Carroll was very disappointing last night
, for some one that is fighting to be in the starting XI he looked very out of sorts,
I am a big fan and am really wanting him to do well but just was not convinced, some of him positioning and crossing/passing was less to be desired, why did he kept drifting out to the wing and not stay in the middle where he could use his height to get on the end of some of the crosses? When he did try and cross wasn't really quite sure weather he ment it to be a shot or a cross but both where nowhere near
.
He really need to sort this out very soon with players like Bellamy, Suarez and Kuyt he could find himself spending more time on the bench then he would like, and with a 35 mil price tag on him thats not good.
On the other hand it was good to see Johnson get a good run out after injury played a good first half and will hopefully be getting a place in the team on Sat even if it is on the bench to start.
Lucas and Maxi both had good games with good positioning and some good passing and through balls just a shame we couldn't do anything with it in the final third
One other player that did impress me was Goalkeeper Doni, have not really seen to much of him before but made some really good and important saves 1 that kept us in the game even if we did go on to loose, it was just a shame he had to go off with an injury does anyone know how serious his injury was?
