Just don't fancy Carroll tbh. He is just average. To blame the services from the team is just not right. He has himself to blame. Apart from his header and powerful shot, his movement is limited and his positioning is poor. I hope he really buck up and make his 35m transfer worth. I know its not his fault that Liverpool pay such amount but he should atleast have some responsility on his part. Suarez and Kuyt for me to lead the attack.

suarez and kuyt all the way. they link up and interchange so well. just a pity nando wasnt still around with this team.
for me, next season if we make top 4 this we should go out and get another fast and powerful striker. carrolls like a little boy at the moment. we cant say he gets no service with the likes of luis and downing buzzing round

Easy way out there. If you watch him, his movement and positioning is all wrong, there is service there that any striker who is meant to be the big man would love to get, he is failing himself at the moment, the team isn't failing him. On the bench for him hopefully, others have earned their spot ahead of them, hopefully kenny isnt scared by the price tag and pops Carroll where he deserves to be.
At last somebody who knows what he`s talking about. Top strikers would be all over the balls coming into the box, Carroll is 5 yards away holding his head. He obviously knows where he should be but at present he`s just not fast enough(mentally and physically) to get there

we aren't putting in the right balls at the right time, look at how hard he was to defend against when he played for newcastle and they were never a long ball team with him they just gave him the service he liked. i don't like big striker (i have said this many times before) mainly because i like striker that score goals all by themselves out of nothing, big strikers don't do that they need service, and with suarez, downing, adam, henderson, enrique, meireles and gerrard he will get the service. we need to be patient, he will score 20 goals in all comps this season.

I hope you are right house. on sat Henderson, enrique (twice), Downing (twice) put in great balls to be attacked and Carroll was miles away and basically way off the pace. it is a long season and I am sure he will have his good moments but so far 'could do better' fits his half term report.

He's on the bench for one game and suddenly all the vultures waiting in the wings take that as their opportunity to rip into Carroll. There's no doubt about 2 things. 1) He will get the service from the likes of Downing, Adam, Henderson, Gerrard, Enrique, and 2) When he gets that service he will deliver goals. He has got a lot of work to do on improving himself, but tbh, I don't really want to have players who don't have room for improvement. Have a bit of faith.

Once we make the CL next year we should be buying the young stars like Mario Gotze and Eden Hazard. These two young and attacking players will take us to the next level. Carroll will be plan B which is okay by me but until then he needs our support. Still too early to judge him but if he shows us his character m a good attitude by working hard I'll keep him in the squad

and i`ll remind you guys as soon as we signed him kenny said he is not here for a season or two he is here for five years...! so who knows may be after a year or two he might turn out to be world class, if he isnt one now....!

OMG! That must have been one of the shortest half terms in history! 3 games played only!
