carroll should be on

But he is crap! Just because he has hit the minimum standard in 3 of his last 5 games does not make him anything more than a £3m player again. I know it is good that LFC fans get behind their players but surely people can see how limited he is.

I do think our team is a little light today but a very hard working midfield. Arguably some of the Arsenal players are fairly light too, especially across the middle.

If Suarez has a good day we should grab a home win providing we can keep RVP quiet and Spearing stops Rosicky creating space.

we'll need to get forward and support suarez today, that line up looks like an away setup. It will be good to spring bellamy from the bench tho/

But if Carroll is improving with each performance and you agree he is finding form, why is he crap? More importantly, if you think he's crap now, what did you think of him earlier in the season? Surely a player deserves to be in the team on merit?

Cheers. I did receive an enquiry from muddled. I'm in Dubai

I can't take credit - he rejected my advances and is waiting for Arn to take him under his wing.

But welcome JonesyUAE.

He was good against a Brighton side who didn't close us down, he was awful against Cardiff though. While he has improved he is still way below the quality of a player we need and he is still very limited.

You've got a tennis match going on there later...

He has improved from utter sh*te to poor which is a good positive increase but anyone can see watching him how limited he is and lack of basic skills that even great players out of form still show. He needs to keep his big gob shut and get stuck in. I'm sick of watching him falling over and telling the ref to f**k off. I don't like him, don't rate him - never have, never will.

He is rubbish and I'm sticking with that. I am 100% confident you will all agree in a year or so when he leaves for a 1/7th of what we paid.

I would love to be proved wrong though!

I was right about Babel from day one, still think I'm right about GJ being rubbish and sticking to my guns

Torres was ****ing lethal when he played for us wasnt he.

Gerrard should be okay for next week according to Kenny
