I think the turning point for andy is when he got booed by the newcastle fans. I think it's then he realised he is no longer theirs he is now ours and there is no going back.
wrong thread?
Carroll told Liverpoolfc.tv: "It's a great feeling scoring a goal at any time but with it being at Wembley and against Everton, it's even better.
"That's why you come to Liverpool FC to play in games like this and you want to win things. Getting to Wembley twice is amazing.
"We have to dedicate this win to all the Hillsborough families.
"It's a great feeling for us and the fans, and everyone involved at Liverpool FC.
"Going 1-0 down was disappointing but I thought we showed what we are all about in the second half.
"We kept at it and Luis got us level with a great finish and then Craig put a great ball in for me for the winner.
"I had a few chances and should have probably put a few away before I scored but I kept at it, kept working hard and got the goal."

Loving the big man. i'm drunk since friday but fuck you that doesn't cloud my judgement he's aces you carpetbaggers.
I agree Kenny. It reminds me of something an orphaned boy said to Gandhi in 1934:
"Through my boyish tears I can still hear laughter in the clouds and taste sugar in the sweet spring rain".
People need to keep all this 'likes' business in perspective.
I have zero likes in the new era so I have been perspective?
*sigh*
This kind of enthusiasm over Carroll - because he basically lucked one goal when he should have had several - is exactly why we will not be a top four team next season.
Happy for the guy. Sad for Liverpool FC.

strikers are always going to miss chances, what's important is you keep putting yourself in the position to hit/miss those chances.

I'm really hoping andy comes good because I want the entirety of the transfer kitty to be spent on the midfield.
I think we need a central midfielder and quality attacking player. this will enhance what we have.
ideally martinez and hazard (not very likely) but if not, players of that type.
I think we're closer than the league table suggests and it those two players that will push us the rest of the way. that said if kuyt leaves he'll have to be replaced.
I'm delighted for the guy. Two winners in two massive games.
However, he does my head in. He misses so many chances, some of them sitters. I'd love to see become a top class striker for us, but I'm not sure it will ever happen. His first step should be to make sure he gets himself into the box earlier. Once he does that, the rest will soon fall into place.

the downing cross was a sitter.
the shot he pulls wide was an oppertunity craved open for himself
suarez gets in his way for one chance
two were half chances but the downing cross was an absolute sitter but even after that he didn't hide and got his reward for his hard work in the game. that's the type of mentality you want in a striker.

THE biggest derbies have always been settled by the biggest players. It was Ian Rush in ‘86 and ‘89, Graeme Souness in 1984 – in the ‘77 semi-final it was Phil Neal who broke the deadlock decisively.
In 2012 Andy Carroll’s claim to being a big player was based purely on his size, but at Wembley – in the biggest derby match for 23 years – he scored a giant-sized goal.
It was a match-winning, season-saving goal. And it may just be career-changing too.
Because Carroll scored a towering header when he had every right to be sulking, kicking the turf in frustration and wondering if anything was ever going to go right for him.
The striker’s 87th-minute celebration was thoroughly deserved, because it was testimony to an unbreakable character, an unshakeable belief in his own ability – the kind of quality which characterises the very best strikers.
Carroll missed an absolute sitter just seconds after the half-time restart.
It was the kind of howler which is remembered for decades – a “Smith must score . . . ” miss, a Geoff Thomas for England miscue, a Don Fox in front of the conversion posts shocker.
His close pal Stewart Downing must have been equally horrified, as he saw another potential assist scorned.
But while the winger barely threatened again and was substituted, Carroll didn’t let it bother him and continued to pepper the Everton goal with efforts.
If Luis Suarez was the classiest Liverpool performer on display, it was his strike partner who supplied the most frequent threat.
Carroll took advantage of a slip by Seamus Coleman to crash a low drive inches wide of the target.
Three minutes later he dragged another one wide.
In the 83rd minute he was unloading on Tim Howard once more – and this time his shot was deflected behind.
Take note that every single one of those efforts came with his feet. Liverpool’s supply line doesn’t have to be exclusively aerial to get the best out of the six feet three inch centre-forward.
Of course when that supply is aerial and accurate, though, Andy Carroll is almost undefendable. And that’s exactly what happened with just three minutes left of an absorbing, if undistinguished derby.
Craig Bellamy provided the quality delivery from the left flank, and Carroll soared even higher than Marouane Fellaini’s hair to plant a decisive header into the Everton net.

Heh. Got to love that one.
Glad to see nobody's going overboard about Carroll after a couple of decent performances, or about us after winning the semi, just as I knew they wouldn't.
Thats pretty slanderous mate.
Maybe you should be a little more respectful to the first poster to ever hit 100+ likes on SCM
Hehe.....
Not that im arsed but I had 120ish Likes before the great like loss of 2012.
