He's proper making an effort, Carroll.

Anyone else heard arsebender rather than Lars Bender?
Ha ha - Sorry mate. I was caught up in 'The Day Today' moment. 😉
NP. I knew it was not directed at me 😉
Sidney Sam is a fucking ludicrous name. His parents need a good kicking.
fun fact (game is slow): 7 of our players on the pitch presently are British.
Fucking hell, sterling's cross would have met Carroll head in a masterful fashion had that defender just about got to it.
This raheem lads alright, why has no one mentioned him before 🙄

The Kop loved Adam & were ambivalent about Carroll & now it's reversed.
I'm bothered that we seem more intent on crossing it long since Carroll came on. We don't need to do that each time, play the same brand of football but use that as am occasional option. Just mix it up as opposed to being reliant on one way.

What I saw of it, good game.
Sterling needs a bench place next week minimum.
Carroll shouldn't go anywhere.
Lucas is doing well considering.
Adam isn't good enough but could do a job perhaps, I expect him to go.
We change our style when Carroll is there. That HAS to stop, it does him nor the team no favours.
Stevie revels in this system, & its no surprise he links with Suarez like their telepathic, cos he does that with any top class player.
If Allen can provide very quick passes to Stevie like xabi did then he can exploit that & set suarez, borini or Carroll up. Without alonso feeding Stevie quickly torres struggled for that very reason. This system suits it.

Sterling has talent but gives the ball away waaaaaaay too much. Not ready to start for us.
Ahem.
Not is Coates. Didn't cover for their goal.
Spot on. The other players encourage Rodgers to dismiss Carroll, not Carroll himself. He can play in a system like that if they let him.
Don't think it's quite as clear cut as that.
He had a player to his right I think, unmarked. Had he covered for Carra's cockup, that player would have been completely free.
Have to look at it again but I thought he should have moved up 1-2 steps closer the Sam. Make it harder for him to turn and line up the shot.
And, yes FFF, I should have typed 'Nor' rather than 'Not'.
I think his main problem is still his size, which is hardly surprising given that he was still about 5ft tall a couple of years ago. He can be bullied off the ball very easily. Will be a good option from the bench, though.
Yup, but he's got a touch of class about him.
You must have only seen 5 minutes then because it was turgid shite.

BR on Sterling "he's a talented boy, he's still got a little way to go. I loved the goal."
BR on transfers: "Hopefully we can get one or two more before the end of the window."
BR on Joe Allen: "We hoped he could play today, but if he gets 40-60 minutes in the week for Wales it won't harm him."
BR "I've got so much to prove here, some supporters won't be sure about me but I'll fight for my life. My promise is to fight for the club."

I saw about 20 mins of the first half & 15 of the second. So not much, no. Still, someone had to start the ball rolling, and the observations remain true about Carroll.
