Andy Carroll (now playing for Bordeaux)

Think he looked like Shola Mk II yesterday. Reminded me of when Pardew took in Shola because he was good at defending corners. With Carroll up top, we are so one dimensional. All free kicks and crosses go towards him.

What happened to Muto? At least he runs a lot and puts some pressure on the defenders.

Did 3 good headers and that was it really. Can't play on floor.

 

3 is generous.

 

He's a fucking carthorse whose absurdly poor performance is masked by successfully doing his job a single time.

 

Did a class defensive header, a really good flick on and nobody gambled, and the Shelvey assist.

 

I agree he is fucked on the floor though.

Carroll started his first Premier League game for Newcastle in eight years and 342 days - the second longest run between starts for the club in the competition after Pavel Srnicek (nine years, 62 days), and the seventh longest gap between starts by any player at a single club in the competition's history.

 

Any idea who the others are? Can only think of Rooney and Jagielka, must be missing some really obvious ones

 

 

 

Henry? Not sure how long that was between him leaving and going back.

 

Andy King of Leicester?

 

Edit: no. but I think there could be a Leicester player in there.

Great signing for this sort of manager tbf. Just imagine what he could have done with Rondon.

 

The same thing; punt it long at him.

 

Carroll's played his part in the last two games, like, without a doubt.

 

It's not like he became a bad player, he's just unsustainable.

Rondon is more mobile, scores more goals, and will be fit for more games in a season. Decent free kick taker as well, but in hindsight that £16m price tag is probably not worth it for a side that only needs to avoid relegation.
