"amusingly" up until the 92nd minute, Carroll's header back to Brad Jones was the closest he'd come to a goal for quite a while!
I'm sure it was amusing to you as you wanted us to lose.... but in your mad rush to criticise our manager and players you obviously missed our second goal. Carroll almost scored, which forced the rebound for Maxi. Try watching before bashing in future if you can.
It was also good play from Carroll in our box controlling a dangerous ball, keeping it under pressure, and playing a simple ball to Skrtel who had the vision (and importantly the time created by Carroll) to pick out Bellamy for the first goal. He could have done a lot of things wrong there, but he didn't. I'm not going to give him credit for the goal, but he did the right things at the right time.
So for me he played a significant part in all 3 goals, and had a chance to score a 4th. And don't forget that we played with 10 men for 70-odd minutes, which either left him isolated up front or back in our box defending aerial balls. What more are you supposed to want from a player? That he score a hattrick every game? That his every touch is perfect and he wins every 50-50 challenge? Even Messi doesn't do that.
He had a good game - people here could ease up on him for a bit.
