I was reading some interesting stats where Matic and Coquelin's tackles and interceptions are off the chart in comparison to Carricks.
Anyone know what Carrick does back there?
1.) 20 Jun 2015 10:59:43
Racking up epl titles.
5 in total.
Thats what he does best!
Typical British outlook, the best holding midfielder is the one who tackles hardest and runs around the most 😊
2.) 20 Jun 2015 11:13:03
Shout at the others and allow Fellaini, Mata and Rooney to play where they can be useful?
3.) 20 Jun 2015 12:34:43
Lol as per usual gav, little Marcellus is lobbying for attention.
Hope ure well thou.
4.) 20 Jun 2015 12:47:22
Good old marcelles
5.) 20 Jun 2015 12:59:20
Wow so now he's a holding midfielder who can't tackle or make interceptions and he doesn't do what Fabregas or Cazorla do and isn't half the player. Jeez, get rid I say.
So like I said what exactly does he do apart from your usual look how many medals I've got.
The lengths you jokers go to to make your players sound so much better than they are.
It's going to be a long wait for your next trophy fella ;-)
6.) 20 Jun 2015 13:46:19
I agree Marcellus, we even have to suck up to rival fans in order to try and get a few onside in our ramblings.
Oh wait :)
7.) 20 Jun 2015 14:08:11
Yes mate I've been noticing you do it on a daily basis here fella and you even had to bring some friends over in attempts to convince the gooners how good you are.
Bet they love having you here as cannon fodder.
I was PMSL at your poor attempts to big up that boy Herrera.
Chin up son and keep up the brown nosing. Oh try some original banter when you 5 minutes. ;-)
How you doing Malaga.
8.) 20 Jun 2015 14:58:35
I'm doing good mate
I see you have the mancs on the run yet again
9.) 20 Jun 2015 15:12:24
Talking about carrick and Herrera and trying to convince people there are good is a bit like saying " Hi everyone my name is Dave and I have got herpes, but on the plus side I have rode lots of horses without a saddle "
Nice one Dave let's have some

Its a sad day when people have stopped judging footballers by actually watching football, now its all stats and footy manager. Yet these same people think their opinion matters in some way?
Thats funny low brow, I bet le Coq is a worldy now after his good 6 month stint though?
For those who honestly need help to understand - sure Carrick is no beast in the tackle and doesn't run around like a blue ar*se fly (must be crap then lol). But his defensive positioning is very good, he sniffs out danger and makes lots of valuable interceptions. But here's the crux of it - what sets him apart from most holding midfielders is a mix of composure, passing range and ability to set the tempo (an invaluable asset he learnt from the best, Scholes).
All these players have different assets but Coq for instance, whilst being more of a beast defensively, needs the likes of Cazorla to drop in and do this work because he can't set the tempo himself. Looks a decent player mind, not saying otherwise. But I would hope nobody seriously talks about him in the same breath as Carrick at this stage in his career because that would be a tad embarrassing.
Matic is top quality, a beast in defence, athletic enough and comfortable on the ball to boot. He can't really dictate, like Carrick, but he can do a lot if other things that Carrick cannot. Along with Hazard he's Chelsea's most important player.
You see lads, it is possible to be objective about both your own players and opposition players.
But for the likes of Marcellus, who rely on stats, motd highlights and footy manager - you'll never be capable. Sorry
11.) 20 Jun 2015 16:40:35
Why thank you honey, you proved my point beautifully, he has pathetic interception stats compared to the other two but he apparently makes interceptions by reading the game. Nice.
He dictates the game like Cazorla and Fabregas but you want to call him a defensive mid or is it a deep lying mid to compare him to Coquelin and Matic. Pure genius, you jumped right in with both feet. Lol.
Maybe a little to much match of the day fella, you should try going to some games mate, remember when we were at Old Gashford and we sang race you back to London after you all left early.
Oh no fella you were at home in Wales. ;-)
You fella are comedy genius, twisted yourself in knots a treat. ;-)
12.) 20 Jun 2015 17:12:31
Oh yeah HB sure its early days with le coq so we can take him out the equation but please don't tell me carrick has even one single plus on matic cause that's embarrassing.
All that been said what I have noticed on this site is that people get very precious about possitions and they are so many different buzz words surrounding positions. You get a style of playing a position and all of a sudden it's no longer a style but an actual position. So please GK defender midfielder and CF and let the managers select the form and the personnel to suit
13.) 20 Jun 2015 17:37:05
Ok fella (hard man talk if ever I saw it)
I guess you're right Carrick is not a holding midfielder (who said defensive mid its not the 1990's anymore you know?) and doesn't play the deepest of 3 centre mids, as do Coq and Matic. I got it wrong the whole time.
I guess Alonso, Busquets et al aren't holding mids either because they don't go round bashing people up.
Can you imagine Cazorla or Fabregas playing without anyone in behind them in the Prem? Now that would be a laugh. that's kind if the difference I thought but no I'm wrong clearly.
Old gashford? Not from Manchester? Comedy genius? Yeh some lovely intellectual points you make there, I think my IQ just shrunk reading it 😊
Well done for turning the motd quip back on me a la "I know you are but what am I"
Some lovely banter on this page recently - and then Marcellus turned up 😎
14.) 20 Jun 2015 18:04:23
Haha, u got to love Marcellus, he's a beauty that's for sure.
Notice the "hi Malaga please back me up"
The funny thing is Malaga like a lost puppy falls for it every time.
15.) 20 Jun 2015 19:09:16
So low brow, if there's no difference between those midfield positions you'd happily go back to having Ramsey and Cazorla in midfield without le Coq?
Funny that because from reading this site le Coq has been your saviour due to the lack of balance you had in midfield previously. I must have dreamt that.
Matic is top quality, one of the best in his position in Europe. I have no problem admitting that I even said it in my last post! But yeah Carrick is better as controlling possession even though Matic edges him on most other things - just watch them play and you'll see it. Its not even a dig at Matic just being objective.
I don't think its me getting precious here 😵
16.) 20 Jun 2015 22:10:18
Not aimed at you badger. It's most people on here arsenal fans included that go on about intricacies within possitions. It depends where you play who you play you just see daft comparisons all the time.
17.) 20 Jun 2015 23:09:50
Fair play mate, for a second there I thought you were on the same level as Marcello Williams. I'm so, so, so sorry for ever thinking that!😃
06 Dec 2013 07:32:23
Morning All,
Well it's getting close to our game and yours with City, it's going to be between the 3 of us for the title and I say that still thinking a Saurez led Liverpool will have some kind of say in the top four.
Have to say as much as it did us a favour to keep you close I was disappointed you didn't batter the increasingly bitter Mancs. Best team doesn't always win. Thought it was funny that Southampton could lose 3 on the trot and still be above them. LMFAO.
Anyway guys I'm liking the look of you lot this year, but hoping we edge it, you can beat City instead. Either way it's going to be some good games between us and Citeh. I can't wait.
Good luck
1.) 06 Dec 2013 09:45:45
Hello mate hope your good
I think you should get an award for all the work you do on the mancs page, keep it up.
2.) Even though we're at home against your lot i'd take a draw and be very content with that. Chelsea and especially Mourinhio knows how to play against us. Wenger has never beaten a Mourinhio team. I hate losing to your lot.
Flybo
3.) I think it's about time Wenger beats Mourinho, however it will be a great game.
08 Nov 2013 11:11:32
So boys,
Probably your biggest test coming up, they're starting to look good even though their league position is unexpected.
Add to that a manager getting the team to play his way and fitting in new signings.
Are you confident you can beat the Saints ;-)
1.) The saints? am I missing something?
2.) One game at a time Marcellus mate :-)
We got a game Sunday don't forget and although December might look like a quite month for us we must treat all games equally
3.) Telling all my Man Utd. friends that I feel quite relaxed about Sunday, it wouldn't be the end of the world if we don't win as Arsenal need to focus on beating teams in the top 6. To a man they seemed quite hurt :-)
4.) Lol, good one marcellus

62 I’ve said nothing that isn’t true, Mourinho has never been my favourite person and the incident with Eva Caniero pretty much summed him up.
There is no requirement for me to like him simply because he was our manager. He failed that season simple as.
I’m not bitter nor do I have any sour grapes, we won the title the following season and I’d put money on it we’ll win it again before United do.
He has flattered to deceive and made in my opinion poor buys with the resources available to him. You have been labelled flat track bullies and that is the current United side much as their onerous fans will kid themselves otherwise.
He had a lot to do to show he still has it for me, it’s my opinion mate.
Hey Malaga, I’m good, just basking in the glory of last season, it’s tough to defend a title but it ain’t over until the Ravers bird starts singing. ;-)
17 Oct 2017 10:26:47
What do you make of the fact United pretty much robbed Southampton in the EFL and won the easiest of Europa league finals, that they had, until Liverpool, played 7 of last season bottom 8, that in 35 games against top 6 sides Lukaku has scored 5 goals, in 25 games against the top 6 sides Ozil has scored 5 goals.
What do you make of the fact United having played such free scoring games previously decided to play that drivel they churned out on Sunday against a supposedly hopeless Liverpool defence. Having also spent 100's of millions.
Maureen had a long way to go to prove he still has it for me.
21 Jun 2015 15:31:46
Bond is brilliant, isn't he CTR. Lol ;-)
21 Jun 2015 15:40:13
Evening Honey,
Please don't think the term fella was an attempt to be intimidating, now should I say mate, geezer, dude, see it's not easy to know what to put without causing concern.;-)
Your Avatar is threatening enough as it is. ;-)
You are actually one of the more honest United posters and I get you for sticking up for Carrick but who ever you compare him too I'm certain you'd actually love an upgrade.
Same for Herrera, I could see him as a first teamer for say the Saints or Everton even though he is an upgrade on your current mids but United need to get some serious quality in there. :-)
21 Jun 2015 09:56:57
Dags,
I actually like you guys and like CTR likes to consider himself your clubs voice of reckoning I am theirs.
That young lad is a heller for copying me and others who have been owning him for some time now.
They love using the usual, look at our trophies, we are the biggest club in the world, yawn.
To me last season there were 3 teams who looked like a team, us, you, albeit only from January, and in my opinion Southampton, but for the injury to Foster they would have run United closer for your old 4th place trophy.
United are currently a mix of triers, not good enoughs and the odd player of quality.
They love to justify players like Carrick, clearly not good enough for a top team, good player but past what sell by date he ever had, yet for them a big miss. Says it all.
Anyone but a United fan can see the difference Coquelin has made and you only have to watch him to see the potential.
I love that CTR whilst tells you what he THINKS and that out trumps what you guys THINK is happening here.
I found this site a while back and after reading some of the stuff they come up with on the United page just had to register for some fun.
At the moment they're creaming themselves over a young Brazillian who scored in the U20 World Cup, another new Ronaldo on the horizon. ;-)
So Matic and Fabregas, Cazorla and Coquelin or the mighty Carrick and Herrera. lol.
Apparently Herrera is classy and has an eye for goal, I once read that about Charlie Adams. ;-)
