Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[Vermilion]

I'm going to watch the whole game this afternoon as things didn't go to plan last night.

Was he really as good as people are saying? Seems to be an awful lot of revisionism for him to stay based on the game.

What should I look out for?

He wasnt Lionel Messi or anything but he worked hard showed a decent bit of hold up play at times and some decent touches

Some of the criticism of him is extremely harsh

Sometimes you have to give credit to players even if you dont like them

You should see a doctor about that

I've said numerous times Suarez is a good player

****ing horrendous finisher though

That said its been a while since hes played well, hes off form recently imo (barring the Everton game)

I think we all want him to do well because he's our No9 but I feel so frustrated with him as it seems sometimes like he doesn't put enough of a shift in. And also the fact that he moans at everyone else as well.

Let's hope tonight is the night where he comes of age and becomes our No9 that we hoped he would have been from the outset.

and on some ****e chelsea forum i expect they are saying and hoping the same too about there no.9......

Right, I'll keep an eye out for them and anything more that might crop up.

He didn't have a bad hit rate at Ajax. He needs to score more.
