The saves that he made today he has probably made three top saves, Carrick said.We have hit the post twice and had a load of opportunities. Of course we are not happy about not winning the game but there are things to take from it for sure.Football is a difficult game. We controlled a lot of the first half. Its the Premier League and you will have spells where you dont have it all your own way.To expect total dominance for the whole game, I dont think anyone gets that in this league.Carrick sees positives despite dropped pointsDespite Uniteds failure to claim all three points, Carrick was pleased with the energy shown by his players and believes there are plenty of positives to take from the performance.Yes, Carrick said when asked if he was happy with the teams energy.I think we can take a lot from today. I think we can learn a lot as well.We can be better at certain things, that is pretty clear, but there were some good signs today. Topics Manchester United F.C.
