Is it me or does he seem really sluggish now? From what I've seen without doubt, needs a huge boost in confidence too. I reckons he needs to go out on loan. Pretty much the only way forward for Carroll. Honestly can't see him doing anything worthy of note at Liverpool.

Had a look at the key incidents from the Fulham-Livepool game. Reina I'm pretty undecided by Spearing's red card tbh. He definitely got the ball first but his follow-through/momentum was a bit dangerous.

Ah right, yeah entirely agree with that point.

It really shouldn't be, Taylor's out until next season. We can flog Williamson in the summer or sign one of them on loan or on a short term deal. Personally, I'd keep Williamson. He's shown himself to be a competent enough PL defender. Plus his partnership with Colo last season was solid enough. Great back up really.

Probably is guesswork in the end. Some have said Colo will be out for 2 weeks (at least though ), some have said a month. He's having a scan tomorrow so we'll probably know more by tomorrow afternoon.

Still think Dalglish isn't right the manager for Carroll.

I'd be happy enough with Ridgewell, only as cover though. I'd like to think we would bring someone else in as well to play CB, but one who's properly equipped to play in the PL. Like Yorkie's said, a player who would ideally fill in for Colo if he's injured/suspended. As it stands, Williamson and Colo (in January anyway) will be the first choice pairing. Add this someone else, Ridgewell (and maybe Perch/Kadar) and we'll be fine I reckon.

Would be excellent if Yakubu scored another 4 goals next weekend

Aye probably.

Gerrin.

If the score stays as it is at FT then a point for Parky surely.

What if there is no alternative? Kadar is fit? He is but he isn't highly rated by Pardew apparently. I'd certainly start Kadar given our current situation.

With our current squad size, nope. Qualification should give us a fair bit of money, could be able to sign a couple of players (maybe). knew the answer, when I asked . I think it would be a step too far for this squad. and I just dont see Ashley improving the squad enough.

Howay Fulham.

What if there is no alternative? Exactly.

And Obertan and Lovenkrands do? Tbf, Obertan does do a fair bit of tracking back. Not really effective admittedly, but at least he tries.

A Fulham win would do very nicely.

If we see Alan Smith at any point on Saturday

Actually I think Pardew is saying that "there'll be big departures in January" so that he can avoid another Carroll situation ("they can put as many bids as they want, Andy is staying"). I think Pardew's quotes are, in a way preparing us, for the worst possibly

Despite what Pardew's said, can't see anyone leaving in January really Summer however.....
