Carroll'a opinion on his toughest opponents (Leiva!!)

[juniormember]

REDKNAPP: Who is your toughest opponent?

CARROLL: Gary Cahill. Timing, reading, good leap, very good. And Liverpool's Lucas Leiva. Oh my God. He played centre half against us. I don't know what it was. Every time I went for the ball he gave me a little nudge, the referee was never going to give a foul and I never wanted a foul, but he did me every time. Just judging me so well and knocking me off balance. I couldn't play against him.

It's entirely possible, if not probable, that Andy Carroll was drunk when he said that...

.... or even when he played...

Cunning. West Ham have their eye on our EL spot.

Shocker Lucas has game intelligence

They've probably got the same Agent / girlfriend / BBQ wholesaler.

Is this an interview with Kim Carroll?

Klopp took Randall off against Wolves and moved Lucas to CB and Gomez to Rb.
Suddenly we stopped leaking goals. Now I interpret that as Lucas being better at organising the defence than both Klavan and Gomez. Though he's still slow as fuck and shouldn't be anywhere near our midfield.

In central defence is still far to close to our midfield.

On the bench is close enough.
