When Andy Carroll is fit....
... how is he going to fit into a team that plays ball to feet?

Wasn't that the reason that Liverpool got rid of him?

He'd be good to bring on with 25 mins to go if we're losing, but i'm not sure what else.

Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
He plays very well with the ball to feet, so probably like that

You should have watched him play.

First not all games are going to be against Norwich.

Second Carrolls passes quiet well

Third, a whole lot of Payet's assists last year were a result of the head of Gignac.

Will be nice to have the option.

Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
Carroll can play on the floor but did you actually bother to watch the last half hour?? If you did did you not notice the quality balls crossed into the box? How will Andy copy with them huh

Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
I did watch it and saw a lot of pace with balls to feet. Fair enough though.

I don't buy into any of the theories about this season that include "When Andy Carroll is fit..."

Buy Hernandez or similar, if the money/opportunity is there, and try and get someone else in on loan.

Re: When Andy CARROLL is fit....
Match fit ,he will almost certainly be in the matchday squad .

He will start matches when his presence is needed at the start

Athletico Easthamico 11:26 Tue Jul 28
Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
Yeah, I was thinking of the way Gignac got on the end of Payet's crosses.

Hope Carroll can get fit and do the same.

Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
He'll fit in easy. We haven't banned crossing and headers, and he can play with it as his feet as well.

He'll be a handful in the box if we are pressing high up giving him support, rather than long balls for him to deal with on his own.

Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
I would the space Carroll makes would also be ideal if you play the way we did tonight.

Still very early days and it was only a kick around.

fraser 11:37 Tue Jul 28
Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
He's our best striker when fit and on form, he'll fit in easily.

Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
Not sure there's much between Sakho and Carroll

Sakho will also love those quality crosses into the area

When? Do you mean if?

Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
Carroll's an excellent player. Why wouldn't he fit in? Wish people would stop questioning Carroll as a player. Yes, it's frustrating how much time he's spent injured, but he is a fucking great player.

It's the BFS connection. All will change once he's fit again. It'll be like a new signing....

Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
Off the top of my head I can't think who he scored against around november time, but he controlled the ball with his feet,span around and fired a shot from the edge of the box all without any use of the head. Cracking goal..

When Andy Carroll is fit

hopefully we can sell him a bit sharpish.

Re: When Andy Carroll is fit....
Good finish against Leicester too after Konchesky accidentally put him through on goal. There is more to Carroll's game than aerial prowess and physicality.
