That is some rather spectacular logic. Let's sign players just so we can play them out of position. WTF?

I'm trying to understand the root of your contempt for Carrick. He's been solid if unspectacular for us, which is basically his
modus operandi anyway. Do we need another player with a knack for the spectacular and with tons of flair? If so, why?
Champions' League final = match played in bad conditions on a pitch hastily prepared and against an opponent all too familiar with United's play. Furthermore, I hope you're aware that Michael Carrick played 390 minutes vs. Chelsea this past season. The more you play one opponent, the harder it gets to stand out against them at any given time. You pick on Carrick for underperforming during that night in Moscow, you pick on most of United's players that evening.
At Stamford Bridge a month earlier? Tactical backfiring on Sir Alex' part. The man
is human, after all. And I hope you're not holding that penalty decision against him, since that could just as easily have been anyone else.
