[/quote] carroll had a decent game and if we had wingers that would give him good service he will score. you cant expect him to score if you dont give the big man service. hustler clearly you havent got a clue. have you ever played the game? [/quote]

I agree. Of course we could have started with Bellamy who simply cannot play twice in a week at this level for 90 mins at full tilt. Or we could have used Kuyt who would not have stayed as central and that would have allowed their CB's to stride forward with the ball. By doing his job today he prevented their CB's coming up the middle and channelled the play down the throats of our full backs who had double coverage.

The one time he found space and got in front and across his marker in the first half Gerrard wenyt on a run and blasted it over instead of clipping it across to him. He was also instrumental in getting right under De Gea for the first goal who pushed him out of the way to get to the ball. Whilst that was going on Agger put it in the net. Good forward play today from the big guy. Not the chances and goals people want but effective and we won.

Gizus a snog you, wiv tungs even if you want.I'm that 'appy I don't care!

I had great sympathy for Carroll today. He was horribly isolated in the first half and for much of the second. Coupled with woeful to non-existent service, he was on a hiding to nothing.

Downing on the right does not work. Just consider how effective he was both today and last Wednesday when played on the left.

We looked better with 4-4-2. The first half was embarrassing, the amount of time and room we gave them. As soon as Bellers came one and moved around, dragging defenders with him & creating more space for others, we looked so much better.

And I think we're a much better team with Kelly at RB instead of Johnson.

yes, but you are obviously talking about Hockey or Cricket.
The game of football I know, the striker drops deep and chases balls, not sit up front like a Donkey, waiting for a cross. he was poor.

both downing and hendo we're greatly improved today and coming along nicely.

Football sounds like such a simple game but it ain't. If Carrol was the best striker in the world to hold up the ball and make the most of crosses, would he fit in the Barcalona team?

No.

Its a team game. Certain players work well with certain, formations, styles and players.

I recon Kenny will eventually get him firing.

It would be so good if Livepool beat united tomorrow, just imagine if we win 2-1 with Kuyt scoring a late goal, now that would be a dream

Deja Vu?

+1

thought it was Hendo, Carroll and Downing's best games for a while!!

Even Adam looked good when he came on. Suprisingly Enrique was the villian in that game. Valencia ran wild on him all day.
