spends a lot of time waving his arms about complaining at teammates

You're lil avatar guy there spends half his time waving his arms around, and the other half sticking his tongue out. What's your point? 

ha ha yeah he does. I'm going to name him... Andy

[jacdaniel]

Thought Andy had a decent game the other day.  Played a part in both goals and was unlucky not to score himself.

Carroll was well worth the money on saturday. His involvement and impact on the game were there for all to see. Unlucky with the header hitting the bar (again) so lets hope the penny has dropped and he shows as much passion and determination as he did against the skanks.

sorry but I didn't see it, can you explain to me what his impact was as I was watching it with a few neutral friends who could not believe how utterly cr@p he is, they really were amazed that he ever cost £35million.

please explain what he gives to the team, is it his endless running and tracking back, his natural goal threat, his positional sense, his astounding technical abilities? Please please tell me because I want to believe he isn't complete and utter garbage, I really do.

I would have told your neutral friends to stop talking sh'ite as LFC had just knocked the mighty Manchester United out of the FA cup. I would also have told them that Andy Carroll played a massive part in that win whether they liked the way he played or not. And finally I would have told them to stop being boring, obsessive knobs who keep going on about the £35 million.
Bring on the seagulls!!!

Well said. There's no critic like an armchair critic. WorcesterRed, you should be telling your friends to STFU. You're a Liverpool fan afterall.

Bring on da gulls indeed!

Talk about shoot ourselves in the foot 

Bellers cant play every game, Suarez might get injured god forbid,Andy Carroll might never score.

With all these games and the push for 4th place i think we needed more but what the f uck
do i know.

God help us if this is true.

[red till i die!!]

carroll showed the type of player he is on saturday with a hand in both goals.
he was instrumental in the 1st when he got himself between the keeper and the defence and that allowed agger to rise unchallenged and nod it home.
the second was a great flick on and thats the 2nd direct assist he had inside 4 days so that is a sign he is improving and his confidence is growing.
he doesnt suit pass and move but he is another option if the former isnt working and then he should be thrown on and we switch to a more direct style where we get the ball wide and find him in the box.
he maintains he is happy here and is beginning to find a bit of form and better understanding with his teammates so i hope to see him kick on and finish out the rest of the season in good form.
regardless of whether people rate him or not you cant deny that he had a big hand in us getting to a final and progressing closer to another.
like i said hopefully we see the best of him from here on in.

Andy Carroll aint got no friggin choice but to be happy

Unless he runs back to Newcastle and goes underground untill the summer.

[Kukilon]

I still think he is an extremly limited player but he was ok last game.

I still have respect for a player like Kuyt no matter how few goals he would score because he works his off. If Andy understood that that's how most of the fans works he wouldn't probably sulk around as much as he has done.

We are to blame for his price tag but if he doesn't do his utmost I'll blame him too.

Did we really offer a swap with Tevez? Soemtimes we really mess ourselves up

Club deny it, papers swear by it.

I don't know who to believe...

True, and that is his role, but did we really spend 35million for an extra option? A player who we can throw in if things arent going well so we resort to plan B and start launching it into the box. The 8th most expensive player in history.. an extra option?

You pay 35million for a nailed on starter.

Judging by reports, Andy Carroll has the rest of this season to show something he has yet to show. Flick ons and headers is not 35 million, Kenny is expecting more. Although we won ugly against Man U, we were right to play direct and exploit their weakness in the air (no Vidic/Ferdinand and have a keeper terrified of crosses). The game against Man City we played on the floor and were much better, Bellamy outstanding, and we dominated them for long spells. Thats the method that we aspire to play and unless Andy Carroll can develop his game to be more than flicks on and headers, he won't be here long.

[Igor Zidane]

Was an improvement on saturday , made use of his build and hieght. Held the ball up much better and his passing was better aswell . Credit to the lad for this display . He must keep improving though.

I don't know who to believe...

I wouldn't have minded a swap for Tevez if he went down in salary. Still a nut job though. That swap has more to me doubting Andys talent though..

I wouldn't let him clean the bogs! Sounds like a complete p.iss take to me!

yeah unfortunately they know a thing or two about football and as said they were being totally neutral and could not believe that a player as poor as Carroll plays for Liverpool. They were happy that we won though, especially after I bought a few rounds of drinks
