A Long Reign Needs Time for King Kenny

A lot of talk about how Carroll has been playing and his game at his return to St James Park, this particular game shows exactly what he is doing. Nothing special.


When he was at Newcastle, he seemed to show such potential but since his move to Anfield, there has been little to no improvement. He has shown he can move, but only when he wants to and not when he needs to.
He's always expecting the ball to come to his feet rather than moving forward for the ball which, when you watch the games, Liverpool's players are always playing the ball forward or at least trying to. The midfield are always looking for Carroll but he doesn't seem to be able to be seen up front. He has skill but he's not showing it.


I feel he's acting like a spoilt brat at times and maybe the money has gone to his head and expecting everyone to play around him. He's also not adapting to situations well either and seems to stick to what he knows and let others around him manipulate his game. which brings me to his mental strength.


I don't think he really has any when he's on the pitch. His reaction time is particularly slow and his dive was a dive no matter how you look at it, which was unnecessary as he had a chance to score in the previous game as he came almost one-on-one with the keeper.


Instead of showing what Newcastle were missing, he showed exactly what they got rid of and a brilliant investment for them to bring Ba and Cisse in.
It seems we went to replace Torres with another Torres, who was at the time, not able to meet the back of the net. However Torres has actually picked up after scoring away in the Champions and again in the Premier League, he seems to be back in form. We all hoped that would be true of Carroll. Is he expecting to let us give him more time??
Yes Torres was always going to come back and everyone at Liverpool knew he would but with Carroll, we expected more but are our expectations being misplaced?
There is still time for him to redeem himself however if he is expecting to stay in the starting XI, he really does need to pick up his game, quit the whining on the pitch, move and meet the back of the net like he use to.


Suarez is ever causing trouble up front but goals are lacking. Having hit the wood works 7 times, but not scoring as many; the eight match ban seems to have taken it's toll but unlike Carroll, Suarez has games to his name and some beautiful goals at that.
I can see Suarez doing well next year and possibly scoring 20 odd goals if he keeps going at it the way he always has and with the right support behind him and along side him, he will definitely do well.


Kenny really needs to sort out who to play, obviously without his usual XI which now includes Reina out, things could get difficult but changing the Manager really isn't the solution.
Alex Ferguson is currently topping the table, and he took 6 years to build a team to win a cup and since then he has continuously done so winning cup after cup after cup.
Kenny is looking at the long run, like every Brilliant Scottish Manager, he is looking at bringing a team that will be able to play for years not just months and to do that we may need to have see these set backs.
Hopefully the higher-ups will see the bigger picture and see if Kenny still has the ability to go as far as he once did as player and as manager.
