As if he’d know who Andy Carroll is anyway

Speaking of Wor Horse, I was watching Sky Sports on Wednesday night when they were covering the CL and Championship Games and Carroll was hilarious for Reading.

 

In 5 minutes in the second half he managed to give them the lead with a cracking header, then it looked like he'd put them 2 up in the same way. However an eagle eyed lino spotted he'd handballed it in.

 

Cue disallowed goal, second yellow card, red card. Luton then equalised putting Reading back in the bottom 3!

 

Well into his 30's and he's still that fucking stupid!

Listen to the  podcast and how that’s the only bit of English he understands!

He was having murder with a fan in the crowd last week and all. Still playing while pissed as a fart and I love him for it.

Unpopular opinion is that I like Andy Carroll, always have. His knee fucked up what little there was to his game outside of aerial ability, and we grossly overpaid for him. But he had more talent than people give him credit for. 

 

Also helps whenever I see him I think of him sweeping that goal in against city.

We've had far worse before and since.

 

Well, maybe not *far* worse...

[Jairzinho]

[Lee909]

He's a square peg in a round hole

He will be a good player somewhere but I don't see it here unless we change how we play. He's the 5th forward and not really good enough considering his price. 

 

He will be here next year though so I'd be putting him into the Europa League team to start every game with the likes of Carvalho,Tsimikas,Elliot,Bajectic,Doak  and Ramsey

[Freddo]

He seems to look lost to me. When he comes on we look very disjointed. Language barrier not helping. He’s certainly not a left sided player but he’s shown glimpses so let’s hope he can take this season of learning and kick on next season.

[Jennings]

He has passion, so I'm still interested in what Jurgen can make of him.

And he's only 5th forward at the moment due to Firmino's injury.

 

The Klopp/Thiago/Nunez substitution thing was fucking weird as well.

 

[ZonkoVille77]

He'll be sold at a big loss. Another Benteke, Carroll signing.

Not a good as either.

A Benteke level loss would be palatable and probably something that might be considered. 

 

I like him and think he will be useful in a rebuilt side. Some are hung up on the fee thinking he has to be in the starting 11 just based on that. It is sunk money at this point. Move on, far bigger worries in the side.

[LFC 6 Times]

It’s not going to work out here. He’ll be great for somebody but stylistically it’s not a match.

[3 Stacks]

I'm not gonna say it's over for him here but Jesus, he looks awful right now.

[Bjornebye]

Fucking muppets. He's going to be absolute dynamite for us. Nunez Nunez Nunez 

[Section_31]

I like Nunez, but I'm starting to think Klopp doesn't. Whether it's an ability thing or something else I don't know.

It's not that because of his price he should be playing, it's that you should be seeing signs of his performances forcing the need for him to play, especially given the head start this season because of injuries to others.

 

Instead he seems to be slipping further and further down the pecking order at both left wing and striker to the point where we're going to start seeing Jones at false 9 before Klopp puts Nunez up top.

 

 

[Josef Svejk]

I like him, want him to succeed (on basis of effort if nothing else), but think he's actually getting worse (than his very hit-and-miss start) and seems to be slipping down Klopp's pecking order, in any case.

 

It's not looking promising right now.

Ehh, maybe. If anything Gakpo has won the spot on merit - so that is exactly what you are saying - just a different guy. Who many wrote off a couple weeks in.

Diaz is a top left sided attacker - he shouldn't be getting in there if he is fit and rocking.

I think Jurgen is focused on tightening things up as much as possible at the moment so is picking the best pressers up front (usual exemption for Mo). It looks like Nunez will have to bide his time until the midfield is strengthened.
