carrol(l)

looking at his general play yesterday, i couldn't help feeling frustrated, angry, sorry and sometimes jovial at him, the times downing put a cross in and all he did was foul the defender, play the ball into the area and he's standing on the edge of the thing absolutley no anticipation whatsoever and then theres the suarez chance where he gets to the by line the keeper makes the save and carrols standing motionless 15 yards away.
if we wanrt to progress and fight for the league then carrol has to either go or buck up ten fold, aguero, ballotelli, dzeko, hernandez berbatov, rooney, bent rvp, these guys are centre forwards who know how to play, carrol sadly is on the outside looking in

That Suarez chance was weird. He was hanging about on the edge of the area like he was expecting the ball to go out. Kuyt would have followed that in, for sure.

They put a lot of men behind the ball and before Bellers came on Carroll just spent a lot of time getting heavily marked. He did drag defenders away for Skrtels goal though.

Championship teams are used to playing against lump strikers. We should have started with Kuyt.

PS Totally forgot about the Miller challenge. Hands up. He did what needed to be done there.

Carroll did work hard but he isn't on Luis' wavelength. There were quite a few passes where Carroll went one way and Luis passed it the other. The more they play together the better that will get.

What Luis has to remember is that Carroll is left footed, so would prefer the ball in the alternate position.

Carroll always seems reluctant to make runs towards the near post. You rarely see him making a movement to get in-front of his marker.

This is very basic stuff and it worries me that a lot of the time he appears on his heals when the ball is delivered into the box. His movement and positioning are area's he desperately needs to improve

He did win the header which subsequently created Skrtels goal people!!

Aside frm that yes agree he is always ball watching.

However thought his general play was much improved again yesterday...He is improving. Somewhat slowly though.
