Kneejerk reaction imo.

If anyone thinks we wont be hoofing the ball to Carroll more often than not when he's on the pitch then this obviously shouldnt be an issue for you...
For me, it is an issue especially with Carragher & Charlie Adam in the side, and with Lucas being the type of holding midfielder he is..
Imo, we'll struggle to get the ball out from the back and the next logical option is to play the long ball for Carroll to go after...
... Obviously I dont expect Kenny to make any sort of quick decision on this and we could expect them both to start when fit.. But the thread isnt about that.. Its about what people think should be done.. and how they see our style of play affected by the inclusion of Carroll/Suarez

First day of the season but this thread isnt about the game today... If anyone thinks we wont be hoofing the ball to Carroll more often than not when he's on the pitch then this obviously shouldnt be an issue for you...

Carroll did well for the majority of the game today and I expect much of the same from him whenever called up which makes it a hard call.. Obviously I dont expect Kenny to make any sort of quick decision on this and we could expect them both to start when fit.. But the thread isnt about that.. Its about wht people think should be done.. and how they see our style of play affected by the inclusion of Carroll/Suarez
