ponsaelius Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Suarez was brilliant second half of the season. Just as good as Carroll was in the first half. Only the 4 goals but assisted a canny few others, won penalties, stretched the opposition to and genuinely made them a much better, more dynamic side.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Suarez 4 goals in 13 for Liverpool Carroll 9 goals in 13 for Newcastle Didn't Carroll have something like 4 assists aswel? Anyway those are some pretty clear cut statistics. And Carroll was absolutely everywhere for us and won pretty much everything in the air, he contributed massively to our form, which at the time was far better than anyone expected. He's certainly more 'effective' than he is a great footballer like, but he was extremely effective for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Football is about more than statistics. Suarez isn't even an out and out striker, he offers more when he's running the channels, dropping into wide positions, stretching the opposition, creating opportunities. People credit Dalglish for their turnaround but Suarez was the real difference. Suarez made Liverpool a better side than Carroll leaving us made us worse.

fredbob Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Same with Carroll for Newcastle realy, only he did actualy contribute statisticaly. True enough. I'm personally a massive fan of Suarez, he reminds me of a bellamy who can finish, only minus the attitude and plus the teeth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Football is about more than statistics. Suarez made Liverpool a better side than Carroll leaving us made us worse. He scored 5 more goals in the same ammount of games (13), it's hardly a statistic you can just ignore. But even then it's not like Carroll never contributed to our 'success'. And without Best our other strikers scored about 4-5 goals betwean them, we looked absolutely horrible in the final 3rd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Suarez, he's quality to watch aswel, and I agree he'll probably be the better of the 2 next season for what it's worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I thought Carroll had a pretty shit second half to the season. Where as Suarez looked one of the best players in the league. Carroll was immense in the first half of the season and we didn't slip half as much as i thought we would when he left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I was tempted to drop this in NWOAT, but hey, it's Carroll and fuck Andly Carroll! The following is the status update of a Facebook group called "Aussie Mags - Newcastle United Supporters in Australia" Speaking at a Melb lecture this week #LFC Head of Sports Science revealed Andy Carroll has admitted to him he thinks he's an alcoholic #NUFC I know we've all had a laugh about what a pisshead he is, but admitting to your club physio that you're addicted to alcohol is the next level up. (That the physio would then blab about it is another story ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 If true it's no laughing matter like. Hate the traitoring fucking gippo cunt but would rather he wasn't a clinical alcoholic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Fuk me alcoholic Honestly his little nights out make me look like Frank Gallagher when I was his age. He's a young Geordie lad who drinks like any of us do/did at that age, only its not appropriate for a footballer. When we've seen the likes of Adams, Best, Gazza and Merson's lives and career's ruined by the drink way in to their later years, its a bit hard to accept he's a plonky when he's really just a normal lad who made it as a footballer.

Zero Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Yea it's just normal for a young Geordie, just not appropriate for a footballer. But wait, he earned us 35m from Liverpool. I can't stop laughing then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I very much doubt he's sitting in his garrage drinking bottles of white ace every night like, he may have an alcohol 'problem', but he's far from a fucking alco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garth Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Just read this on another forum, if it's true it was good we got rid of him then. Speaking at a Melbourne lecture this week, Liverpool FC Head of Sports Science Dr Peter Brukner revealed that two weeks after signing for Liverpool Andy Carroll came into his office and admitted that he thought he was an alcoholic.

Tooj Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 He probably doesn't drink any more than lads from Gateshead his age. The only difference is, due to his status he can now afford to drink Cristal on the weekend, instead of a life drinking Frosty Jacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
