I'm just speechless about some of the comments......unfortunately can't watch the game where I am.
I think it's Carroll's small head that has people thinking he's weaker than he actually is.Alli was playing with Dier in front of back 4 for most of season and it worked so well it got him into England squad.
Carroll is a small lightweight playmaker not suited to that role imo.
Thats why I don't get it.
Carroll in the 3, no problem but asking him to break up play when he's 5ft 2" and 8 stone?
Not for me Clive.
What Modric comment?
Well then why are they often wrong?
Just shows he knows fuck all to be honest.Called him a five a side player and weak link at Madrid. Someone else mentioned it earlier in this thread
its all about roles. Carroll is not in there to get stuck in - that is Dier's role. Carroll is the creative outlet, to push the ball up the pitch. Carroll will be tasked with getting in front of players, and hunting in packs, on defense, and providing an outlet for Dier/Jan/TobyAlli was playing with Dier in front of back 4 for most of season and it worked so well it got him into England squad.

Did Graeme Souness just say Pochettino's job was on the line before Harry Kane started scoring last season....
*adds that to list of Sounessisms, which include Modric being a 5 a side player and the weak link at Madrid.
I'm with you. Eriksen on the right is a head-scratcher.
