Guest optimistic nit Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 hope Bellamy doesn't play. going purely off the highlights he looked like one of liverpools best players yesterday, even though he only had 10 minutes. put 2 beautiful balls into the box. been getting plenty of goals and assists lately too (relative to liverpools poor scoring ability).

Dinho lad Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It will be interesting to see his reaction if he does score. I reckon he'd celebrate with joy. Since he left Liverpool, especially in the kind of circumstances, I've always doubted his "genuine" love for NUFC. I just think that he was simply one of those part-time supporters that the only reason he started supporting NUFC was because of his mates. Don't think he even loves football that much.... he's simply good at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Would be very surprised if he gives celebrating a goal a second thought. Then text Steve Wraith to say it wasn't against the Newcastle fans but to rub it in the owners face.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Andy Carroll may be struggling at Liverpool, but there have been signs he is not far off a return to form. Against Manchester City, he was denied a winner only by a superlative save from Joe Hart. On Monday, it was Blackburn's Mark Bunn who denied him, plunging to his right and slightly backwards to shovel Carroll's effort wide, a save so remarkable that Blackburn's players congratulated him almost as though it had been a goal. Carroll did nothing wrong with either the attempt against City or against Blackburn: but for the misfortune of finding two goalkeepers in exceptional form, he would perhaps be being hailed as the man who found two late winners. On the other hand, he also put a good headed chance just wide a few minutes before Bunn's save; but then had he scored against City, had he had that extra surge of self-belief, he may have found the extra inch in his leap that would have guided that on target and Bunn's late save would have been an irrelevance. The danger is that he comes to believe – as Fernando Torres perhaps has – that he is doomed and nothing will ever work again; but if he keeps meeting crosses like that, the goals will come eventually. Not every goalkeeper can save their best to deny him. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2011/dec/27/five-things-learned-boxing-day-football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 He didn't score in the last seconds against Blackburn because his finish was so week. It allowed Bunn to make a somewhat excellent save, but if he had made a proper connection Bunn would have had no chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Interesting. (FWIW, I wouldn't take him back now. I thought otherwise a few months ago but thinking about it, don't think he would fit into our system now [despite our longball tactics in the last couple of games]).
