I've said it before and I'll say it again. Carroll is the best player in the world at attacking a cross into the box. I really hope not featuring too much will not hamper him going to the world cup as he is the one player in this country who can change the whole dynamic of a team with one substitution. I'm not saying he should be a starter but I'd we are going into the last 20 mins of a knock out game needing a goal I can't think of a better option.
