Also glad he scored with his head today his last was against City a year ago so that may give him more confidence at set pieces.

A weird fact in his career he's scored more goals with his right unfavored foot than his left if im correct.


Upcoming world class players IMO for 2014 WORLD CUP:

I hear everyone saying that andy should start because of the goal if he starts maxi should too he as performed every match he as played in. I wont try to downplay andy's goal and contribution but he still isnt at that level to be the clubs first striker, he lacks alot of things still and as someone mention would love to see him coming in off the bench, but saying that he as arrive and that hes great after one goal is over doing it. consistence is what should grant him the praise.

3 things needed to get the best out of Carroll:

1-better movement coordination with other players
2-players with pace around him that can run into space.
3-better and faster crosses

last night we witnessed #1 and that alone made a big improvement. if we get #2&3 Carroll will be the force he should be.

Not wanting to P1ss in Craney's chips but, While Andy did score the winner, he still spends to much time complaning at the ref and his teamamtes while there is still chance of a move on. Play to the whistle is what I was always coached and I tell my kids. But on the whole a decent performance.

One other thing Aswell, We had a couple of breakaway chances, where was our striker?

In the words of the man mountain himself, "ABOUT TIME!"

The boo boys would have had you believe months ago, the man is just a donkey.

When you look at it clearly and fairly, he has put these performances in mostly every time he has played, he just hasn't got the goals! It's ultimately the goals that get the plaudits and as much as he can do, it counts for nothing to most people, if he doesn't get the goals.

The lad was on his own upfront tonight, he had no runners and barely any options when we went a man down. Shelvey had to play further back, which meant less support for Carroll.

Even if we'd have lost or drawn this game, I would have been full of praise for Carroll, he done his best tonight and capped it of with a winning goal! The team gave it there all tonight, being down to 10 men for most of the game!

Other notable mentions are for Henderson! He was brilliant covering at right-back tonight and got forward every time he could. Skrtel was a brilliant captain as well. Led by example.

Hopefully this will continue for Carroll now, but HE MUST GET A RUN OF GAMES, COME ON KENNY!

Before the game, I was shitting myself going into the Everton game......I have some hope now! laugh

Enjoy it ladies!........a win has been long awaited (even though it was against Blackburn)

Right, now, lets discuss this donkey! wink


In my opinion this is a massive over reaction to a decent performance capped with a good goal.

He did well in a difficult game for him. But nothing special, certainly nothing I saw warrants you thinking he's been the dogs bollox for months :S Henderson too, deserves credit for being in an unfamiliar position and working hard, but certainly didn't play that well in my opinion.

Skrtel was a very impressive captain. Between him and reina to take the arm band from gerrard? Also agger deserves a shout, he had real impetus going forward, and has come on and got an assist in the last 2 games. Wish he didn't get injured so much.

I thought Johnson looked so comfortable on the ball and was taking it around people for fun at times, just a shame he wasn't playing with his head up.

Lastly, I'm very excited by Shelvy as a prospect. I think he's 19? Yet looks quite composed and seems to have a fair bit about him.

I think Shelvey looked the part last night.

Also great to see Agger back.

I really like the look of Shelvey, he has a bit of bite about him which you need in the middle and he passes the ball round really well.

As for Carroll, I thought he deserved his goal but that's what he is paid to do. Let's get behind him and the team for this weekend!

Absolutely. I definitely think Carroll showed enough to play again on Saturday with suarez. I hope we do go with 2 up front, I fear we won't, but if Carroll can put a similar shift in it definitely opens up space for other players to exploit, and maybe Gerrard et al can make better use of his lay offs and flick ons.
