You look at the entire teams contribution, if one player is minus (that means he contributes more to the opponent than the team he plays for) then you remove him. Andy Carroll contributed more for Stoke today than he did for Liverpool.
We won today because of contributions from other players (obviously).. if a player is minus that cannot be overlooked.
Again..
What are his goal stats? Dreadful
What are his creation stats? Dreadful
What are our possession stats when he plays? Lower
Peter Crouch... is a .. better player.. than Andy Carroll.
what an odd way of looking at footy, so if a defender gives away an own goal he`s `minus` 1 and he needs to score a goal to balance out the karma in your universe again, sounds like you`ve been studying the philosophy of the french national side.
carroll was part of a team that beat stoke, and beating stoke is something that we have struggled to do in recent years, infact our carling cup win at the brittania earlier on in the season was our first win against them at their place in over a decade.
even when we have had really good sides they have bullied us out of games, make no mistake carroll`s physical presense helps combat their strongarm tactics.
we dont see half the things that happen between a CF and the CH because we follow the ball but believe me andy carroll was making sure that the stoke players knew that this liverpool side wasnt going to roll over like some of our teams did in the past.
picking faults after we have got to our first f.a cup semi final in 6 years is embarassing.
