Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[Muddled]

Henderson was better than Downing and was playing out of position!

Anything positive to say after winning 6-1 and moving in to the quarter finals of the FA Cup, a week before the League Cuo final?

[Mostar]

he really wasn't. it was another nothing performance by henderson.

Henderson was the player that impressed the least today

[Roger]

Henderson what a player that impressed the least today

agree. it's not like we don't have any other options either: shelvey can play there, so can stevie, so can maxi, so can bellamy.

it's baffling why persists with henderson wide right when he's clearly not delivering - long before today as well.

Problem is, he will only get better the more he plays, worked with lucas

Really happy for him today that was a good peformance, looks much much fitter and worked hard.

Had a few decent chances, looked strong in the headed chances he had but he needs to be more aggresive especially against pricks like that bold cunt who was grabbing him today.

Be more aggressive, out muscle your opponent and keep your mouth shut instead of going at the ref all the time regardless of how pissed off you are. If the ref will give it he'll give it, he doesn't need a player mouthing off at him all the time.

Great finish for his goal and really well taken, nice header back across the face for Suarez too.

Well done big man.

yeah, he could do without mouthing off at the ref every 5 minutes. bit surprised the management, stevie, carra etc haven't ordered him to reign it in.

Perhaps but not in the position that Kenny is constantly asking him to play.

I really don't think Hendo has the future on the right.

His ball delivery is poor, he cannot take his man, he's zonal marking doesn't help our fullback etc.

I think he should be used less often (more Cameo type of appearances) this season and when he gets his chance imo he should be in CM role as that suits him better.

Disagree with this. Refs are susceptible to being influenced by this and if you badger at them long enough, eventually they'll give you a decision. Others do it and benefit from it, there's no need for us to play the Mr Nice Guy routine.

spot on. agree with everything there.

That's the very same point I made in the past.

He easily gets off balance in the box and his physical predispositions should be his greatest strength.

I want to see more of Andy doing like he did in our third goal when he moved really well and opened a space for himself and I want to see him run and attack the 6-yard box as the balls will eventually find him like Stevie and Adam has done it few times today.

Fair enough mate.

My opinion is that the ref will notice it eventually, if you keep badgering on he's only going to pay less and less attention to your whingeing.

Carroll gets the same treatment by defenders everytime he plays, he needs to get used to it.

He's a big strapping lad he's strong enough to give it back he proved that tonight at times. Just stick to your game, ingore all the bolloks that's surrounding you and you will deliver the goods.

His general fitness and all round game was better tonight. I feel his improved fitness is helping with his all round game.

When you feel physically fitter you constantly want to move and he did that well tonight. He tracked back well too and was actively seeking the ball.

Carroll's looking better and better but needs to stop feeling the victim of bad challenges and start to be more aggressive. Once defenders realise that they might come off worse then they'll think twice before pulling him about

He's been arriving in the box too early, that or the ball's been arriving too slowly. He profited from a faster passage of play today which enabled him to run and attack the ball rather than standing waiting for it and being bullied by a marker. He still looked frustrated at set pieces for that reason

[Muddled]

And for those who think his game is all about his aerial prowess, his technique for his goal is faultless.

It's been a while now since he's played badly. Fair play to him for turning it around. Whatever you're doing differently Andy - keep doing it!!
