    The thing is, Newcastle developed their whole game and tactics around him..

    I don't think we can afford to do that with the type of players we have..

    He can draw players out and take them away
    but can he be a prolific finisher?

    Great header of the ball but he needs a decent cross and other teams will get on to that and defend easily against him..

      not sure about that tbh. They were more direct, and that suites Carroll I agree

        Carroll had a mare, and Downing is a pussy/cat & far worse on the right than on left.

          He's not good enough to do what's needed of him in our build up play. I mean he lacks the technical ability to do that. He's working hard though. But based on his strengths which are one dimensional imo, he doesn't deserve to start. But Kenny knows best.
          Are we winning?

            He was their main tactic though - and they still do much the same with Ba

              He is worse on the right, but I thought he has played a lot worse than he did tonight

                I don't get Downing on the right, Messi is pretty much only one that it really works for, and well let;s not even try and compare the two.

                IMO as i've said previously, left or right Downing is not the answer, another stop gap winger IMO. People can lambast for writing player off but i just don't see it with him, never did even before he joined lfc.

                  They wouldn't be back in the prem without Carroll in that Champ side and that was to do with how they set up tactically with him.

                    When I said similair, I was reliably informed by a few Villa watching LFC fans that Downing played best on the right for them last season...

                      Downing contributes as much from the right side as he does from the left - **** all.

                        heard same myself. Judging him purely on his time at LFC, we need better IMO

                        For me at moment if we aren't going to invest in a new winger, Downing should be used from the bench. Maxi gives us so much more in comparison to Downing

                          Can't see any improvement with Downing on the right than what Pennant offered.

                            couldn't agree more, can't keep excusing the lad.

                            IMO sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade, and say Stuart Downing has been shocking for LFC. I hope he improves but he has had a mare, there's no sugar coating it.

                              He does contribute. He doesn't just sit there and watch the play doesn't he?
                              Are we winning?

                                Pennant never a favorite of mine, but he has a lovely delivery IMO. Best thing about his game for me, that and his polishing off of bottles of Jack Daniels
