul The best thing is though, I think that Chris Smalling has the potential to be even better. He's still a long way off, but he's got amazing physical presence, like Vidic, but he's got the composure and intelligence of Rio. That lad is going to be something special.
@utd4life62 Also, and that's MY personal opinion, I don't think the club needs to splash the cash on bringing new players in Summer coz we've got the players at Old Trafford itself! Our bench is full of fresh talent, waiting to come on, including the reserves players coming up. Of course, we need a goalie with VDS retiring (unsure abt that lately tho) but that's all. Like I said, it's my opinion but of course, Sir Alex is the big Boss.
@AndyPandyLikesCandy It's the Munich Memorial kit they had worn on the 10th Feb 2008 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the air disaster. Carrick had scored the only goal for United that day.
@kobbikini4321 .. u should see the big picture here.. carricks presence makes united a well-balanced team. one c.midfielder help the attacking force and the other(carrick) helps the back four..block, tackle and intercept the opposition attack. u shud think really2 hard why ferguson believes in him so much and played him in most big matches. in fact he is one of the player that make the most appearance in this season.
@utd4life62 i completely agree with you, i hate how many united supporters put players down because they may not be in form or had a bad game, what ever happened to keeping the faith? also all those who judge aernt the manager. the manager is the one who makes decisions on who he buys/plays, now we all know ferguson is one of the best managers in the world if not the best. it seems pretty evident that he has faith in the likes of carrick and berbatov. so all those who slate aernt true fans tbh
@KaneWinters Nice to see a true fan, It's becoming an extremely rare thing to see nowadays. For every proper supporter you see, there are a thousand gloryhunters making scapegoats out of Carrick and Berbatov.
Man Utd "supporters" are easily the worst supporters in the world. It's really embarrasing for real fans like me to be associated with fickle, plastic gloryhunters, which unfortunately make up about 90% of Utd's support base. It's just mind boggleing how quick our "fans" are to jump on the team's back and call everyone associated with the team crap. We play well and you're all bloody silent, but one minor mistake, and a player gets named the worst footballer of all time. You're all pathertic.
@utd4life62 I believe all of us are the true supporters of United, except that we have different ways to do so. It's been 3 years that Carrick's been in this low performance. You can't just force ppl to praise him.
@boji1980 I'm not asking people to praise Carrick for his performances over the course of this or last season (exept the Chelsea games) what I'm saying is that no United "supporter" should have an savage hatered for any player who plays for United. Unless Carrick puts in a MOTM performance, you will always have people saying "Carrick is da shittest playa in the history of Man United". Also, he been performming badly for nearly two years, not three, and he looks to be coming out of that slump now
Carrick is crap cost man u the cup v city and his goal mad Munich come back last year, he is a clown, has no pace, passing is crap, cant head the ball, doesnt score or have many assists, doesnt close down etc
@oshite007 ...is shit is ur real name? suits u perfectly. useless guy with useless brain. u dont see how important for a team to have a well-balanced team. carrick is a wonderful c.midflder . he is designed and ordered to help the back four and feeding the attacking midflder. yes, he is slow.. and xavi hernandez is lightning fast rite? his passing i bet is better than scott parker or mascherano.
@apihhh , you are an angry man, my shite007 if after john o shea as I call him john o'shite, second as a lifelong Man Utd fan I hope Carrick plays the way he has them 3 games v Chelsea but he had poor season up til april, playing with Giggs really helps him, Carrick is great when has time of ball, european games suite him, lot of times this season in prem he being poor, but I hope he gets man of match v barca and man utd win
Whenever I watch he plays, he always slows the pace of the game, makes bad passes or passes the ball backwards. This guy can't destroy the pace of the opposite team like Roy Keane did. Not to mention that he has less technique to dribble pass an opponent. He's not good enough for United.
You can't judge player just by a few matches or just by watching the highlight. video Even Andy Cole or Dirk Kuyt looks world class in the highlight.
@boji1980 Andy cole was world class, he wasn't stylish, but style means jack shit if you can't do your job properly, and Andy his job as well as anyone in the league
@utd4life62 I disagree that Andy Cole is a world class player. He made too many silly mistakes in the box. He used to upset Cantona a lot by making such mistakes before Cantona retired. He failed to prove himself in an international squad. After leaving United, Andy had never been able to produce many goals again because other teams couldn't provide him that as much opportunities as that United did for him. If we replaced him with Ruud Van Nisterlooy, Ruud may produce 40+ goals a season.
@boji1980 Everyone upset Cantona at various tomes. Cantona demanded perfection (part of the reason he was so great). Andy was getting on in years when he left, that coupled with the inferior service he was getting from the weaker teams he was playing with, and it's understandable that he would score far fewer goals. The reason I would call him world class is because he is the second highest goal scorer in premier league history. He's scored more that Henry, Berkamp, Ruud and other great strikers
@boji1980 Ruud only produced one 40+ season, he didn't do it multiple times (not that it isn't an amazing achievement, I'm just saying that he wasn't doing that all the time). And you can be world class without being as good as Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Ruud is one of the greatest goal scorers ever to play the game. He's the second highest goal scorer in European history, only behind Raul.
@utd4life62 100% agree about Andy Cole. He never really got his due because of all the Shearer fan boys in the media at the time (Not saying Cole was a better player than Shearer though!). Glen Hoddle accused Cole of needing too many chances to score. What that mystic twat Hoddle didnt appreciate is that Cole's positioning was so good that he got himself in positions to score, often difficult positions, that other strikers couldnt see. Cole's goal tally speaks for itself.
his passing is just sheer class

From highlights I used to think Cariick was crap but the more I watched him in full games I saw how good he was as a defensive midfielder - he's certainly good when United have 'backs to the wall' games. He does his job. However, Michael is pretty static as midfielders go and often prefers to try the Hollywood ball as a his means of getting forward when others would run and press. When they work, fine. When they get cut out it looks bad as it gives the ball back to the opposition.

Fair play and a fair assessment of Carrick. Pity most fans just don't admit they ONLY watch highlights and slate Carrick because they don't much of him in them. If you haven't watched the full game, you can't even have a vaild opinion on a player's performance as far as I'm concerned. there's a hell of a lot that goes on in between, especially for defensive-minded players.
A lot of fans will talk about how he doesn't score much at all, that's how you know a "MOTD fan"..

@fuenlath First of all, you say that Carrick has no vision, yet there are a multitude of incredible passes in the above video. I know it's only highlights, but a player with no vision would not be able to make ANY of the passes in the video. And more recently, I remember an incredible pass to Giggs, who then set up Rooney for the first goal in the CL Quarter-final first leg against Chelsea, a game where he won man of the match, and did so again in the second leg.
utd4life62 7 months ago
@fuenlath And as for not turning up in big games, how can you say a CL quarter-final against our main domestic rivals is not a big game. Don't blame him for getting outclassed by Xavi and Iniesta, they do the exact same thing to every midfielder they face. Carrick is a great player, but Xavi and Iniesta are in a league of their own when it comes to central midfielders.

Have you ever heard about Liam Miller, Kleberson or maybe Djemba-Djemba? Do you even watch the games? Carrick was one of the main reasons United reached the CL final this year with his displays against Chelsea and Schalke. Just because he doesn't score many goals or provide a lot of assists doesn't mean he is shit. How come United have won the league 4 out of 5 times after Carrick was signed? And don't tell me that is coincidence.

@TheNewProdigy2010 I bring them up because you meant Carrick was the worst player to ever pull on a United shirt which is simply wrong. Carrick played in total 43 games in the previous season so there's no doubt he was important. We are trying to sign Sneijder because a certain Paul Scholes decided to retire. How can you even compare Sneijder and Carrick? Sneijder is a offensive playmaker who plays in the hole, while Carrick is a defensive holding midfielder. Completely different players.

@ProductionsWazza Soz but i agree with the other dude Carrick is not that good in a holding position and once fletcher is fit its bye bye Carrick. But Carrick is brilliant in a higher up the field position in a more attacking role, remember the 06/07 and 07/08 seasons, he was one of the best midfielders in the world.

@ProductionsWazza I agree with Wazza for a couple of reasons; first, like wazza noted, Carrick is certainly not the worst player to ever put on a United kit --no reason to look so far back as kleberson or Miller...simply have a look at Bebe. Second, Carrick is, and has been, vital to United's midfield since his signing due to his positional ability in the holding role of midfield. United havent had that sort of midfielder that sits on directs traffic since Keano.

Just looking at some of the criticisms for Michael Carrick it’s obvious that a lot of fans don’t know anything about football, and probably can’t even play football. The game isn’t just about little fancy flicks and scoring form range. In order to win a football game you need to keep hold of the football, Carrick does that brilliantly. He starts up attacks from the back, can open up defences with his passing ability. He gets played almost week in week out by one the best manager ever!!!

Without the class and technique of the likes of Carrick and Berbatov with all due respect United would just be an ordinary team fighting for UCL qualification. Their composure and class stands out amidst a sea of workman like players and inspite of this they face the wrath and ire of most of so called Utd supporters. Carrick just glides through midfield and his tackling is not world class and need not be cause his interceptions are absolute world class. Hope Carrick and Dimi stay for eternity.

Before the second leg of the semi final of the champions league this season I heard Carrick had played the most football for us in the champions leauge. An ex city defender was saying that Carrick was key to our succsess in the champions league. You need balance in your team. If we had 11 Ronaldos on the pitch we wouldn't win a thing so watch the game properly and think about it instead of looking for people who catch they eye by running with it and scoring goals like little kids.

I am not huge Carrick, I really do think he under-performs regularly. But what I see is that he's one of the players Ferguson trusts really much, and that's enough for me. If he's good for Ferguson - he's good for United. I doubted Ferguson enough times before and I'm tired of being wrong. That man knows what he's doing and if he thinks Carrick, Evans, Gibson, Rafael and so on are needed for United, than it's the best argument for me.

Although they do need to improve, especially Evans who according to Sir Alex "is well grounded in terms of what's needed here. His time will come."
Can't wait to see that :)

Before everyone comes and blames Michael Carrick for the loss to Arsenal (and they will), I would just like to say, If you have to be childish and blame someone, Park Ji Sung was the one who was supposed to be marking Ramsey. however, I'm hoping (probably in vain) that we won't see childish gloryhunters feeling the need to put the blame on someone, so that we can move on to actually supporting Man Utd.

@khusul It's just the usual. The gloryhunters feel like they need to pin the blame on someone, and because they're too stupid to understand what football, they just throw the blame at Carrick. A lot of gloryhunters come into games with a pre-conception that he's going to play shite, so unless he's the best on the field by a mile, they're always going to say he's shite. I just wish they could grow up and stop feeling the need to pin the blame on one player.
utd4life62 10 months ago
@utd4life62 Spot on! As you said, they've already got that pre-conception that he's going to play shite, and I think that's because he's our no.16, Keano's successor, and so they think that he should be ending careers too. Don't get me wrong, Keano's a legend but let's face it, modern midfielders/ players can't be like that anymore, Keano was lucky in his time at Old Trafford but football itself has changed now. The one player who's taken the team leader role imo is Vidic :)
khusul 10 months ago
@khusul I don't think they're expecting him to play like exactly like Keane, I think they expect him to be more like a Nicky Butt, because I'm pretty sure that even the gloryhunters understand that Keane is one of that was unmatched in his postion. I half agree with you that players can't play like Keane anymore, but I do think some players get away with it. De Jong and Mascherano are both dirty bastards, and they get called top class, But as a majority, players like Keane have been stamped out.
utd4life62 10 months ago
@khusul I'll agree with you on Vidic, that man (if he can be called that lol) is just incredible. I've never seen a defender physically dominate the way he does. When he's on top form, there are times when you know that United are going to keep a clean sheet after only a couple of minuets. If I were to select an all time greatest XI, Nemanja Vidic would be in it next to Franz Beckenbauer, I think he's that good!
utd4life62 10 months ago
@utd4life62 He's so amazing! I feel so proud of him, having him in our team is a blessing! And actually each and every United player is a blessing really, bcoz they're the ones who work their arses off on that pitch, and contribute so much to the team in every possible way. Vidic is a hero though, am actually reading his biography and trust me, this man's awesome! He's gone through so much but doesn't let it show and he also gives his all on the pitch. The best defender in the whole world!
khusul 10 months ago
@khusul He's easily the best defender in the world imo. Even the likes of Ferdinand, Terry, Cavalho and Puyol don't quite march up. The only thing is, he's lacks pace, so really fast strikers can sometimes get the better of him, but anyone who isn't lightning quick doesn't stand a chance.
utd4life62 10 months ago
@khusul The best thing is though, I think that Chris Smalling has the potential to be even better. He's still a long way off, but he's got amazing physical presence, like Vidic, but he's got the composure and intelligence of Rio. That lad is going to be something special.
utd4life62 10 months ago
@utd4life62 Also, and that's MY personal opinion, I don't think the club needs to splash the cash on bringing new players in Summer coz we've got the players at Old Trafford itself! Our bench is full of fresh talent, waiting to come on, including the reserves players coming up. Of course, we need a goalie with VDS retiring (unsure abt that lately tho) but that's all. Like I said, it's my opinion but of course, Sir Alex is the big Boss.

Whenever I watch he plays, he always slows the pace of the game, makes bad passes or passes the ball backwards. This guy can't destroy the pace of the opposite team like Roy Keane did. Not to mention that he has less technique to dribble pass an opponent. He's not good enough for United.

utd4life62 10 months ago
@utd4life62 I disagree that Andy Cole is a world class player. He made too many silly mistakes in the box. He used to upset Cantona a lot by making such mistakes before Cantona retired. He failed to prove himself in an international squad. After leaving United, Andy had never been able to produce many goals again because other teams couldn't provide him that as much opportunities as that United did for him. If we replaced him with Ruud Van Nisterlooy, Ruud may produce 40+ goals a season.
boji1980 10 months ago
@boji1980 Everyone upset Cantona at various tomes. Cantona demanded perfection (part of the reason he was so great). Andy was getting on in years when he left, that coupled with the inferior service he was getting from the weaker teams he was playing with, and it's understandable that he would score far fewer goals. The reason I would call him world class is because he is the second highest goal scorer in premier league history. He's scored more that Henry, Berkamp, Ruud and other great strikers
utd4life62 10 months ago
@boji1980 Ruud only produced one 40+ season, he didn't do it multiple times (not that it isn't an amazing achievement, I'm just saying that he wasn't doing that all the time). And you can be world class without being as good as Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Ruud is one of the greatest goal scorers ever to play the game. He's the second highest goal scorer in European history, only behind Raul.
utd4life62 10 months ago
@utd4life62 100% agree about Andy Cole. He never really got his due because of all the Shearer fan boys in the media at the time (Not saying Cole was a better player than Shearer though!). Glen Hoddle accused Cole of needing too many chances to score. What that mystic twat Hoddle didnt appreciate is that Cole's positioning was so good that he got himself in positions to score, often difficult positions, that other strikers couldnt see. Cole's goal tally speaks for itself.
