I know how it works but at times we are just not very good at it against opponents who have worked us out and use it to exploit our frailties when confidence levels dip and can't execute it effectively to the point where we get ourselves in trouble. I'm not advocating that we adopt route one Pulis style, just at periods in games to relieve self induced pressure, to use our opponents tactics in smothering us as their Achilles heel.

Playing pretty intricate football is great to watch, getting beat by it or struggling against the likes of Rotherham with it isn't. My concern is that Carrick continued it against Chelsea when it was doing far more damage to us than Chelsea themselves, it's a concern when the Manager can't or won't switch things around during games. 

I agree with that 😀 But it is what it is right now. I think Carrick is also learning, but he has his way how we want us to play and as a new coach he probably is a bit stubborn

Barring an injury to Howson, I'm not sure he will, except for rotation purposes.

Can't see us blowing £5-6m on him if Carrick doesn't rate him in front of Howson or Barlasser

Which is a shame as I REALLY rate him
