I just didnt think Carroll was enough of a nuisance in the game, he had a little bit at the end and the header he hit the bar with but he needs to batter defenders and kick them and push them off the ball etc, he just doesnt seem to do that for me.
He stands still waaay to often and really really needs to get on his toes looking for the space and thinking a few steps ahead.

I think that's about right, he seems to want every cross perfect on his head and how often will that happen.
I actually thought enrique was shouting at him, not the other way round as he should probably have made a run to the front post considering it would be almost impossible for enrique to dig out a good cross from the corner flag. He needs to be more of a striker, go where the goals are, not just stand and moan.
