Manchester United are struggling to remain on top for 90 minutes at the moment, which was addressed on RoM after our 1-1 draw with Everton. The general consensus was the reason behind our dropped points was we’re missing the creativity and stability that the likes of Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves can provide [...]
Injuries: Carrick and Hargreaves To Create Midfield Problem
During the pre-season I started to wonder how on earth we were going to pick our strongest XI. With all players available, it was looking as though one of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez would have to be dropped, whilst just two players from the group of Owen Hargreaves, Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick, [...]
Our Best Midfield Four – Who Is It?
There is always apprehension ahead of travelling to Fratton Park due to their recent good history against us. When looking at the players we had available to us, the worries increased. No Ryan Giggs, Nani, Cristiano Ronaldo, Park Ji-Sung, Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves, with Anderson supposedly exhausted after 6 games in 18 matches in [...]
Carrick: John Terry Is Wrong…We Will Improve
Following John Terry’s ludicrous suggestion that Manchester United’s young team had already peaked and had no room for improvement, Michael Carrick has hit back at the Chelsea cry-baby. It stands to reason that a team with so many talented youngsters, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez, Anderson and Nani, will continue to improve with [...]
Do We Need To Worry About Goals Against Newcastle?
Last season we scored a total of 11 goals against Newcastle, beating them 6-0 at home and 5-1 away. In these games, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 5 goals, Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney bagged 2 each, with Rio Ferdinand and Louis Saha also getting on to the scoresheet. United will certainly be without Ronaldo for the [...]
What Does Scholes Think Of Anderson, Carrick, Hargreaves and Fletcher?
For the final third of the 2005-2006 season, Ryan Giggs and John O’Shea proved to be the best central midfield pairing we had. Our team was ravaged by injuries, meaning even the likes of Richardson had a stint in the centre of our midfield. It was painful. Times have changed vastly since then, with Sir [...]
Giggs, Rooney, Ronaldo & Carrick: This Feels Great!
Manchester United claimed their 10th title in 16 years yesterday, the 17th in the clubs’ history. Whilst most United fans had previously been confident of retraining the title earlier than the last day, the excitement, nerves and satisfaction that came with winning it after the final game of the season certainly made up for it. [...]
Wow Michael Carrick Likes The Sound Of His Own Voice
Michael Carrick has started just 13 games for United in the league this season, despite the lengthy injuries to Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves. Following a decent debut season, he has played rather poorly so far this season, the lowest point coming against Birmingham on New Year’s Day. He was truly woeful, resembling something close [...]
Carrick Waiting For Ground To Swallow Him Up
The odds that Michael Carrick would become a United superstar were always stacked against him, after the club was forced to pay out a massive £18.6 million for him. He was a good player and had shown himself as worthy of attention at Spurs, but was he worth £18.6 million? Never. Regardless, with Keane gone, [...]
Finally, Some Good News Concerning Injuries
As I wrote about earlier this week, United have had a ridiculous time with injuries so far this season. Whilst we’ve had fighting talk from several players this week, the injuries have certainly been a concern to me. “The manager has chopped and changed this season already, whether that be due to injuries, or suspensions [...]
