I think Michael Carrick is almost struggling for answers at the moment.
I don't know if it's the angriest he's been, I think he's been quite forceful in his pre-match press conferences with the media lately, I have been on the wrong end of that. He does it in quite a calm way, not like Sir Alex Ferguson but I think he's trying to be on the front foot and today is just a really bad day.
