    Haha it is a good point though.. Does that mean 30% of his passes are almost all to De Gea!

    You forgot the other CB & the wingbacks. If Carrick was playing in the same position last season that stat would be very different.
    My point is that he has so many more options to pass to compared to last year when he had the world champion at hide & seek playing with him.

    Like I said I've been impressed with how he's returned... still don't think when our defence is fit he should be a cornerstone of our midfield, we need the next player to step up

    90% of all passes should be to De Gea.

    When in doubt, let Big Dave sort it out.

    Van Gaal also tells #MUTV of the fantastic atmosphere among his players: "We have a lot of confidence built up." #mufc

    This is what makes me happy.

    I suppose when you post in the Liverpool thread using worlds such as we and us, then yeah, guess he does.

    But that dosent mean you can't hve an opinion on carrick. What do you think of him

    I can't make sense of your posts. "Worlds such as we and us, guess he does" makes no sense at all.

    Fellaini is ill, LvG tells MUTV. He doesn't expand though, no mention of his chances of playing tomorrow.

    Really looking forward to tomorrow now.

    pity about Fellaini, but we should have too much for Villa.

    And who is "he"?

    Anyway, Carricks obviously going to have more forward passes when he's a defender when he has more options in front of him. But because I'm a Liverpool fan I get petty insults thrown my way.

    And my comment wasn't an opinion on Carrick, it was an opinion on a stat of Carrick.

    English cities in general are kips, Manchester being a classic example!

    I was in Manchester in 1991.

    You think it was a kip now, it was a x100 back then

    Anyone with a decent memory will know I've been a huge Carrick naysayer for quite some time now. But he's impressed me since his return this season so credit where credit's due.

    even a naysayer when he was one of the top midfielders in Europe 2 years ago and wenger said he should have won player of the year?!

    I'm not myopic he has had good seasons at United but there were times where I felt he was poor (last season) or that his inability to take the ball, turn and distribute was causing us to play a style of play that was too slow and laboured... taking the sting out of our wing play and ability to counter attack.

    The sidewards and backwards passing argument I know can be countered by statistics related to forward passing so that's not quite it...

    I think he's a good player, he has some good qualities but I think a club like United should have a much stronger player in that position. I expect better

    You make it sound like it was his fault alone. It was clearly the system/manager.

    He played under a manager that told all our midfielders not to get on front of the ball. Its no coincidence that they all struggled. That in turn left him a lot less options than what hes seeing under LVG this season.

    He is never going to be an physical enforcer, people still seem to hold against him. He does do that job but just in a different way. He tends to put out fires before they happen.

    Simply put look at what we've won with him in that role. He played a huge part in it all.
