Andy Carroll -" Liverpool willing to sell "

[Trumo]

if he had won the penalty, we would have missed it.

 

Is what you probably meant to say.

[Duff Man]

20m! Arf

[Guest ShoePiss]

The more you watch it, the more ridiculous and inexplicable it becomes.

 

Not really. He didn't want to score against the team he didn't want to leave who also happen to be his hometown team.

 

I'm sure I said months ago I wouldn't trust this lump of horseshit to play against the barcodes, oh well.

[Guest ShoePiss]

sell carroll.

and also adam, henderson.

 

and bring on a new gerrard next season 2013, for gerrard to retire in 2 seasons, 2014.

 

Exactly! And a new stadium by 2015 too.

 

Easy!

Agree with that. There is just no other reasonable explanation for it.

[WaltonRed]

Fuck off with this conspiracy theories about him not wanting to score

 

Its crap and something Evertonians would cook up

[Aldonose]

Conspiracy theory? What you mean the centre forward who was virtually forced to sign for us, leaving his hometown club? Who was at pains to point out to his best friend who writes for a fanzine in Newcastle that he didn't want to leave??

[Guest ShoePiss]

No, you fuck off calling me an evertonian. Explain what you saw him do then, go on.

[WaltonRed]

If the shoe fits

 

Saying a Liverpool player didnt score on purpose is a joke of the highest order

 

He dived, thats what he did

[betterman]

This shit of him not wanting to score against them is total utter nonsense. Possibly if it were last match of the season, they needed 3 points to stay up, we were safe 'MID TABLE'. But last time i looked we were 10 points behind them. He is just hopeless.

[kalasoma]

Funny thing is, I thought he was doing pretty well for the first 15-20 mins. But he can't be trusted in the box on his own, it seems. Him not scoring against Newcastle yesterday is pretty much Andy Carroll on any other day (with the exception of the goals against West Brom, Everton and cup competitions). I'm not sure I'm buying this idea that he didn't want to score yesterday.

[Code]

There is no other explanation than he is attempting a dive. I've seen people defending him on here for this, however how they can look at that and decide it is anything other than a dive, I'll never know.

 

Defended him?

 

I dont think I have seen anyone defend him, unless you think being a clumsy shithouse who cant even stand on his feet when he is clean through on goal is better than to dive.

 

I dont think he dived, I just think he is fuckin useless.

[stringvest]

I've asked a few non-Liverpool (non-Everton/Utd/Geordies) supporters and once they stopped laughing they have all said that it is definitely a dive, and the motives would include 'not wanting to score against your hometown club', 'not wanting to try to score with your shit right foot', and 'he's just absolute winnits'. It was a dive.

[Aldonose]

He fucking dived because he didn't want to score. It's ridiculous that a footballer would throw himself to floor with an open goal in front of him.

[xerxes]

I think that the problem is that psycholgically Andy hasn't been able to handle the move.

 

A sports psychologist explained how sportsmen do most things instinctively, but when fear strikes your mind scrambles and in a flash you have to remember how to do basic things -in Carroll's case like run with the ball.

 

It was embarrassing, and worthy of taking the piss, but underneath it all you have a man who I wanted to make it (he has got many of the right raw materials) but won't.

 

He's a (very rich) Francis jeffers.

Catch yourself on.

He did dive yeah, when it was completely unnecessary to do so. He's rounded the keeper.

 

Him a Liverpool player? You're calling him that but he isn't worthy of the title. He didn't want to join us, wants to go home and is about as unprofessional a player as you're ever likely to come across.

 

Why anyone would believe him to act professionally in this instance is beyond me.

Seriously, take a breath!

[Guest ShoePiss]

Seriously, take a breath!

 

I'm fine. That's what punctuation is for mate, take a breath after the comma and full stop, you'll get there eventually.

[Aldonose]

Catch yourself on.

 

Seriously, it's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with. As a footballer, you'd only dive if you couldn't score or had over run the ball. Neither scenario applies.

[kalasoma]

I'd like to see him start against Aston Villa though because our options on the bench are... well, slim. I expect we'll see him against Blackburn and possibly in the semi-final. If the plan is to sell him in the summer (I don't think it is) he needs to be seen to have goals left in him at the ripe old age of 23.

[kalasoma]

No, I think both of those scenarios are applicable and reasonable given the person in question. Poor form, lack of goals, lack of guile. It does make sense in the end if you've watched him at all this season.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Of course it makes sense, just because your brain cannot comprehend a player choosing not to score against the boyhood team that he never wanted to leave and would jump at the chance to return to doesn't mean it it doesn't make sense to others.

[PaulMcC]

He didn't trust himself on his right foot, so tried to win a penalty and get Krul sent off.

[Aldonose]

I've watched him since he joined, and from day one it was apparent he never wanted to leave Newcastle. I think his displays in a red shirt would back that up.
