in the derby games last season carroll dominated felliani in the air in all 3 meetings, especially the 3-0 at anfield.
thats where i`m not a big fan of rodgers tactical inflexibility and this total faith in this system of his, fellaini proved today that united struggle to cope with an ariel presence in their own box but will carroll be playing against them when we meet them in a few weeks time? carroll is better than fellaini in the air but we will probably try and play on the floor which is playing to their defensive strengths and ignoring their weaknesses.
you`ve got to be able to mix it up imo.
yep. exactly right.
Can't imagine Felliani will be sticking around much longer. He had a good season last year, and he looked incredible today. They really did feed everything through him, and his ability to control anything they threw at him was incredible. By the end of the game, they didn't even bother trying to win anything in the air with him because it always just ended in him blowing past them, or them fouling him.
If Carroll could be used like that, he would be a huge asset for us.
Credit to Everton, a thoroughly deserved win.
