Man U 1-2 Spurs

with Carrick looking a waste of money

United 4-1 Spurs.

I have never been impressed with Carrick. I think he's the wrong guy for united..
Hope he proves me wrong, though.

I think..
Two from Ronaldo, One from solskjaer(and the roof will come off old trafford and land on the sh*tty of manchester stadium.) and one from Giggsy.
And a Wes Brown own goal!! haha, no, a spurs goal by Defoe(if he's selected.)

Carrick is one of the most skillful players in the league and is great at holding on to the ball. But you might not appreciate it for a while, it took a while for it to show at Spurs. He's good at breaking up attacks, but he's not a Roy Keane. He tends to give it to other players to take it forward...and they don't call him Crabbick for nothing, he tends to pass the ball sideways.

BUT!!..he's free kicks and corners tend to be crap and need addressing, maybe Fergie is working on them, and he rarely got a goal for us. Although wouldn't be surprised if he got one Saturday

Don't know who will be up front for us, Berbi has been having problems so Mido might start, and he looks fit and slim at the moment, probably Keane partnering him. But Berbi and Mido together could be hot and intimidating for shortarse defences.
Good news is Ledly King is back to take control of the defense and Chimbonda may start

Maybe you lot have had an easier start then us which may have you in a false sense of security

Carrick is so over-rated. We have Ronaldo, Giggsy & Scholesy to get the ball forward. What United need is a more defensive player, like Keano was.
Maybe Carrick did look rather good at Tottenham..but that isn't saying much

Giggsy or Ronaldo take our free kicks and corners. Not Carrick, so that doesn't worry me.

Mido impressed me last season for some strange reason. And I have always been a Robbie Keane fan.
Is S. Malbranque going to play at some point do you think? I'll be worried if he does. Great player.

We have had an easy start. Not to worry, our first test will be against Arsenal a week on sunday..............

I'll be surprised if we get more then a draw, but its a funny old game. I'm glad Rooneys not playing though.

I agree Carrick has been over rated maybe, but I'm not sure he has fulfilled his potential yet. Carrick is defensive, but not in an aggressive way like Keane. He plays just in front of defence and breaks up attacks without kicking people as Keane did

Looks like Malbranque is having an operation so will be out for least 8 weeks, but I've always rated him and if we can get him fit, might be just the player we need.

The goons are flattering to receive at the moment, Their defence hasn't been up to much but Gallas should improve them, and they are struggle up front. Unless Henry plays well you might not have too many problems with them.

Are you watching it on the box or attending tomorrow ?
