I think it’s laughable and totally delusional that Carrick thought that at the age of 35 yrs he could suddenly make an impact with England,when he couldn’t do so 10 yrs ago in his mid 20’s.Successive England managers have just used Carrick as the mug to just cover for injured or rested stars in between the major tournaments only to say ‘cheerio’ to him once the big tournaments began.It was obvious that Hodgson wouldn’t even think of picking Carrick once the likes of Henderson,Milner and Wilshere are fit and available so you would have thought he would have had the sense after all his recent injuries that he would have used the international breaks to rest his aged legs so he was able to prolong his effectiveness for his club,but his mind was obviously making appointments that his body couldn’t keep and now he has suffered for it because he’s picked up a serious looking injury which could even spell the end for him at OT should LVG now decide to buy another CMF’er in January,simple as that.
