Reddwarf's arguments I 100% agree with.
Also, if Carrick was at a team like Tottenham say, he would be a lot higher than he is. But playing for a club like United, you may say its easier to play well, but playing next to players like Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo, Scholes etc they are obviously going to be our most recognised players because they are the most attacking, and the best players in the team.
But Carrick has been fantastic this season imo. I'm glad he plays for us, and the only reason he doesn't get in the England squad is because hes not "high-profile enough" such as Lampard, Gerrard etc
And also, he plays well in the big games for the person who said he gets caught out at the top level.
And also, if he is our 9th best performer, then surely he deserves to be in the starting
11!
