The bloody forum is full of people wanting to know stuff that isn’t public knowledge whether it’s transfer news, injury news, team news, or whatever dramas are taking place behind the scenes.  
 

Ask Carrick if he’d base his strategy for an upcoming game on a leaked team from a football forum.  When you get that answer you’ll understand why it doesn’t matter in the slightest.

Precisely this, at the point in which you are receiving and passing on this info there is as much chance that an oppositions manager sees it and WhatsApps the squad to say "forget what we've worked on the last 3 days and double up on Isaiah Jones" than there is that he would rock up at an airport and Diego Forlan our all but done striker because 'Juninhoiscool' divulged his potential flight details.

If Carrick isn't bothered about the team being leaked why did he have a whinge about it earlier in the season?

You’d have to ask him but I’d imagine it’s a combination of not wanting any information of any kind to come out from behind the scenes, and the rampant paranoia that seems to effect lots of sports teams for some reason, as if knowing how long someone is likely to be out injured for is going to effect our season.
 

Carrick stated the other day that Latte Lath wouldn’t be available for this one.  So that’s him giving away team info ahead of the game.  I bet if someone had leaked it instead, or that Jones wouldn’t be available, he wouldn’t have liked it.  It’s about controlling information although god knows what difference they think it makes.  Coaches don’t prepare for games by trying to figure out the XI and gearing everything towards that.  They look at all possibilities, different selections, different formations etc.  You’d be wary of ever picking the same team twice in a row if you were genuinely concerned about the opposition knowing what the team is likely to be beforehand.
