Andy Carroll

[jorski]

He started well enough for me, got a goal in each friendly then got 3 goals in 2 games in Euro quals, then got injured for 2 months, the son of a *****. Although I am finding out now though that Kuyt next to Suarez is pretty good, just smashed 6 past Arsenal, Suarez hat-trick, Kuyt 1 aswell.

Since ive had Kuyt upfront:

Apps - 15
Goals - 6
Assists - 12

Suarez with Kuyt:

Apps - 2
Goals - 4

Ngog with Kuyt:

Apps - 10
Goals - 13
Assists - 1

i do really hate andy carroll in my fm save! i bought him in the 3nd season when newcastle was relegated from EPL with 5.5m,and he couldnt score with his feet (and head as well) no matter how i set him LOL
scored only no more than 20 goals in two and a half seasons and finally get rid of him to everton!
often when i told him he was not playing well, he didn't admit, and when i tried to ask him to do some preferred moves he said "don't think its benefical".....what a stubborn player ahaha
finally got oscar cardozo to replace him, he is MUCH BETTER!|)

and one funny thing to tell..
i bought him and steven taylor together in the same season, and when i played steven taylor as the captain, andy carroll was 'find it hard to motivate' again. Then i was thinking "wtf?! u guys were team-mates b4" (cuz i seldom read news about newcastle before) and i google-d the news about them.....

then i was like "oh **** i think i shouldn't buy them in the same team anymore"

For corners set it to Far Post and have Carroll attack Far Post while one DC attacks near post and whoever has the most strength challenges the keeper. I had him score a few hattricks on corners doing this.
