Worst no 9 for us ever. He is fkin shite cart horse if I ever I saw one. He's gone for the dive there, easy spot watch the left leg fail to come through naturally, he's waiting for the contact that never comes. Proper shit house play and the sooner he goes the better.

[YNWAViking]

Horrible that he didn't continue the run and score there. Fucking horrible shit.

[DanDanShaw]

If it's on his left foot he shoots and probably scores, it was on his right foot, being the shit footballer he is his week foot is non-existent so he took a dive - shit happens.

[NIred1]

If he dived that's horrible but arguing that he tripped up over his own feet isn't really better, in fact it's almost worse. The big lump of shite.

[Rafiagra]

He's expecting Krul to reach for it and so is half way over in anticipation. However, that never happens but he's committed to going down.

 

Any decent striker would be focused on scoring, not getting tripped.

[thesouthafrican]

How the HELL can a 35m striker in front of an empty net, FALL OVER?

 

It was intentional. Or a dive. I refuse to accept the alternative.

[TheHowieLama]

How the HELL can a 35m striker in front of an empty net, FALL OVER?

 

 

So true - a 50 mil striker would finish the move and put his foot through it driving it wide and into row Z. You get what you pay for.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Andy Carroll is a cunt and should never play for us again. The prick should be ran out of town. Oh, the horror! Calling a current player a cunt! Support him, don't call him a cunt etc etc.

 

There's a couple of then current players I've called a cunt over the years, Carroll now joins Paul Stewart and Stan Collymore on that list. The big, useless, shithouse cunt.

[Gimmeesumtruth]

You have to ask yourself would Ian Rush have done what Carroll did?Then you have to ask why not?The answer is that Rush played to win.A simple philosophy of scoring more goals than the opposition and risking injury to score.

 

It's not Carroll's fault,he's probably been coached since he was 3 years old.And he's probably been encouraged to fall over when he feels or imagines the slightest touch.The difference with Rush is that he just wanted to score goals and didn't have that type of coaching.

 

And then you have to look at why would we sign Carroll?If you just go on OPTA stats it's quite impressive.And if you go on OPTA stas for this season you'll see that Downing has put in 60 odd crosses and had 50 odd shots.But unfortunately nobody has scored a prem goal from one of his crosses and he hasn't scored a prem goal from one of his shots! But his OPTA stats are quite good.

 

And there you have it !FSG transfer policy seems to be based on age,OPTA stats and nationality.Liverpool's success was always based on players being winners and being determined to win.OPTA stats don't tell you that.

 

I quite like Carroll and Downing but I just wonder how much input Kenny had in signing them.I'm certain that when he has more say in the next transfer window we'll see a different type of player joining us.

 

And the signings won't be based on OPTA stats!Kenny's a winner and he'll be signing winners;regardless of what the OPTA stats say!

Still scored 26 goals in 61 games for us.

Why would anyone ask themselves that unless they were retarded?

[Gimmeesumtruth]

There you have it Section_31 why would anybody reply without reading the whole comment?Clever Boy!

[dirk grout]

Why would anyone ask themselves that unless they were retarded?

 

A good point.

[Jairzinho]

Ian Rush was better than Andy Carroll, imo.

[Duff Man]

Are some of you wumming, or just a bit thick? It's one of the most blatant dives I've ever seen. Watch it again, he doesn't even try to put his left foot down, he just lets it drag and goes down. If the keeper makes contact then it's a penalty. But he didn't and was never going to. It's just another example of poor old Andy fucking it up.

[dirk grout]

We need a poll to clear this one up.

[xerxes]

The shame is because having got himself in a good position, then rounded the keeper, his psyche is so shot that he reasoned that it would be easier to try to win a penalty, for Stevie G to take, than try to score himself.

 

That begs a question of Kenny and the coaching staff.If he is in that mental state, why is he playing?

[Gimmeesumtruth]

He dived!There is no question!But as a young lad coached in the modern game my point is that he's probably been encouraged to do that from quite a young age.

 

Maybe we can sort him out:he's still quite young and has a decent level of skill.

 

But I still stand by what I say.The only thing you can give to any player in any sport is an "all consuming"desire to win.And maybe under Kenny's guidance Andy will develop that But I think that modern coaching has encouraged players to fall over too often.But I also think that Kenny will get the best out of him in the end!

Is it April Fool's Day?

In your humble opinion, buddy. Don't forget humble.

[Torvald Utne]

hmmm I don't think he dived, he left the ball behind with the soft touch on his right foot, hurdled the oncoming keeper and couldn't bring the ball back under control with his right again and that was too much for his mind to deal with.

"I'd like to take this opp...

[ngogswilly]

Nobody really knows what was going through his mind or exactly what happened.

 

But it very much so looks like a very very shit dive. Its hard to argue against that .

[TheHowieLama]

A) Dive

B) Incredible physical specimen welded to two left feet suffering from frostbite

C) Complete oaf unable to control bodily movements or functions

 

 

He might as well tell the truth.
