Sifu Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Actually tbf, Carr did have a decent enough start to his NUFC career. Declined very quickly though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 He scored a thumper against Southampton on arguably the greatest day of my life - up until then, at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 He scored a thumper against Southampton on arguably the greatest day of my life - up until then, at least. It's always nice when we break a long-standing hoodoo, but i wouldn't go that far. Certainly a high point of Souness' tenure, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Carr was that good Nobby kept him out of the team at right back. I'll never forget him having a hernia operation before Shearer had his yet Shearer was back weeks before Carr and Shearer had a double hernia op to Carr's one.

Yorkie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Nobby was useful at right-back to be fair. You could stick Nobby in goal though and he'd get you an assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Aye, he had a decent spell when we picked up our injuries in '07. Forced Carr to left back a few times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Aye, he had a decent spell when we picked up our injuries in '07. Forced Carr to left back a few times It seems like my entire memory of NUFC has us playing square pegs in round holes or shitty players in general simply because of naff squad depth. Obviously it's not the case, but that's really what it seems like. One of the most infuriating things in football because it should be preventable.

Stifler Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 From an attacking perspective, i honestly can't think of anything Simpson has up on Carr. He's absolutely feeble in the final third. There are glimpses of a good tackler now and then. I used to be a fan of Simpson, but he's tailed off ridiculously this season. Even when we were winning, he was an obvious weak spot. The sad thing is though Simpson was more effective at bringing the ball in the box than what both Jonas and Obertan were against WBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrecked a very good team and was allowed to almost wreck the club, he was shit and we should have known that before appointing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I still remember one of the main reasons for Souness being brought in - his alleged trait of being a "disciplinarian". f*** off Souness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of only 2 or 3 managers below where Sir Bobby had us in the league when he was sacked. We paid compensation to Blackburn to take a manager off them that they looked like sacking.

It really is remarkable just how many times he'll do a step over, get a yard on a defender to fire in a ball.... and then choose to stop the ball for a bit. Ah well, here's hoping to some maturing from the blighter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
