Now he is but not in his prime. Damn good holding midfielder.

Good holding midfielder yeah. Not much in an attacking sense. He had a decent career. Not a great player by any stretch of the imagination though.

Carrick is like Barry. Appreciated by his own teammates and supporters. Not really rated by outsiders.

I like him because of his pass to Yaya in the cup semi in 2010.

You say that as if to be a great player you have to be able to attack.

true but a bit of context is needed

Carrick was very good.

just watching independiente vs river plate on bein 1, and german lux got sent off for river plate for catching a lofted ball about 10 yards outside his penalty box. didnt punch it or palm it down, just came out and caught it.

Despite the advantage of the internet. I'm finding it difficult to follow Tony Popovic, and what influence he's having on Karabukspor. I see that they're in relegation zone and the worst recent form line. They had a win. But was that win with Popovic in charge? It doesn't seem clear to me.

I thought, could he head it away? Then I took another look and the bounce appeared to be too high for that, so what would’ve made that video more epic was a Rene Higuita type clearance.

If true, amazing.

Decent hit. Commentary brings it down a bit and you see those all the time in Europe.

A-League is gash.

So you'd be able to show me a similar one from Europe this season then?

Erm....

Good hit.

That's one.

It wouldn't be true. Why do people still fall for these quotes haha.

 

[SM]

Good hit.

That's one.

I wouldn't even say so, not from as far out or hit with as much power, just hits it from the edge of the box.

lol turn it up. Outside of the foot, on an angle.

The A-league goal is also very good, but this is better.

Are you going to say this "from the edge of the box" too?

I didn't say it wasn't a good goal, did I? I said it wasn't the same sort of hit.

Er yes it is from the edge of the box..?

 

[Cruyff14]

Then this?

 

[Jatz]

These are all old haha. Doesn't fit the 'happens all the time in Europe' narrative.

Just posted pretty much the same goal in the Youf thread from Brewster in our U23s.
