    Yup. Let's just blame him for the draw though both goals were before he came on. 10 minutes and the only one you want to blame is Carroll? How about Kuyt for being sloppy? Adam for being subpar most of the game? How about Johnson for shooting from distance and wasting a great opportunity to score in the 90th? No, you're right. It's much easier to blame a player who missed once from a difficult chance on his second touch of the game.

    Real fans we are.

    I've never rated Carroll. There's surely a reason he was offered around the Championship for half-a-million a few years ago.

    So this means you'll be in for Ba in January? After all you're looking at the rest of our squad.

    The new Liverpool owners might as well have bought Newcastle.

    Who is blaming Carroll for your defeat today, we are just questioning why Kenny Dogleash spends 35 million on a player, and then keeps him on the bench.

    If any other manager had waisted that sort of money on Carroll then he would be being slated, but because it's Queen Kenny, he gets away with it. It reminds me of when Shearer and Keegan had there recent managerial spells at Newcastle. Newcastle fans kept showing there support to the pair, despite the fact they were slipping further and further down the table.

    Queen Kenny is a poor manager, but that doesn't matter to Liverpool fans, as he is a Liverpool legend, were as poor old Woy wasn't :biggrin:

    didnt you think it was rather silly to bring on carroll to replace the one man who could really whip some decent balls in for him to get his head on?

    Torres is worth 100m if Carol or Benderson is worth 20m

    No? <laugh> We were in the Champions League because of Keegan.

    But he is the only Toon manager to take us from 2nd one season to 11th the next, he will be remembered for alienating or selling our best players and make **** signings!

    So all in all Keegan won trophies as a player with us and **** all at the toon and Kenny won **** all up there as a manager but has been successful with us.

    It's not his fault alone we didn't win.

    However I think he is a real problem. We cannot sell him now because he would be worth **** all. We'll have to wait.

    The fact that Henderson is ****, Carroll has been unimpressive and that Torres is a world class striker

    Can't really judge carroll until he gets a run of games - anyone blaming him for todays draw is talking nonsense - he had a chance to win it but suarez had several but we're not having a go at suarez

    if there is such a big difference between torres and carroll, how come they have scored the same number of goals in the premier league so far this season - and carroll has had less playing time - torres used to be a world class striker but is now a world class sulker - haven't seen carroll loading the blame for not scoring on his team mates like torres has done

    This is very true. Suarez is exempt from criticism though like Kenny from most your fans. Carroll scores against Everton then gets dropped. Logic.

    PS anyone who says Carroll can't play football, his hat trick goal against Villa, beautiful pass followed by a good run and cracking finish.

    I don't like to wander on to team boards and kick them in the nuts when they are down - but surely everyone knew that Carroll was an appeasement buy, after Torres was sold?

    It was never that he was worth 35m, the most expensive British player ever - it was that he was the only thing who looked half decent which could be bought for any amount of money within the dying days of the transfer window.

    I made a half hearted comment that Gary Hooper must be worth 40m if Liverpool paid 35m for Carroll, since Hooper scored more goals in less games in the Championship the previous season - it was half hearted in that it was supposed to be a joke because after all Carroll had semi proved himself in the Premier League by that stage, but with any half hearted comment there was still an ounce of truth... in that he didn't perform outstandingly in the lower division vs other much cheaper players the season before.

    Anyway as a Celtic fan Kenny is as much of a legend to us as he is to you, but even still I watched him do some bizarre things with money north of the border managing us and I'm not really that surprised he is doing the same with you boys.
