Why he dove, I don't know. I imagine he was expecting to get taken out and prepared himself to go down, but regardless it was a horrible decision after a really good play by him.
Either way I thought he actually had a pretty good game. I think he'll be really motivated to get back out there and prove himself.
Why would he be more motivated now, and why hasn't he been motivated before, btw were you impressed with his headers, because I wasn't. I was always told that Carroll was really good in the air but I've never seen any evidence of that.
So his headers weren't perfect, but what about the play he dove on? I was watching it on a feed that was a little blurry, and I thought it was Suarez the way he was moving with the ball at his feet. We should be happy he's capable of doing this type of thing.
The reason people think he's so awful is because people like you sit here and say he's bad because his headers didn't look good, and that's why we bought him. That's such a stupid way to look at things. He was working harder then any player on the pitch today, and he did contribute more than most. Of him and Suarez, he caused way more problems today. He can do more than stand in the box and head the ball, but when he doesn't do that people slate him for it without recognizing the fact that he's massively improved in other areas of his play. He's much more of an all around player then people like you are willing to admit, and that's why people follow suit so much and think he's trash.
