mrmojorisin75 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 In what world would anyone describe Andy Carroll as a mentor? What would he teach Joelinton, the fastest car route to the Fox and Hounds from Benton? When you're a trash manager signing trash to take the heat off the fact you're trash and suckling on Mike Ashley's sweaty tit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Remember under Pardew we aimed every corner and free kick to Williamson at the back post. This will be the extent of Bruce's tactics, lumping it to Carroll at every opportunity. Just a shame for Bruce he'll probably be injured after 13 minutes like.

Guest Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 What can we do to appease the masses after a shit start? I know, let’s remind everyone just how much of a proper Geordie Andy Carroll is. Let’s forget he won’t play for another month or so though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 We’ll have been hoping for an easy first game in the Carabao Cup so we could have pushed the ‘Andy Carroll returns’ angle for his second debut in the next round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 He's literally Bruce's only hope this season isn't he. As soon as he and Gayle are fit, that's plan A. Bruce has no idea how to get the ball from one end of the pitch to the other so yes. Hoofing the ball up long to a big lad will be his prayer for redemption.

NE27 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Completely forgot he signed for us. I'll always see this as a desperate attempt to curry favour with the fans. Because realistically he's done the square root of fuck all since he left us but be injured. Suppose he's only got to better joselu's attempt.

Serb Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Andy Carroll may probably be the last NUFC player that I adored. Plenty of reasons for that - he is oldschool type of battering ram striker that is so rare nowadays, he fits in Newcastle's "local hero" obsession, he is fucked in the head just enough to be an interesting figure, and he was superb for us for season and a half. The thing is, I think AC could have been one of not just Newcastle, but England's greats - IF he played 30 years ago. Back then, apart from few players - strikers were groomed to be physically dominant in order to wrestle with the defenders, pick up long balls and play a simple game. And Andy's abilities are superb for that kind of play, I'd dare to say he could have been a world beater back then. But football has changed. There are way more then one strategy to penetrate the defense without a battering ram striker, hell - latest fashion is that you don't even need typical strikers in order to do so. There are few leftover antiquities in the footballing world now when it comes to big, strong, dominant strikers - Lukaku may be the perfect example, but they just don't work anymore. In order to facilitate that type of player you have to adjust your whole tactical plan to make it work, and managers are reluctant to do so, naturally. That's what I believe happened to him when he left Newcastle. Liverpool had a modern all-round striker in Suarez, and Andy just couldn't cut it tactically. He was young, boisterous, full of confidence... and with bags of pressure on his shoulders. Then came the injuries, and he rest is history - well, not the version Andy Carroll hoped for. Now that he's back, being 30 and plagued with injuries, we cannot hope for even a glimpse of what he had to offer almost decade ago. We are most certainly not going to build our team around him, and the best we could hope for is an impact sub that can change the way of play and support the wings after long balls. And that is a damn shame if you ask me. We had a hero, and now we have a washed up former player whose decline is there to reminds us every day all of what happened to our club in the past ten years or slightly more. Newcastle is Andy Carroll - bags of potential and "could haves", but is rotting on the bench of the footballing world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
