KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum A Great Partnership : Suarez & Carroll

Carrol should have had two....one goal line clearance and the second hitting the back of Lucas' head as it travelled towards the goal...the keeper wasn't going to get near it!

Suarez looks as good as anyone of the same position in the game. Carroll, appears he can certainly head a ball and early days so unfair to criticize much, but I noticed a fair few long balls punted up to him (a change in how we have played of late) which I didn't like.

Furthermore, not watching his half-season with Newcastle in the EPL I am a little surprised that he doesn't appear quicker. There didn't appear to be that 100 m runners burst of pace from standing which is very disappointing.

It may just be that Kenny told him to hold it back a little for the next few games but the price tag still looks ridiculous from early impressions. We'll see.

He is coming back from a rather lengthy lay off with a quad tear so he needs to get that power back in legs before the quick burst of pace will come back.

Always thought the price tag was a bit high but I still think he will repay us. The way he attacked that header that was cleared off the line was immense and he seemed to find the space easily and hit it with perfect timing too....He has so much more to offer than just his heading ability from set peices too.

The price tag is always going to be ridicilous top4 even before he played with us and was banging in them regularly for newcastle however thats done and dusted and we shouldn't worry about it. I believe in the long run he will fully pay us back that amount with goals a plenty. The game seemed like a volleyball contest as no team seemed to want the ball for the first half. Second half much better link up play from all our attackers. There wasn't much link up play between the front 2 but am not going to stress about that in the first game. One hell of a goal from Suarez( I just hope he is not out for a bit).

Did no one else notice 4 cards (one a straight red) for professional fouls against these two when through on goal? When last did we show such penetration through a defensive line? Carroll is much quicker than I expected tbh, considering he's not fully fit and coming back off a thigh injury. I wasn't impressed by the amount of long ball stuff early in the game, and Suarez was becoming frustrated that no one was picking him out with simple passes. We were much improved in the second half when we kept control of the ball a bit more, and the forwards looked far more threatening then. No real cohesion yet, unsurprisingly, but that will come with time.

if andy carroll is part of PL winning team than he will have been worth every penny. this price tag stuff is annoying now, he is here lets just let him play i thought he was much better against sunderland than he was against braga he isn't anything like fully fit the lad did 90 mins on thursday and 70 mins on sunday without even the slightest moan when torres ever had a little bo-bo he'd be sulking everywhere and just waiting for the ball carroll did none of that put the team first and was very unlucky not to score carroll isnt my favourite player but he seems like the type of person we need in the team tbh

great partnership
all we need now is wingers with the same hunger as suarez, track back, attack.
when we attack we need players which use their brain pick out the right pass wich sets the other player free.

carroll to score before torres

Why were all those dopy Sunderland fans chanting 'what a waste of money' for?

Next season, we ARE going to be very strong contenders for the PL title. Mark my werds.
