Well he straight said he didn't want to be a bit-part player, which he was, since he was never going to get the central role over Gerrard and Lampard, which is ridiculous in my opinion, seeing as Gerrard and Lampard are the same type of player, while Carrick is the classy passer who sets the tempo. Carrick is ridiculously underrated in England. The same thing happened with Scholes, Hoddle, Le Tissier and others, because none fit the prototype of an English CM.

Yep. England trying to force Lampard and Gerrard on the field at the same time never made much sense. In that scenario, Gerrard always has to play in a more defensive role, because Lampard, honestly, just isn't good enough in that regard.

Would have made a lot more sense to pair Carrick and Gerrard.
