Andy Carroll

[Bender]

end of the day he just needs to and wants to play football....the more he does that the better he gets.....we know he has the potential

I don't think we do know it, but we hope so.

Finally saw the FA cup semi highlights. Carroll has not got a bad touch, he's certainly not a Heskey. A split second slow with the second touch when his long legs catch up with his brain, but he usually has his bulk to shield the ball by then. His lay offs are usually at the right pace and placement.

If he keeps picking up confidence he could easily become our very own Mario Gomez.

Some of his layoffs have been brilliant, and not just a pass backwards, I spotted him make a great first time outside of the boot layoff into the path of a player on the right wing (Gerrard?). That's the kind of play that will get us wins. I think when we see a fully confident Carroll, we'll have a seriously beast of a player.

From the Beeb

Liverpool have not lost any of the last 10 matches that Andy Carroll has started - winning eight of them - and have not won the past eight without him in the side (D3, L5).

True! Not the first time the bbc preview has been wrong.

They're quite often wrong

A bit frustrating today. As with everyone needs to convert some of his chances. Seems to like dropping deep on occasion, when he really needs to be in the thick of it, seemed to be getting outmuscled on a few crosses, and needs to try and find space a bit better by making better runs. Hold up play was decent though and he looks like he has a bit of a swagger tho, needs even more goals to justify it.

It's a bit hit and miss these tactics we're seeing this season. It's all very well hitting the final third for >60% of the game, but if there's no space or confusion in their back line, you may as well play against a wall.

I just don't think Andy has played in a well thought out LFC formation.
