KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Carroll - I feel sorry for him

Downing has been a real dissapointment and I thought Jose's crossing ability was better than that.
In the city game today, our best passes of the ball (with a focus on over 10 yard passes) was Jay! that is saying alot!

correct mate !!!

i think KD choose the wrong team n tactics against city.

i for one blame KD/Comolli for making carroll look like a average player/striker, who is looking like a £35 player, in stead of a £35 mill one.

its like wat rafa said years ago, wen he waz at valencia ie he asked the board for a sofa and they got him a coffee table, some thing to that effect.

i wud luv to ask KD why the [oops] did he sign carroll for?, wen KD tactics, formation, and certain players can not play to carrolls ability.

its like fcuking ordering a KFC buckett and making a chicken sandwich out of it and then saying that was crap.

i do feel sorry for him because his not being helped out by his team mate with their lack of service.

KD is really starting to [oops] me off with his team selections.

if KD n comolli do not sign any quality players this month to improve the starting 11,then they can kiss fcuking goodbye to a top for finish, a CL place next season and 100m wasted,

my starting 11, from the squad will be....
.............reina
glen...skrtel....agger....jose
sg.....spearing..adam...downing
......carroll...bellamy

WOW your finally maturing and making some sense. i would go with that team.

look carroll can do two things. head the ball down for another player or head a cross that has been whipped in at goal. in fairness to the guy, he cant do anything else. its not his fault and i do feel a bit sorry for him. he's simply not that good and the only thing he CAN do, we cant provide for him. there is no chemistry between him and the rest of the team. that's just how it goes. these things can work out sometimes, and other times they don't. he's just at a club that's above his weight and to make it worse is not getting the service he needs.

downing actually played well tonight, i was surprised considering a lot of the team under performed, but he should some commitment and grit. as did spearing bellers stevie and even carroll the odd time.

flames, a couple of players are not good enuff for the starting 11 and even having two average players in the starting 11, already puts you on the back foot, b4 a ball has been kicked.

in this league and especially against the top teams, you will be found out and just maybe u can get away with carrying one average, poor player in the starting 11, but not 2 or more, cuzz the top teams will hurt you ie we got spanked 3 nil.

score does not lie, we all can sugar coat it any way we like ie downing shud of scored, we cud of gone on to win the game, that was never a pen, reina shud of saved aguero shot, all too many if's, do's n buts most of the time.

fully agree menace, im not arguing that at all. i suppose my point is that where as the blame has lay at carroll's feet for a while now, perhaps he is not fully to blame, but youre right. we're probably punching above our weight at the moment. its the CL paradox isnt it. you need class players to make it into the CL, but you cant get them unless you are in the CL.
