Totally agree there mate. When i look at Carroll i see a very good young striker with bags of potential.
Other fans see a suitcase with £35 million quid inside it and expect instant miracles.
Patience is a virtue bestowed on the few.
Completely agree with this. It's difficult for his style of play to be up there on his own, if we're playing balls on the floor.
He's more of the target man who's more deadly in the air and knocking it on to someone else in front of him. I'm not criticizing his footwork ability at all.
The result though despite the sending off was the right one. Arsenal were weakened, and we'd of kicked ourselves for not punishing their misfortunes.
Still think we need another flair player in the team like Suarez to up the tempo, we looked slow without him. Just look at the difference from when he came on.
But then again Arsenal are a high tempo team, we'll see how we get on in other matches without him (hopefully not).
