Are you f***ing kidding me? Michael Carrick overrated?

Do you even know how to watch football?

Ashley Cole might be hated, but he's not entirely overrated. As a Man United fan, I can tell you that 9 times out of 10 Cristiano Ronaldo CANNOT dribble past Ashley Cole. That's why during the UCL final, they played Ronaldo against Essien knowing that it's tough to get past Ashley Cole. And it paid off quite well in the first half until Ronaldo failed to track Essien which led to the goal by Lampard.

But seriously...Michael Carrick overrated? You've got to be kidding me.

Just because Carrick doesn't do flashy dribbling moves, or he doesn't score very often doesn't mean he's overrated. If you have any footballing sense at all, you will realise just how important Carrick is to Manchester United.

Do you ever notice how Carrick always tracks back to help his defenders? Do you ever notice how he always wins the ball in midfield? Have you ever seen how brilliant his passing can be?

I doubt you do, people with no footballing sense like you talk as if you're a football expert. Have you seen his stellar display versus Columbia in the 2006 World Cup? Many  England pundits are at lost as to why Carrick is not being selected.

Open up your eyes man, and don't say stupid things.

liverpool was once overrated, that was when they're the king of europe.
then it was notthingham forest. and chelsea under jose mourinho...is it? 
in between chelsea, there is mu 
how about the over-performing arsenal with less result to show?

conclusion, any english team that had conquered the bpl and europe over and over (minus chelsea)
are overrated, huh?? 
btw, at the rate mu is going, it's only a matter of time before they catch up with the rest.

of the list above, ashley cole is overrated.
but bent and barry should make it to the list.

dude, no need to react like this.. 

for A.Cole, i do think he's overrated since his transfer from Arsenal to Chelsea. he perform much better then (just my personal opinion, chelsea fans can give better judgement since they watch him more).

for carrick, overprice, yes...overrated, no. this thread is about overrated, not overprice. i personally think players like gerrard, rooney and lampard are overrated during international. they just cant bring their club form to international.

If one player can only perform well against a certain player, but somehow tend to suck against the rest, and considering how highly touted he once was, if you dont call that overrated, i rest my case.

AND, have you seen Laurent Robert play? wow he's brilliant in say 2 out of 10 matches, so he's an all time great already?

yeah they are overated by many Asian,many ppl believe MU is the great/best team in the world but MU is not in top 5 succesfull club in Europe (according to UEFA Champions League record) and even they still behind Liverpool in EPL title

just go to China and ask 100 ppl which club is the best in the world and i bet 90 of them answer MU

You first paragraph refers to Ashley Cole?

One last thing; I think you'll find that a lot of people are saying our win in Istanbul was lucky and that AC Milan deserved to win. Don't make it out as though the whole world is against you. Ask anyone to see if I'm right about what I said.

So are Barcelona overrated then judging from the fact that their record in Europe is piss poor as well?

Man Utd this season are the best team in Europe. There's no two ways about it. But before any MU fan gets too cocky about it let me say that things can change pretty quickly in football.

Liverpool deserve to win la bro even i support Milan in the final,not many team cant win after 0-3 but Liver`s spirit and Rafa genius tactic make they deserve to lift the cup
lolz,here also want to continue Barca - Madrid,we in English overrate discussion thread la bro,if u really interested discuss about Barca=overated just go and open Most overrated football in Spain thread

You didn't answer my question. I wasn't trying to incite any Barca-Madrid rivalry. I'm just saying based on what you said the same would apply to Barca wouldn't it?

All I'm trying to imply is that the way you judge Man Utd as overrated is ridiculous.

At least learn how to comprehend what I'm saying before replying back to me.

Like Ashley Cole, its hard to remember Theo Walcott play 1 excellent game when he plays like crap in the other 9 games

I don't see how what you have said has anything to do with Barca-Madrid rivalry. Nothing close at all.

And to say the way he judges Man United as overrated is ridiculous is like calling Sean Kingston fat - a severe understatement
