    Only a brief cameo, but what were everyone's first impressions?

    I thought he looked really good. Won everything in the air, great chest down to Kuyt. Good movement at times too I thought.

    He's so good in the air the United defence quickly gave up competing and challenged for his knock-downs instead. Absolute beast!

      He looks like he'll be a real ****ing handful for opponents going forwards, Suarez, Raul, Kuyt, Gerrard and Maxi will hopefully pick up quite a few chances from him

        Tough to say. Only played few minutes but had few decent touches. Definitely not match fit and will take some time for him to get used to his new teammates.

          First touch was a header on target. He also looked handy as a defensive player from set pieces, a la Drogba. I liked his lay off for the Kuyt volley. He is going to be a big player for us, not just in height!

            We know what he's all about. Big, strong bloke who is a defenders nightmare. Him and Suarez really do have the potential to form an awesome partnership. Both work very hard for the team. One is about guile, the other power. Also loving the fact that he's left footed. Always helps.

            However, to really get the best out of Carroll, we really need to bring in a top class winger in the summer. If we bring in someone who can consistantly beat his man and delivery quality balls into the box, Carroll will score. Simple as that.

            Great to see him given a run out. Be good to get him acclimatised with the rest of the team so that we can really hit the ground running next season.

              I'm pretty sure that is going to happen. It wouldn't make any sense to shell out so much money on him and them fail to provide him with the right support.

                Makes sense, doesn't it? I think it's a bit of an open secret that we'll be in for Ashley Young. Would be nice to see a couple of wingers brought in though.

                Charlie Adam's set pieces would also compliment Carroll very well. 2 british players, who should be available.

                  Looked a bit rusty to me today, some heavy touches. Loved that header though. Him and Suarez are gonna be a fearsome pair.

                    I don't think we saw enough of him today to make any judgements it's a difficult game to come into particularly after injury, but it was good to see him get some game time, I suspect he might be eased in slowly so may still be on the bench for the next game but maybe get half an hour or so.
                    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                      He's not played in over 2 months so he'll need to be eased back. Looked a bit heavy legged too. We're going to need some quality coming in from out wide though to get the best out of him.

                      Him and Suarez have the potential to be very special.

                        Thought he was a bit nervous, but that's to be expected.

                        After he gets his match fitness up in the next few weeks and gets settled into the team i'm sure we'll see Carroll produce the performances.

                        He'll be like a new signing.
