WHY CARROLL NEEDS PATIENCE AND TIME?
It only takes one bad touch for the criticism to start. You know that it's coming as soon as Andy Carroll misplaces a pass or fails to control a ball; the comments that he's not worth the money spent on him, how he's a big mistake, that he's too lazy to try and make it work.
You can even sense some wanting him to fail so that they can tell everyone that they told you so.
There is a lesson about not writing players off prematurely in Lucas Leiva's transformation from Liverpool's fall guy into one of the team's most important players. Yet, judging by the negative feeling towards Carroll, there are quite a few who seem unwilling to heed it.
It is undeniable that so far Carroll hasn't really delivered. Just as there's no arguing that he has struggled to make an impact. But there have also been enough glimpses of his potential to see that there is something quite interesting there. That game last season against Manchester City where Carroll scored twice by itself should be enough to convince just how good he could become.
That is hardly surprising. Carroll has all the characteristics that you could want in a striker: incredible strength, a tremendous shot, virtually unbeatable in the air, the willingness to sacrifice himself for the team and also a good technique.
Yet in his lack of experience he is missing one very important element. Barely eighteen months of first team football - most of which were in the Championship - aren't enough for a player to have developed fully. He still has to learn about his own game as much as anything else.
What has made Carroll's life particularly hard is the £35 million Liverpool paid to get him. Had he joined for even half of that amount, there would be far greater acceptance and willingness to allow him to grow. But instead people look at the size of the fee and decide that for that kind of money Liverpool should be getting a player who is at the peak of his ability.
Yet he isn't. The fee was simply a product of the circumstances that preceded the transfer and not really an evaluation of Carroll's value at that point in time. Liverpool were willing to pay such an inflated amount because they had the cash and wanted to send out a message of their ambition.
But they were also willing to pay it because they believed in Carroll's potential. The trick with potential, however, is that it can be difficult to coax especially when the player is under pressure. Young players will go through rough patches, they will make mistakes and they will struggle. It is all part of the learning process.
That's what's happening to Carroll who has to get used to a team playing in a different manner and with greater expectations then he's been accustomed to. The potential is definitely there but the pressure is eroding his confidence. As he doesn't yet have the maturity to deal with it so the problem keeps getting bigger with every game where he disappoints.
It is a vicious cycle that only Carroll himself can break. Just as Lucas found the inner strength to dig deep and eventually prove his critics wrong, so too must Andy Carroll. With time hopefully he'll manage to do just that so that Liverpool will finally get the player worthy of all that money they paid for him. |

Andy Carroll switch to fullback?
Andy Carroll knew he failed to block Peter Crouch, even though the corner kick was illegitimate in the first place.
WHILE many of you would like to praise the magnificent goals by Luis Suarez and long-awaited miracle by Stewart Downing, I would like to focus on one small size midfielder of ours, one Mr Jay Spearing. He has dramatically improved in the last few games especially in the Everton match and most intriguingly, in the last night's match against Stoke City.
Jay Spearing is my MAN OF THE MATCH.
Now on to the real business. I may sound like a broken record or even thought as an act of disloyalty to keep on criticising Andy Carroll. Trust me, I don't have much to gain nor would I be cheered by the Newcastle United fans for doing so. The last time I commented on this subject, some of our fellow LFC fans chastised me for being rude and writing a blasphemy article towards our own player. It's not true. As a loyal and hard core fan, I am voicing my mere frustration by his performance. It was a repetition of a many unspectacular play and again it was evidence in the FA Cup match against Stoke City last night.
Firstly; Andy never won the aerial battle with Robert Huth. He managed to win some free kicks after he was fouled either by Huth or two other towering fullbacks of Stoke City. The long balls were a subject of not 50-50 chances but more like 30-70 for Andy to lose out.
Second, Andy was slow in reaction or in a football terms, freaking lazy SOB. It was blatant when Dirk Kuyt play 1-2-1 only to find Andy was not moving. Andy should have known that Kuyt was the only advancing player while another team mates was a bit too far at the right for Kuyt to pass the ball. So it has to be him. But the freaking lazy SOB were too slow to react.
Third, Andy didn't seems to click with any of the other forward, be it Luis Suarez, Kuyt or Steven Gerrard. The long crosses from the fabulous Jose Enrique or Martin Kelly or Downing were easily clamped by Huth. If you can't do much because there were one or two defenders shadowing you, can't you at least disrupt them so other players could muster their shots. Apparently not.
Fourth, since he can't win the ball, we thought it would be okay for Andy to assist our defence, especially during the set-pieces. But he didn't managed to shadow Peter Crouch sufficient enough to stop his predecessor from heading the ball into the net. Albeit the corner kick was an illegitimate one (the ball didn't touch any of the LFC players) and the silly complaint by Pepe Reina regarding the obstruction by a Stoke City player (we did that in the match against Manchester United).
Fifth, contrary to that one incident, I think Andy did pretty fair in the defensive role. In the crazy aerial bombardment by the Stoke City with their long throw-ins, Andy won lots and lots of the balls. In fact, one of it was crucial as Crouch was ready to pounce the sweet crosses when Andy flew high to head the ball away.
It would be crazy to suggest Andy to be switch role from a striker into a fullback. It's not as if we can suggest the same for a striker like Dirk Kuyt to change into a right winger because fullback needs another type of skills: tough as a thug but accurate and timely. Flash your images to Martin Skrtel and the back-to-good Jamie Carragher. Andy wasn't that tough. If he is, he could have won many many battles not only with Huth but other opposition big size defenders.
But since he is not good at the front, why not try him at the back?

The Reds bawa 'api' Piala FA
2012/03/21
LIVERPOOL: Liverpool mungkin berpeluang merangkul trofi kedua musim ini tetapi kunjungan ke laman QPR bakal membuka jalan sama ada mereka mampu kembali meletakkan kempen Liga Perdana Inggeris di landasan betul.
Reds mara ke pusingan separuh akhir Piala FA, di mana mereka akan berdepan sama ada Everton atau Sunderland, selepas menang 2-1 ke atas Stoke, Ahad lalu.
Skuad kendalian Kenny Dalglish sebelum ini menamatkan kemarau enam tahun tanpa piala apabila menewaskan kelab Liga Kejuaraan, Cardiff City dalam final Piala Liga.
Namun kejayaan itu gagal disusuli dalam kancah liga apabila Liverpool kini berada di tangga ketujuh, 10 mata di belakang penghuni tangga keempat, Arsenal dan hanya tiga melebihi pendatang baru, Swansea.
Ketika prestasi tidak menentu di laman sendiri masih mencetuskan persoalan, Reds turut bergelut apabila beraksi di luar Anfield. Liverpool sudah dua tahun tersisih daripada Liga Juara-Juara dan tahun ketiga berada di luar kelompok empat terbaik akan mencemar reputasi mereka.
Pemain tengah, Jay Spearing, 23, sedar keghairahan mengejar piala tidak patut mempengaruhi prestasi dalam saingan liga. “Ia (Loftus Road) bukan tempat yang bagus untuk dikunjungi,” kata Spearing.
“Kami perlu ke sana dan menunjukkan permainan kami, mengumpul tiga mata dan mula memanjat tangga liga. Impian setiap pemain untuk beraksi di Wembley dan ia tentunya lebih istimewa jika separuh akhir dibarisi kelab Merseyside.
“Kami berkeyakinan tinggi untuk ke sana dan mara ke final. Kami mempunyai perlawanan besar Rabu ini (hari ini) yang perlu diberi tumpuan dan mengumpul tiga mata, tetapi sebaik ia (separuh akhir Piala FA) tiba, kami perlu bersedia.” – AFP |
