Long story short, we bought a goal scoring tree for 35 mill quid. Carroll clearly changed ,our still effective, pass-and-move philosophy ,as i feared he would before the match, We looked one-dimensional in all the games he started.anyone talking about the city game is a knee-jerker, after the lucky built first goal, city lacked confidence and their game plan was haywire for a brief phase , leading to the second and 3rd was built based on a counter.Carroll is a goal threat no doubt,but we need a mobile player up front to break stone-walling defenses. Thought spearo was top class today, especially with his forward balls, was a bit untidy in possession, but at this rate, even gerrard will have to earn his place.Would have started pacheco instead, all our youngsters started off against bigger teams and did well.
