healthyaddiction Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Shola nodded it down into the perfect area but Carroll was in wrong position iirc. This is what happened. they both went for the same ball, not sure whose fault it was though. i was sure it was carroll that reached it. Definitely was Shola who got to it.

Guest Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Shola was already far post. Carroll made the wrong run. He'll learn from things like that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRL Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Shola nodded it down into the perfect area but Carroll was in wrong position iirc. This is what happened. they both went for the same ball, not sure whose fault it was though. i was sure it was carroll that reached it. Different incident. That did happen, but there was another occasion where Shola nodded it down and Carroll had followed the flight of the ball and was in no mans land. I noted in the match thread it was one of those where it was commented 'if Nolan had been playing it'd be 2-0'. I'd likely agree, although I'm not sure Nolan would have got in the box that quickly.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Classic example of him been too hungry to contest the ball, I think we need a poacher to play alongside him personaly if we are to play 2 up top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 There were times in that first half where I was sure they had magnets on their shirts. That Ameobi nod down was the perfect example. If Carroll had simply stayed where he was, it'd be 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It was definitely Shola who got it. If Carroll had stayed where he was, it was an easy tap in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I think madras may be thinking of an incident second half where they both went for it again? Not sure though. The moment we're all talking about here was definitely Shola, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It was definitely Shola who got it. If Carroll had stayed where he was, it was an easy tap in. Unfortunately, yeah, was definitely Andy that messed up on that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Just watching his goal again... what a flash of pace that was to get to the ball. I know i'm just repeating what we've said a million times but i honestly can't believe how much the lad has improved. Even down to pace and stamina... his whole game has just quadrupled.

I know i'm just repeating what we've said a million times but i honestly can't believe how much the lad has improved. Even down to pace and stamina... his whole game has just quadrupled. Agree completely. He's gone from a decent Championship striker to the very best in England in a few months, it's incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It's that hunger and determination that has made him the player today. Totally agree that he needs a nippy strike partner. It could be just as effective as Shearer and Bellamy if Ben Arfa gets back and we get a RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Aye this time last year it was debatable whether he should be our 1st choice, now he's probably the best centre forward in England, I've never seen a player improve this much in that space of time.

Unbelievable Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The former. Wow, you've gone from completely underestimating his potential to vastly overestimating his ability. A testament to his development certainly, but also to you bipolarity.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
