fucking hell, ive never seen a lad his size go down like a sack of shit under every challenge before!

However .. even when he was fouled (numerous times) the ref turned a blind eye. Don't get it, does he not get given FKs because he's a big MoFo or because he's a crap footballer ?

Cos he's big, same as Crouch, & Drogba TBH, even though he does play act also which takes away from the fact somewhat.
 
Well now that it's over can someone explain to me what it is that Andy Carroll is good at again.

Cause I'm fucked if I know. Drinking doesn't count.

Coaxing worms to the surface?
 
Don't think he'll ever come good to be honest.

He did some positive things tonight but his first touch is appalling, his awareness and link up play is very poor also.

What are these good things you speak of ?
 
I feel like strangeling people that still harp on about the transfer fee with my belt. Its been 12 months and its still 35 mill. Get over it. He hasnt been very good and we paid way to much. Not good enough, but I still like him. God knows why at this point.

Now, great win today!!!

I don't think many have mentioned the 35m tonight. Just that he's absolute muck

We were mental to pay £35m when he was half decent. You still think he's worth £35m? I can sort you a job on our transfer negotiation team if you're looking for work fella.

Held off and outmuscled the City defender when he went through on goal. Great save by Hart.
Good header from Kelly's cross.
Worked hard(well at times)

Not sticking up for him by the way, he's still nowhere near good enough for us.

Painful watching him at times. Don't think it'll happen, but we should probably cut out losses in this transfer window - for everyone's sake.
 
I honestly think if he'd have taken that chance it could have turned his season. But he didn't.

Posted before that i couldn't give a shit if he cost £35million or £3.5million, i'd still expect him to be capable of having basic football skills.
- First touch, control of the ball, ability to pass etc. He's struggled with all of them in a Liverpool shirt.

it wouldnt
 
Thought he showed willing & troubled defenders at times. He looked like he wanted to hold the ball up but couldn't, which worries me.

He also looked unfit, panting after that promising run that ended with him tripping over the ball.

I refuse to write him off, there's still a good player there somewhere.

Looking at it another way, if he actually does have a drinking problem, should we really just get shut? Is that truly the approach of a responsible employer? It's how gazza ended up destroyed, clubs ignoring his antics or moving him on when it became too much, instead of dealing with the issue.

i don't see why we should be paying his wages if he's up to this kind of thing. it's a sacking offence imo. any chance of ending his career on ill-health grounds and claiming the insurance?

if only.
 
If true then I assume he's in breach of his contract in some form. And as I care about Liverpool rather than individuals (to an extent), not my problem. Get rid.
 
There's no concrete evidence that Carroll has a drink problem though so it's a bit unfair to say we should sack him or whatever.

If he was drinking regularly, whether it be in Liverpool or back home in the Toon then surely he'd have been sussed out by now. Especially nowadays when Twitter and such like is all the rage. Only takes one person.

Errrr.......apart from pictures and accounts of him being a pisshead. If I was a supporter of Carroll I'd be hoping he DID have a drink problem or some other reason for being fucking shite rather than....well....being shite with no mitigating circumstances
