agreed 77 he in my mind a more defensive player but I still think he can give us more going forward than henry who would probably be his replacement,also agree most of their midfild were better although not the lump from Chelsea,they were better than our whole midfield on the whole hence the long periods of possession they had.however it was good to see everyone put in the graft to get us a win.
Average at best. Gives the ball away too easy. I have not seen the potential in him to be an establish ELP. But who knows as he is still young and should get stronger but distribution has to improve.
I think the term is 'fickle fans'.. great performance from Carroll last night. Typical that were shooting down a young English talent already. And he is what 20?
Eh? Played well tonight, better than Ravel. The double standards in the stadium tonight was embarrassing. Carroll tried a turn & lost the ball in their box and the stadium got right on his back, 5 mins later Ravel tried to take on 2 men nearer the halfway line, lost it & nearly cost us a goal (Clint's last ditch tackle saved us) and nobody said a word.
He was far from perfect tonight, a few stray passes, but no more than anybody else. In fact, he made more successful passes than anybody else IMO. Proper scapegoat.
The voice of reason as usual Matty. I don't think I have seen a player divide opinion so much since you know who.
I like LTC a lot and he will become a very good player I believe. He always shows, looks to move the ball on quickly and has a great attitude. The abuse he gets from some of the crows is embarrassing to be honest. I have someone behind me in X block who gets straight on his back.

I have some numpty in V block who does exactly the same with the lad.. He can't do anything right
Successful passes sure. Telling passes? Few and far between. Morrison was carrying a injury, but even then he knew where the goal was. Carroll gives every indication of not even seeing the goal. Fella creates nothing useful other than keep possession.
That's really frustrating, isn't it? Like yesterday, he got the ball 20 yards from the goal, 1vs1, no-one else nearby and what was his decision? Turned around and passed wide! Had about 3-4 chances to shoot, but didn't. Some improvements in last two games, must admit - he now passes the ball to someone else than our full backs only.
