He's starting to look the part and was absolutely bossing the spurs backline. Top link-up play. Won almost everything in the air. Didn't really put a wrong foot in all night. The only problem was us not taking advantage of it. If suarez had started with carroll, I think one of the flick-ons might have resulted in a goal via suarez. And with better service, he would probably have planted a header past friedel.
I don't remember him bossing the Spurs back four, if anything it was 50/50 on the headers won between him and Dawson.
Until he starts doing what a striker should be doing and scoring then it will not be Andy the man Carroll, we should have won last night against a Spurs team that parked the bus unfortunately our strikers are still missing the target more than they should be.
For all the possession in the second half we had one maybe two clear chances, and the best chance of the night fell to Bale
Carroll is looking slightly better but where are the goals?? He's beginning to look like a £3.5m man but still nowhere near a £35m man. £35m should buy skill, goals, consistency and creativity, not a 'big lump' - you can pick up that kind of player anywhere for peanuts.
I feel so weary with the same old conversations and observations now, as nothing seems to really change apart from the odd 'blip' Think I'll take up knitting as a new pastime. Can't be anymore stressfull than this every week, surely?
