Very true, though on this occasion i'm positive he'll start the Semi-Final.

I thought he had a really strong game, playing most of it as a lone striker.  What impressed me was his all round game and how hard he worked for the team.  He was a giant in our defense, he held the ball up brilliantly and won everything in the air.  He also won us plenty of free kicks (that where poorly used).

I was made up when he scored as I think he deserved that goal, which was an excellent header.  I really hope Kenny gives him a run in the team now, as if he is dropped after that performance it wil seem a little unjust.

his heart looked in it yesterday, which big price tag or no big price tag is all the fans need to see

Anyone who knows anything about football is in no doubt that Carroll has skill. That hasnt been the question for some of us.
He wouldnt have been bought if he was as sh'it as some on here say. Whats been missing is confidence, self belief and a positive attitude. He finally looked as if he wanted to be a part of it last night and for the first time in a long time played with a smile on his face.
Anyone who is still slagging him off and encouraging others to do the same should just fu'ck off and support someone else. We really dont need you

you just know if we sell him, he will end up being very very good at his next club

Andy just needs to get himself into the box more often, rather than waiting outside of the box, if he got himself into more goal scoring position, he'd score more goals. He charged into the Blackburn box and got onto the ball and fired it into the back of the net, that's what we need to do more often. Get more players into the box, do that and we'll get more goals.

His positioning needs working on. He isnt the finished article

He definitely deserves a few consecutive games now, I was impressed with his overall work rate yesterday, even in defence.

Seem to recall when we won at Goodison and he scored Kenny left him out of the next game, which is counter productive and
hardly a confidence boost.

the goal was timely and nicely taken, but his best moment for me was the missed diving header. well, the final result wasn't that great but the movement and determination to get his head on the thing in the first place was that of a top striker. not saying he is a top striker yet, of course, but if he keeps up with that kind of work he'll possibly get there.

Shame about his striking ability though, he missed one absolute sitter before getting the goal at the end which was more down to Agger's superb nod-on. I'm still far from convinced about him but he is showing signs of improvement maybe we'll get some of the £35 million back for him when he's sold in the summer.

Which sitter was that ?

Shame about his striking ability as he scores the winner ? You are an utter bellend.

It was a cracking header and it was more than just Aggers nod on - you make looking like a ***** easy.

anyway... hope to be seeing him sitting beside Kenny at Wembley.

you must be gutted after last night? you'd probably have celebrated more if he'd scored that own goal than when he actually scored the winner.

Decent performance by Carroll yesterday and great for him to get the winning goal in that fashion in front our fans. Hopefully he can score a few more before the end of the season.

what skill? I have skill too... 

Hold the back pages!!! Maybe its not totally out of the realms of fantasy to suggest  the big man could have the makings of a young Toshack   
Sorry Kerry, but I think Andy's just cemented his place in the Semi against the Bitterz
