Game is bypassing as the team are just trying to hit Carroll
 
like a rabbit in the headlights and overawed by the occasion, sadly.

He is 20 years old.

And he has done okay in the 2nd half, when he gets the ball. However he is not getting enough of it and playing deep, which I guess he has been told to do.

Not the worst player on the pitch either.

Not quite, but he certainly looks 'comfortable'. He hasn't turned when he's had his back to the goal, he's always done a Ray Wilkins and crabbed the play. I'd like to see him supporting Johnson on the right and get some crosses in, that would be canny.

Probably injured. Has a bad neck.

:lol:

Ahh, the reason why has just been subbed.

loada shite. it just keeps being booted over the heads of the midfield.

his energy, shielding and pushing back his opposite number has been good, his passing has been decent, that ball there to milner(?) on the edge of the box was class.

yep - needs to get involved in some link up play but he's obviously one the new boys and not getting heavily involved in play or has any link up with anyone

One thing I would say though, his screening has been good. He can 'stand' a player up okay.
 
It's plain to see that he has been asked to do a different role to what he is used to, and has done what is necessary. Sitting deeper, not pushing forward too far, closing opponents down and giving the ball to the attacking midfielders. Hardly put a foot wrong imo.
 
True, that's not his day job as it were, but it seems that Cappello has made him do that.

Edit: Get in Crouch

Agreed and that's partly the reason he has been quiet. Henderson's game is getting forward and supplying the forwards with through balls and what not, not keeping the pot boiling and sitting in for other midfielders while they bomb forward.
