KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Carroll vs Kuyt

Suarez and Kuyt proved to be a dangerous attacking partnership at the end of last season and there is no doubt about this. Without being the most gifted player in the world Kuyt obviously works his socks off and has been one of our top performers for the last few seasons. One of the most under-rated players in the premier league and constantly one of our most consistent. Does the fact that we went and spent 35M on Andy Carroll mean that Kuyt should be shafted from the first team to accomodate Carroll now that he's injury free and if they both play, how would you accomodate the both of them?

I don't think Caroll will play every game as will depend who we are playing and our tactics. But we have options where before we only had Torres or ngog, now we have Suarez, Caroll, ngog and kuyt.

carroll wud surely be better....therz no reason why he will be a flop..he can score with his leg and head too..so whats the prob? he got 11 goals in first half in a team like newcaslte then just think what he`ll do with gerrard,suarez,henderson,kuyt around him....!!!

As our squad stands I would play Carroll, Suarez and Kuyt as a front three. But if I had to choose between Kuyt and Carroll I would choose Carroll. His bigger, stronger and defenders find him a nightmare when his fit and on form.

Dare i say it but kuyt was clearly better with suarez last season that carrol was but doesnt mean next season carrol and suarez cant gel, if there is a lot of passing and movement i think it will work, i think it was more of a case of players getting used to carrol last season than carool getting used to the players, carrols not a stupid player; I do however think it will be a challenge to dalglish to make it work , personally i think carrol should play further up field than he was last season (he was always seeming to run from deep when we got the ball- maybe he wasnt fit and wasnt up with the game. I cannot see how it will not work. Nobody is expecing them to form a dalglish rush partnership , but as i say if there is a lot of movement and passing it will work, if we cant get hold of the ball ( ie we need a ball winner in midfield) and we resort to a type of hoof ball game then it wont work

carroll is better than kuyt and when we can watch him properly everyone will realise that. carroll and suarez if used right could be taking PL defences apart for years to come.

we should pay carroll in brown ale - hell soon start banging them in

carroll will be a top player for us for the seasons to come and I can see Kuyt moving to the bench to strengthen our squad for games if we sign a right winger. If we don't sign a right winger then there is no reason to compare them because they will play completely different possessions and Kuyt will only play upfront in the absense of the main 2.

Just give Caroll a beer before every game. Problem solve. As for Kuyt, his positioning and follow up is good. Just know when to pounce. Whatever it is, Kenny will have the final say on who will be the front two. Aguero and Suarez for me.

Suarez Carroll Neymar for me
