lol, i'm honestly new here, but i'm interested to know who you thought i was.
anyway, my point was their is quality in the players, specially Henderson, Downing and Carroll (this is as good as the team will get from Adam IMOO). but we have to play a specific way to get the best out of them becaus they are not that versatile.
in some detail:
-Downing is a smart player on the wing, but not the best at the dribble or pace, so he needs constant supporting runs from Enrique, and a 3rd midfielder to cover for them.
- at this point in time Henderson can only play at CM
-Carroll will only be at his best as the final man at attack, he also needs to just stay in and around the box, for this to work the team must be better at MF and giving better pass and crosses constantly. he is a hammer that needs to hit constantly, not a reaper that kills with a move like Hernandez
Not sure about that to be honest. From what I've seen, his dribbling and pace are his biggest strengths - it's his final ball that is disappointing 9 times out of 10. Whether or not he played better for his old club is unknown - there can;t be many people on here that had such boring lives that they watched Villa or Boro on regular basis!
