Thought Downing was Awful again...
Agreed
Apart from that everyone else was effective.
Carroll is clearly lacking service.
Whilst he is lacking service, almost everything he tried, apart from the header on goal, and the chest down to Stevie(?) failed to come off.
I've always defended Andy, but last night he was undefendable. Right now he's a liability to us. Even when running in a straight line he stumbled, almost fell, and lost the ball. He's clearly suffering.
I want Andy to succeed, but we've had him for a year now, and against City he had one of his worse games. A whole year and there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Even his effort levels were lacking, and he looked 2 yards slower than everyone els. He's not even holding the ball up for us. It's like we're playing with no attackers.
I felt for him last night, I like him, I
really do, but there comes a time when both parties have to realise that perhaps this just isn't working. I really wouldn't be surprised if he's sold soon.
