Been our best midfielder since we signed him, like someone said it's not a coincidence that we've won the league every year since we bought him...The job he does goes under alot of peoples radars cos he's not flying into tackles or smashing it top corner every week...His decision making is what sets him apart, I can't believe someone would say Gibson is a better player because everytime he's within 35yds he tries to shoot, that just shows how niave(sp?) he is...carrick doesn't always play the safe pass, he more often than not plays the RIGHT pass which had been a massive factor in us passing teams to death the last few years, yes he come up short against barca but who didn't that day?!?!
