Like Carroll gave the ball away a lot first half with some short passes but grew into the game and thought he done his job well and have not seen him get that far forward so often since hes been at the club. Those minutes in his legs will have done him well todayComment

Better second half, but he far too often slows play down and rarely looks to play any positive or offensive ball. I'd have Henry in there to break up the opposition and get the other midfielders playing forward balls as well as sideways and backwards ones.Comment

We Played Faurlin too far forward. He's best when he's deep with the game in front of him with time on the ball. Think Caroll would have had a better game further forward too. Barton was very effective in the middle and O'Neil is proving to be a quality signing. Niko is clearly a class player.
We have the best midfield in the division by a mile. Defence isn't too bad either.Comment

I actually thought that this was faurlin's best competitive performance since tottenham and I thought that he was more suited to playing in a more advanced position like in pre season. He seemed to gain confidence from having Kranjcar next to him."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

First half he wasn't great, misplaced passes and lost the ball on a few occasions. Second half was better, put in some good tackles and knocked the ball around nicely in midfield, as did all our midfielders."When you went to the corner and saw our fans celebrating the way they were you just wanted to be part of it" - Shaun Derry after we beat the scum 1-0Comment

This is actually a very good point and i would also panic less about Carroll costing us a goal.We Played Faurlin too far forward.

Maybe. Or maybe by playing him further forward Ale's lack of pace wouldn't be as costly as if he played further back.We Played Faurlin too far forward.
