Spot onOriginally posted by Craig_H View PostActually thought he was better than usual today. Not saying much, but by the very low standard he's set, he wasnt bad. Got involved a bit and put in a couple of good crosses which Carroll SHOULD have taken advantage off.
Shame Kenny decided to remove the ammo when he brought out the gun.

That was my point. Bringing on Carroll was fine, taking off the person who was actually putting in the kind of crosses that Carroll SHOULD benefit from, was silly.Originally posted by Norbert Dentressangle View PostCarroll REPLACED Downing...
Hence my comment, 'Kenny removed the ammo before bringing out the gun'.Comment

when we signes this lad I never thought even for one second that he wouldnt deliver. people who are very savvy said that he.didnt have the right mentality to succeed at a club like liverpool but its something that just passed by.
unfortunately, the silent whispers look spot on. after 25 + games and only one goal and zero assists you have to say that downing has been an unmitigated disaster. to think we spent close to 55m on carroll and downing and theyve delivered virtually nothing says a few things.
firstly we need to evaluate signings more carefully. at a club like liverpool mentality is perhaps even more important that talent and someone like lucas is a case in point. he was booed constantly but the lad believed in himself and became one of our leaders.
I dont think stewart has that sort of leadership quality or mentality. carrolls case is different because for me he doesnt have the physical, tactical and technical tools to be a top grade footballer. hes currently playing a level above his capability and its showing.
secondly we need to take a closer look at the people making the signings. suarez, bellamy and enrique have been unqualified successes, adam and henderson have both been reasonable but downing and carroll have been shocking.
carroll was a panic buy and one thats going to be a heavy weight on the shoulders of damien and kenny.[B]Sir Isaac Newton knew the universal law of karma - any action has its equal and opposite reaction.[B]Comment

Re: Stew
He beat his man twice today but still would benefit from being fed a ball he could run on to. I'd love to see him in front of a more conservative left back as it seems to be confusing him seeing Enrique marauding forward. I realize he played most of the game on the right todayComment

Shame Kenny decided to remove the ammo when he brought out the gun. especially the last line.

Not sure it's even mentality. I just dont think he's very good. He doesnt have the talent or the level of quality needed.Comment

If we're better than Villa '11 then surely he should've slotted in ok. His lack of form is really bemusingOriginally posted by Craig_H View PostComment
