KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The truth about Andy Carroll

His presence upfront takes a lot of pressure from defenders off suarez. I think that explains why we threaten a lot of more when suarez and carroll play together. Carroll takes the nuisance and distracts both CBs while suarez and stevie have the freedom to create havoc.

Sure carroll is not a 35m man. But if he's the reason why we start scoring again, I'll be happy to have him in the team every week.

I personally think Carroll has been playing well, he didn't ask for us to spend £35 million and as you say he holds up play well allowing Suarez room.

He also put the best crosses in of the game lol, shame he couldn't be on the end of them.

Bit hard to cross for yourself, eh? He's been good since Jan - really couldn't understand why he got dropped.

Carroll has been doing ok and befits his standard as a £15m value striker. A good but not great player and short of international standard I would say he is not a shoe in for the euro's. Andy Carroll is not to blame the dunderhead who paid £35m IS.

All I can say is that dunderhead got us to Wembley twice in one season despite signing and playing Carroll.

Because we needed room for Adam?

This is Liverpool FC in case you have forgot. Since when was that success for us ? Are we now a mid table side with the odd cup success ? Thanks for that Kenny sorry I am so thick for not understanding how great you are.

Don't you enjoy cup finals, Stanley?

No I am not happy today. Since 10am when I read the Sunday Times and choked on my cornflakes.

I don't think many people can seriously knock kenny if we win both cups. I think his transfer dealings can and should be criticised heavily so far.

Cup wins are great, but they aren't the most important thing.

With regards to Carroll, he has been playing okay. Worth a run in the team, but to be up there with the big boys we need a far far better striker.
