Andy Carroll (now playing for Bordeaux)


Recommended Posts

Not sure we have options really. Carroll will get injured soon and Joe is proven to be useless at scoring goals.

 

Thought Joel did fine coming on as sub, which is where I think he should have started last season. We still have Gayle when he gets back from injury as well so we are not that bad tbh, if we can juggle the fitness issues right.

Joelinton might have a bit more joy playing alongside or just off Wilson. He hardly helped himself last season but it also didn’t help that we’d play the wide men about 30-40 yards away from him, with his back to goal in his first season here. Might play a role this season.

If there is any hope for Joel it will be now with pressure off of being a no 9 and playing off further forward strikers. Not saying I actually expect any improvement but he clearly is hopeless leading the line but has some technical ability so maybe can reclaim some worth in a deeper role even it is as a sub alongside wilson or carroll operating more traditionally. Still, plenty of players should be ahead of him tbh.

Yeah. With Wilson attacking the box it gives Joelinton the opportunity to do something different. Or rather it isn't as damaging if he continues to do the same as he always has.

It’s alright, he’ll be injured soon and we’ll be forced to change it.

 

By change it, I mean play exactly the same way but lump it up to big Joe.

Just think there was people that were happy with this guy coming back.... and that he signed an extension.

 

:lol: :lol:

 

I doubt these people were expecting him to play a more significant role than an option on the bench. I certainly wasn't and was happy to keep him around for another season. As a starting striker though….not so much :lol:

Likewise. I would have liked us to go out and get the 3 PL strikers that we need, but that wasn't going to happen, so Big Andy will suffice as third choice/tactical throw of the dice.
