Have to agree. This is exactly what Capello is looking for Caroll to give. He'll start the next qualifier.

He did ok. However he is a Skunk and will get zero credit on here. Meanwhile back in the real world.Well hes been the only half decent player so far for England
Sounds like Townsend is about to shoot his load over him

Wasted the lad's talents for me. When he plays for his club they mix it up and knock a lot of balls into the left channel, to his feet. Gives him a chance to use his strength and hold it up more. f***ing ridiculous tactics belting aimless long balls from daft angles all night.

Exactly. There most have been few balls available for him to hold up and bring Walcott, Gerrard and Milner into the game.Wasted the lad's talents for me.

What about his performance?You're right, he'll get very little credit on here but Sunderland fans have given credit to Newcastle/England players in the past ...... Beardsley and Shearer spring to mind. I had no problem cheering Shearer's goals when I was away watching England.
There are 2 problems with Carroll.
Firstly he's a truly despicable man with a history of cowardly violence and I doubt anyone could deny that.
Secondly he's an indication of how dreadful the national team must be if the future is a throwback to Tommy Lawton, Brylcreem and balls with laces in them.

This direct style of play also made Henderson more anonymous then he should. Why exactly play a deep lying playmarker (which I'm assuming was Henderson's role) when you then by pass that role playing direct/long balls.
I would be interested to know how many completed passes we made in a row compared to France.
England's style of play is f***ing shite
What about his performance?

" Blackburn had to play three centre halfs against him "
Fat boy Quinn was raving about Carrol this morning and said it was only cos the rest of the team was shite that he didn't excell more.
Apparently he won every header and held up the ball brilliantly.
He had a decent debut in very difficult circumstances, but I was actually suprised by how many headers he didn't win, and his chest control was awful on many occaisons.
I also thought the whole team played better second half with the introduction of Johnson and Young, and again when Boothroyd came on. Just what I saw like.
Oh and he thinks Capello is a disgrace for playing Gerrard for more than 60mins as he agreed to do with Liverpool![]()
I thought his performance was reasonable.
He was on the oitch long enough to cause the French defence problems but, apart from a few aimless flick-ons, didn't do any noteworthy.
Yes, he wins balls in the air and holds the ball when it's played to his feet but, if we're playing the ball to him from defence, there's no one there with him.
It's not the player that's my problem it's the style he represents and I don't like it. I don't think it's suitable for modern international football to be honest.
That's not his fault blame the other players and Cappello.That's what I saw as well, thought I was watching a different game to what some on here saw, Carroll didn't impress me one bit, and by playing him, and his old fashioned style lead us to old fashioned football, a deadly mistake.
I wish Barry would fuck right off.
one thing i did notice about carroll was a couple of times he had an easy ball to lay off to the midfield and he bloody WELLIED it at them
he did it at jordan at one point
i was stood up shouting
LEAVE JORDAN ALONE
