Michael Carrick has not been given another contract. What is the point in keeping him in the starting lineup every game? (self.reddevils)

PabloPervguy が 投稿

I love Michael Carrick but the more I see him play now the more hate is starting to build up. This hate is coming from frustrations in the whole team I don't want to single Carrick out but I was thinking about this today: If Carrick hasn't been given another contract what is the point in keeping him playing every game? The motivation is gone already at this point for him clearly he thinks the club doesn't believe in him anymore otherwise there'd be another contract handed to him, but until now there hasn't been one. That surely means the club thinks he's not good enough anymore yet Van Gaal still keeps playing him every game. What is the point in keeping him in the starting lineup now that he's basically been given the directions out the door. Any outgoing player like that should be benched.

honestly trying to find logic in LVG'S player selection is a hopless cause

Giggs & Scholes never signed their one year extensions until the season was practically over, I'd imagine the situation with Carrick is similar. Carrick isn't a problem.

Carrick was fine today.

Seems he gets a harsh time because of his age while Blind gets praised despite being a part of us conceding goals yet again. He got loads of praise for winning the ball back from Dier but it was his fault for dwelling on the ball.

I just want people to look at Blind for the first goal and tell me he did a good job.

That's a very bold assumption to make about someone who's conduct has been nothing but professional since his arrival.

Was set up for countering I thought. Add better defensive stability with carrick over herrera to soak up the spurs pressure, then press high up with the young players up top to win the ball as high up the field as possible. That's what I thought anyways

Yup - that's why Lingard was in the middle, why Rashford was up top and why Carrick was playing.

Herrera. I know they are not the same kind of player but we have a good midfielder wasted sitting in the bench.

The "not the same player" point is crucial. Carrick is playing because United messed up last summer. The only similar player in the squad is a crock. Herrera should be playing as the most as advanced of the midfield three.

Agreed, fellaini should definitely be starting /s

Seems normal for older players. I guess the management is waiting to see if we make it to CL first and then his experience would be needed in that phase in a larger squad. If we don't make it to CL (gosh, I dread over EL!) then a smaller squad will be needed next year and he would be let go. I look at Elnenny, Kante, Drinkwater and see that any of them would be a massive upgrade from Carrick/Schweini. We need a Sanches or a William Carvalho desperately. Hell, even Axel Witsel would do. Or, play the beast Fosu-Mensah in CM where he is a natural.

Dunno. Yesterday he seemed to be just a dude walking around, did absolutely nothing at all. I can't really comment because yesterday's game was total tactical ineptitude.

It's like when Vidic had signed for Inter, out season was over but we kept playing him in every game despite needing to develop Jones and Smalling.
