I disagree. Parker works harder off the ball and Carrick would just clash with Gerrard in terms of their role in midfield. Whilst Carrick is better at volume passing which aids possession, he's nowhere near Gerrard in terms of affecting goals (key passes/chance creation; assists; and goals). Whereas Parker is happy to just do the dog's work and to provide an easy outlet.Put Carrick in for Parker and you'll have 3 players capable of creating with very little loss in work rate and more intelligence.
