Thats a ridiculous statement to make after all your meant to be a liverpool fc fan so if it doesnt go the way it should for us people have to take the blame Kenny included.

I think the man himself would agree

i dont think it`s a ridiculous statement to make at all.

Surprised to see how many of us in here are more than happy to let him walk.

Sure, up until now he's not been worth the money we paid for him BUT the fella was putting in some good performances towards the back end of last season and showed glimpses of what he's capable of.

His header in the Euros was absolutely top drawer, got a feeling that letting him go at this stage in his career will one day bite us in the a'rse.

What worries me more than Andy C's lack of impact so far at LFC is our new managers assertion that he can't use him  .

Good point well made
Im not falling for this "cant trap a bag of cement" sh'it
He has one of the best touches of any centre forward in the league and hes well better than Ibrahimovich[/quote]

If he's better than Ibrahimovitch then it's a wonder he's not being chased by several top clubs like Barca, Real Madrid etc etc. The truth is that he has very poor mobility and very poor ball skills and to be honest he's not that accurate at heading either, in summary he's not a very good striker and won't be much missed by me.[/quote]

Mate Andy has one of the best touches as a striker especially for a big man. He has tremendous Power in his left foot and The direction of his headers are second to none.[/quote]




Bullsh1t bullsh1t and bullsh1t. There are far better headers of the ball, players who have accuracy and power and strikers with far far better mobility and touches.

Who is a better header of the ball ?

A better header of the ball than carroll ?

How many headed goals did Carroll even score last season for us? He fluffed  a fair few too.

Scored against Blackburn but that wasn't the discussion.

No one in our team could have scored that header against Sweden.

He is an outstanding header of the ball

He probably would have scored a lot more had he been given better service

Gerrard , Carroll and Borini in training for Roma game

Rodgers: It's tough for new arrivals

Brendan Rodgers admits it will be difficult for new signing Fabio Borini and the club's England players to feature in our remaining friendlies in North America.

Borini, Steven Gerrard, Stewart Downing, Glen Johnson, Jordan Henderson, Martin Kelly and Andy Carroll took part in their first training session of pre-season on Tuesday morning ahead of our friendly with Roma in Boston on Wednesday.

Liverpool will then face Tottenham in Baltimore on Sunday.


Asked at a press conference at Fenway Park whether Gerrard and co will feature, Rodgers replied: "As much as I'd like to put them into games straight away, you can't do that. Physically, it's not what you can do.

"The players who've been training for two and a half weeks will play a big part in these next two games and we've got to manage the other players and get them tapped back into the physical side.

"We'll increase that as the days go forward. But it's great to get them back, get to work, and we can move forward from here.

"It was great to see them last night and then on the training field this morning. The group has been brilliant these past couple of weeks in terms of their work but when you get players back of the quality of those who've been off, then it's great.

"It's going to take a bit of time for the group to be the kind of structured group we want them to be."

Rodgers was also asked about the future of Andy Carroll.

He said: "Andy is a terrific young player. I had a brief chat with all the lads and over the next couple of weeks I'll be able to speak to them with more confidence and on a one to one basis.

"There is no doubt he is a terrific talent. There has been a lot of unfair criticism aimed towards Andy.

"He is a player who can play in a number of styles and it was a wee bit unfair on him (for people) to say he couldn't fit into the way I would want to play.

"For me, your game is based on your players, the players you have. I am here to win games.

"We've got a number of very, very talented players in the group, of which Andy is one."

Our match with Roma will be the first football match to be played at Fenway, home of the Boston Red Sox baseball team owned by John Henry and Tom Werner.

The game is part of the venue's 100th anniversary celebrations.

Rodgers added: "It's fantastic. First and foremost, it's a great reward for the owners. They've invested not only money but also a lot of hard work into the club.

"For them to be able to bring their football club to their home patch here in Boston is great, and for us as sports people, to be able to play in one of the most historic and iconic sports venues in America is very special."

Loving this bit
