Am not sure if Hendersen will be on the bench when Stevie comes back. As far as I know, he has to earn his place back and if jordan is playing very well for us and scoring goals I don't think Kenny is that stupid to drop him.
As for Carroll, I don't think he is rubbish, he needs time to adapt to liverpools style of play. I have been very disappointed with the service to him and he is a man that needs service, he is not suarez who can create his own goals. I have to agree with you tho, I've also said this before, Suarez and Kuyt play with such good understanding they deserve to start everygame. I have no problems with Carroll being on the bench. Err.. I thought he has been getting great servicwe downing, enrique and Henderson put a lovely cross in against Bolton second half which Carroll fluffed. Too early to get on his back but we need to start seeing something from him soon.

i suppose its handy to have another option. just think this issue of the price is going to come back round again. 3 goals for 35 millio is not good enough no matter how injured he has been etc. Dzeko looked a donkey last season and after a tough pre season is reaping the rewards.
just hope andy gets in scoring positions cause we have some good craftsmen now.

Look we got slated for him, yes. But that was because of when we tried to get him (the end of the transferwindow). Was 35 million too much? Sure. That doesn't mean he isn't valuable. Does he have talent? Yes. He scored a lot of goals for Newcastle last year and two against Man City for us. Even Fergie admitted that he is one of the best headers in the game. He will score goals (would already have one if the ref for Sunderland wasn't such a [oops]).
In regards to him being an impact sub, I think it would be good to use him when the situation requires it. He would be good against teams with a smaller back four or teams that park the bus, and if we find ourselves in a tie towards the end of a match he could change the approach to a more arial attack that could break ties. He's not going back to the toon anytime soon.

if someone can't see what carroll brings to our team/squad then they have problems tbh. atm the main problem is the team around him, they try and hit him far too early. the midfield needs to be calmer and keep the ball and then hit carroll when the times right, when they get the timing of the cross/pass right he will be a beast and he will score lots of goals for lfc. 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.

I think the fact that Kenny put him on the bench was a clear message to him. Not that Kenny has lost faith just... sort yourself out son.

i remember city signing dzecko and the thread on here slagging dzecko off.
the way i see it is that had it been utd arsenal or chelski who signed carroll for that and he had been performing like he is so far then we would be sitting here laughing about it.
I am quite worried as we will lose a large ammount of money if we decide to get rid. the fact that after all the world class strikers we have had over the years that he is our record signing is a joke.

Anyone with half a brain can see Carroll is struggling at the moment he looks a bit lost . But what he needs is support and not bellend fans jizzing their pants and telling us all that he is poo and we shouldnt of signed him .
