johnnypd Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 carroll's been hyped too much and the press are setting him up for a fall imo, knowing that his private life is likely to be controversial. build them up to knock them down. he's someone, like crouch, who could have a place in a squad as he offers "something different" but this talk about putting him in england first XI is premature.

KaKa Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 From apparently not being good enough for the Championship to starting for England within a year. Not bad. And arguably being their best player. Crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Because looking at it he doesn't really have much competition. Obviously Rooney and Defoe are currently injured, but Defoe isn't a world class striker and nor is Bent.

Guest neesy111 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Carroll is better than crouch overall, crouch's goal scoring record in the league isn't great imo, especially with the good amount of service he receives at spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I daresay Carroll at 21 is better than Crouch was at 21, but Crouch has the experience and it showed tonight. Carroll showed tonight that he's not afraid of being pitched in at that level. He didn't freeze, and did his best, which is promising. But he's still raw and looks a couple of years off being ready.

ToonMonty Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 For me Carroll is looking the same player with the same strenghts and weaknesses as he did last year but the difference is it's now in the Premiership and England which is huge. Quite often the sign of a good player is that he looks the same no matter what the team is and to be fair Andy did that tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crouch did one thing and it was instinctive. Carroll never got the opportunity. Thought Carroll's all-round game was good compared to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Chuffed to bits for him. When you think back to twelve months ago he wasn't even first choice striker until shola got injured and we were desperate. Most of his goals came toward the end of last season, his rise to international level has taken well under a year and is nothing short of remarkable.
