First time back after motd. Voted Bellamy motm but both Skrtle and Agger close. Suarez a pain in the side for anyone to play against, Enrique top defender, Johnson better than last few games. Jonjo great first game back, everyone else, job done good 3 points. On Carroll's 13 mins. Hard to get into the game in that time. As for effort, Do you make runs in anticipation of a ball being played in to you, or do you wait for the pass before you move.? That depends on the game situation, when you are going for the win, the anticipated move is best, when the game is already won, the pace slows down and the urgency to get the ball forward lessens. Keeping possesion is more important so the service up front is not as urgent. The strikers playing the full match fall into the rythm, players introduced are not on the same wavelength. Carroll needs more minutes to settle into a game. Had we been 4 - 0 up, he would have come on earlier I suspect, and made a greater impact. He will perform against the right oposition, just needs more minutes.
