Due to not being picked more like
While that's true, Carrick was picking Crooks ahead of him for a spell who, when played as a striker is probably more like a bustling old school forward than anything else. So I think there was more to it than just the type of striker he was.The way we play under Carrick wasn’t how muniz thrives by the looks of it. Bustling old school forward.
We also had too many loads so one had to miss outWhile that's true, Carrick was picking Crooks ahead of him for a spell who, when played as a striker is probably more like a bustling old school forward than anything else. So I think there was more to it than just the type of striker he was.
Would be interested in Carrick's thoughts, but probably lots of reasons. Not quite ready at the time, language issues meant he was struggling to understand tactics? Maybe mentally wasn't quite right? (probably easier for a Brazilian to settle in London, big Brazilian community there etc). He was only 20 when he was here.
We would hopefully have persisted more if he was our player.
He played one game, Preston away, and was then dropped by Carrick.He missed a substantial portion of the second half of the season through a knee injury.
He still barely got picked by Carrick when he was fit, but it wasn't all down to that.
