perhaps...but to me Carroll has thus far looked slow, sluggish n mising that special spark that all quality CF/Striker's hv in them...especially a 35m pound CF/Striker...

u r rt abt the balance thinggy...however in the present case, i think the balance is abit too off for my liking...oh n Rafa's time is now in the past...anyways the real test shall be agst the Big 3...i hope the back 4 shall be abit more balanced n settled by then...also look fwd to the return of Stevie G...

The same players you mentioned defended brilliantly under Rafa, cos the team was built to not concede and lose. We just need to get the balance right.
