The guy was a bad buy and that is it. Playing to his strengths mean we have been oofing the ball up field every time we get it. The mentality of the team changes as soon as he comes on.
It's OK to talk about the lack of quality delivery and that is a valid point, however I feel we could have Beckham playing at his best on the wing and Carroll's lack of any sort of positional savvy would make the delivery appear bad.
A great player will conjure something even if the team isn't playing to his strengths in a 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 ratio. The guy has been fielded countless times and has put away nothing. I've seen Suarez slot in some peaches and Carroll's been no where.
You can only make excuses for so long. I fear we are stuck with him and he'll fade into the background.
