Unlucky Luque Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 i think he should be called The Geordie Jesus because of his hair and goal celebration. It also gives him a glorified Messiah-like identity, just so Sky can wank over him. Celebration? The running and pointing two imaginary guns to each side??

Fugazi Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Full quotes: “Simple, step on his hair.” “On a serious note, what a good player he is looking. Carroll’s got to be close to an England call-up.”“He’s an old-fashioned No 9, and I don’t mean that with any disrespect.” “He can head it; he is strong; he is a threat when the ball is crossed into the box, getting his barnet or his foot on the end of it.” “That is a classic English center forward for me.” “They are a dying bread and it is brilliant to see him doing so well.” “Hopefully he won’t do well when we play them. But who knows? They beat us 4-1 last season in the Championship, so we’ve got to improve big time.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Newcastle's Andy Carroll has head start in mastering striker's art In fact, standing at 6ft 5in with a chest size to match, the Newcastle centre-forward is nothing short of massive. Just looking at him is enough to strike fear into any defender. And Carroll has already proved, following Newcastle's promotion, that he's going to be a right handful in the Premier League. For confirmation, just look at the way he recently trampled all over Aston Villa's two centre-halves to grab a hat-trick. It was a rampaging display full of power and poise that more than did justice to the famous No 9 shirt. What's more, Carroll returns to the scene of that triumph on Saturday to face a side who could yield more opportunities. With St James' Park throbbing, Blackpool will have to stay strong to survive the onslaught, especially the centre-halves, who must be prepared for a tough scrap. For Carroll, though, it's got to be about more than just his physical stature this season, because that won't be enough on its own to succeed at the top. As a striker, you've got to learn the tricks to wrong-foot opponents and win half a yard in the penalty box. A classic example is by quickly shuttling backwards when the ball is out wide to move out of the eye line of your defender. His job then suddenly becomes a lot harder since he's trying to keep one eye on the ball and one on his man. And, as he takes half a step back to stay in touch, you catch him on his heels by darting the other way just as the ball is delivered. Timed right, the run will gain space and, if the cross is right, a chance to score. Sometimes, however, Carroll won't need to be so sharp in his movement. Because he's so big, it's just important that he gives his team-mates a decent target in the right area. That could simply mean pulling away to the far post when someone such as Jonás Gutiérrez looks up for an option. Unlike the previous example, the cross doesn't have to come from such an advanced position, either. If the ball is half-accurate, Carroll, marked or not, stands a good chance of nodding it down into someone's path, just like he did against Villa for Kevin Nolan's first goal. It's a simple tactic, but potentially dangerous if executed right. Not so much against the better teams, though, who tend to deny the right sort of possession. So, Carroll will have to learn quickly in the weeks ahead as he comes up against some clever defenders. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/7995234/Alan-Smith-Newcastles-Andy-Carroll-has-head-start-in-mastering-strikers-art.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
