I think most knowledgable fans know that Carroll is a good player who is just underperforming, but sadly like Crouch many will feel that target men aren't what's needed at Liverpool football club.
Sadly Andy's price tag does seem to be affecting him and his level of performance. He's 22/23 years of age, hasn't had that much experience in the Premier League and has a massive price tag lingering over his head. Then you have the small fact that he's pushed and pulled in and out of the team, so he has less chance of gaining momentum, less chance of forging an understanding with the players around him etc.
Andy is a square peg being forced into a round hole at the moment and things just aren't working out. He has goals in him, you can see that, but we need to find a way of trying to get the best out of Andy, but not at expense of other players playing in and around him.
To me it looks as though Kenny doesn't quite know what his best team is and doesn't know how to incorporate Andy into the team. Andy has shown he has quality though, just watch his goal against Everton earlier in the season.
