back to carrick
his passing is sublime
unfortunatly he tired toward the end with not a midfielder other than fletcher to replace him

see johnny auditioning for the role
Evans is a donkey, he did one good thing getting the ball back and then he kicks it out for a throw in. Half of the time he looks baffled when running with the ball, fool.
johnny wont be at ot after this season.
hopefully shaw and rafa stay fit for remainder of season ith rojo back soon and evans ill have played his last game this season
another cb signing and jones can follow evans out the door also
The White Zico, that, that's made me laugh
Great pass though.
Rvps control was fantastic. Lloris stopped the move rvp was trying to attempt. Fantastic save by him.
RVPs control was sublime but the decision to try and switch it to the right foot was the wrong one. He should have tried to poke/stud it past Lloris.
Yes Elvis, why he didn't just take it with his left was shocking really.
Reminded me of Madrid, in Madrid I think it was when he had a couple of chances; certainly one excellent chance.
But he does score a lot. Just the Cantona's of this world didn't really miss chances like that. I believe Falcao will be a big game player. I desperately hope we keep him. He's only gonna get better.
We will miss Carrick when he goes. Some ex footballer hit the nail on the head the other day as to why Carrick is so important. Once he gets into form he puts in 7/10 performances every week without fail. He never fluctuates and successful teams need those kind of players. Most players have periods of good and bad form. Carrick is reliable and allows everyone else to play their game.
I used control to describe the error he made because it's the first word that came to my head, but basically what the Elvis lad said. He should've just shot with his left foot. Such a shame.
RVP should have headed it in 'super van' style. Great pass though. It looks like carrick is trying to make more forward/longer passes than usual. LVG probably may have asked him to be adventurous with his passing
Yeah it was a very nice pass, took a player like RVP to control it kind, most players wouldn't have been able to do anything with it at all.
Funny how Carrick used to be the hate figure at United, especially on these pages.
The days wasted on here trying to educate those who didn't understand what he did. Happy days.
I though Carrick really tired in the last 30 or so minutes and Spurs went for that weakness.
The Carrick pass I really liked was his one to Mata in the second half who then crossed it in for RVP who blazed it over. To see it so early and the weight was perfect it just looked really nice.

unfortunately with just fletcher the only cm on the bench lvg had nobody to replace carrick
I thaught LVG's tactical changes and substitutions were spot on in the end
"RVP should have headed it in 'super van' style"
Or hit it 1st time like he has done in the past

tell me about it
had too many idiots on here calling him a crab and a sideways and backwards passer only
Carrick is easily one of the best midfielders in the pl and perhaps europe where he would more appreciated

If RVP had scored it would have been a peach of a goal. His control was sublime, he just tried to take one touch too many imo. It's easy to say that retrospectively though - RVP had to make a split second decision and made the wrong one. It happens...
Some fans have been talking about that chance as though it was a sitter but not many strikers would have controlled the pass in the first place imo so that is harsh.
In fact, I think fans have been harsh on RVP in general this season. He has not been at his best but he is still our best finisher and joint top scorer. Normally he is more clinical than he has any right to be so I don't begrudge him the odd missed chance. It is only frustrating because we are not creating that many chances at the moment but that is not the fault of the strikers. The likes of Yorke and Cole were not more clinical than RVP - they just had better service so it mattered less when they missed a chance. Invariably they would get another one...(or ten).
