Andy Carroll - Liverpools Number 9.

Status
Not open for further replies.
So when he's fit is he likely to play up top with Suarez as a genuine 2 up front do we think? I thought it would be a 4-2-3-1 with Suarez behind him somewhere, but I'm now leaning to a 4-4-2... although we don't have the wingers for that.

Great press conference from the lad. His remarks about Newcastle were humble and respectful and i dig the fuck out of that.

Yeah I liked it a lot too. I would be a bit worried if he wasn't at all sad to leave his hometown club.
 
I can't wait for March, thank fuck February is only 4 weeks long!

We might even see him this month maybe?
 
I'd love Nolan.

I read a week or so ago that Carroll was supposed to be ready for their next game on Saturday.

I'm secretly hoping that all this 3 weeks away from fitness is a ruse and we will scare the shit out of JT and the chavs, when they see his name on the teamsheet on Sunday
 
Speaking today:

Nolan told the Chronicle: “We’re all disappointed Andy’s gone. He’s a massive character.

“But he wouldn’t have been there last night, and wouldn’t have been there next week.

“People move on. This club’s a massive club, and no player is bigger than it.

“We don’t know how long Andy’s going to be out for – eight weeks or so – and we’ve just got to put that to bed. He’s gone.

“We’re all delighted for him on his move, but we’ve just got to get on with it.

“The main thing is we’ve got to do the best we can for Newcastle United.

“The best for us is making sure we stay in this league, and I firmly believe we’ve got the quality in the squad to do that.â€

Nolan insists Carroll’s departure should not be the end of the world.

He said: “We’re all disappointed Andy left, but it’s just one of those things.

“There was no one more disappointed than me. Not only have we lost a top player, but someone I was very close to.â€

And having bounced back from the departure of Chris Hughton, Nolan feels the Mags must do it all again after Carroll’s exit.

He said: “It’s going to be a bit weird over the coming weeks, but that’s not an excuse. We’ve fought big batles over the last couple of years, and this is another one.

“We’ve got to make sure we come out on top of it.â€

Compilation of Carroll against Villa. Gives a great sense of his strengths, which are varied. Interesting.

He's such a fighter, isn't he. Macca mentioned that during his playing days, teams would come to Anfield either to play football or to fight. But it didn't matter which it was, because the players could do either. I was too young to remember the great Liverpool teams of past, but I do hope that Kenny's able to turn back the clock and show us what Liverpool used to and can be like.

I assume that by "Macca" you mean McMahon. Most fans that I know would mean McMoneyman, who I can't see saying this (even if he had, it wouldn't have been true at that time).
[/quote]

Itr's probably younger fans who mean Mcmoneyman; but Macca has been a pundit on ESPN Asia for quite a while so ironicaly I think most Asians are more familiar with him as opposed to Shaggy.

Thank God for that, most other pundts hate us.

Some things never change.

It was Mcmahon. But it was true in the 70's and 80's. We had players who had ability and steel.

Ray Kennedy
Graeme Souness
Jimmy Case
Emylyn Hughes
Phil Thompson
Dalglish - I remember Moran smashing his cheekbone and Kenny still wanting to play on

Liverpool could and did mix it on the pitch back then. That's one of the reasons we were so successful, we didn't just have a plan A.

I'd like to assist my brother Spion by adding that it was Kevin Moran who dun dirty deed and not Ronnie ;D
 
Did anyone else hear this rumour that very senior powers that be were keeping their fingers crossed that Chelsea would not pick up exactly how fucked Torres knees really are?

Well we are assuming his mixed form is because he was not interested, maybe it's his knee injury from the end of last year.
Here you go.....Perhaps Nando really does love us after all and he has done this to get us £50m and fuck Chelsea up....or maybe not :🙂

He did say the move would be best for Liverpool and himself. Hidden code?
 
I'm going to put my neck on the line, and lower my expectations in my assertion, and say that he's going to be massively underwhelming.

As in FSG ?

That wouldn't be majorly surprising, they've had the inside track on injuries in baseball a number of times and come really well out of letting players go.

No Avvy, I quite understand that McMahon is more familiar to you folks out there but in fact it's fans of all ages, in my experience anyway, who would tend to mean McMoneyman when using the moniker "Macca". Mind you, I don't live in Liverpool, so it would be interesting to know what Scousers on here who still live there (as opposed to exiles like me) would say.

Yes. And that's why they left the medical to the very last minute
