carroll will come good. you play to win against the team in front of you. the season is long. right now suarez and kuyt look good together. but good managers with good teams will figure this out. carroll gives us options. it will take him time though. suarez has settled in really quickly and that's great for us.
carroll can score with his feet too. if we just keep aiming ball at the his head or continually look at downing whip in crosses, there are plenty of defenders in the prem that can cope with headed clearances week in, week out (carra for examaple, cahill, vidic, terry, samba, dunne). carroll has been and will be more than a one trick pony.
stick with the boy. there's people in here writing him off and calling themselves fans. stop acting like some spoiled city or chelsea fan who's success has been purchased with bag loads of 30mill players (and if they don't work out, they go get some more). it's not the lfc way. the culture of our club is what makes us different. i like to think we give people a chance to learn the lfc way of playing, to prove themselves over a season and then judge them only after that. so before shooting the lad down, think about the amount of times you sang 'at the end of the storm is a golden sky' and try keep some faith in structures that led us to signing him...the club, it's history, the manager. if he hasn't done anything by the end of this season well then talk about him moving on or going to newcastle or whatever.
like many of you, i've been supporting lfc all my life and i'm thankful to the club for teaching me what 'support' actually means. if you're already prediciting his demise, i have inherited a very different concept of it's meaning to you
