Whilst Hill was vocal at set pieces, there was a real absence of communication today. With Barton absent, the midfield were distinctly silent. But I can kind of understand why: Carroll - too inexperienced Henry - lacking confidence Kranjcar - language barrier That just leaves the two most experienced players: O'Neill - has the experience, but quiet Johnson - has the experience, but quiet
Sorry Sku ...too many typos in this...so corrected O'Neill - has the experience, but quiet inept Johnson - has the experience, but quiet ineffectual
Only my opinion but i really don't rate Carroll, he is so light weight and gives the ball away too many times. He is not a ball winning midfielder and lacks creativity, with both he an Henry in the middle we are very weak. He needs to be shown how to protect the ball, he shouldn't be a regular first choice. And why the hell has he got the number 10 shirt, did Harry think he was getting Kane but Carroll turned up instead?
