He may be a bit of a luxury player at times, but when Michael Carrick gets it right it’s usually a treat to watch – just look at the arc on this beauty, putting Danny Welbeck through on goal with a sumptuous 25-yard needle-threading pass against Bolton yesterday…
Carrick’s deft, clipped goal against Bolton wasn’t half bad either. You can see it here if you wish.

Carrick was a man reborn in 2011, the CL final aside. Somehow he remembered what its like to make a forward pass and that he can actually be quite good at it
Carrick was a beauty last night..wish he was consistent like this…sigh :( !
Longball is long….
Beleive it or not Ronaldo did a better pass than this to Benzema in the beginning of the season vs Getafe.
Honestly, Criminally underrated player.
Holy Shit
sideways ?? crab-like ??
It’s good, really good. But I think Silva’s volleyed assist for Dzeko in the Manchester Derby is the pass of the season so far
Personally, I don’t rate him but its hard to pass judgement on a player you rarely watch, on TV or live. Can’t knock that though, perfect pass.
carrick is an under rated genius
Glad this is GIF-worthy after everyone wanking over Brunt’s pass the other week.
hey I enjoyed your site
I think that was delightful
