It really says something about how low expectations of Carroll has sunk, when even a pretty poor first touch followed by a scrambling backpass that hits his man, is met with a round of applause and cheer by the home crowd.
It's not that he's a poor buy for £35 million, it's that he's a poor striker period. Not PL quality on the evidence of this season. In fact, Jermaine Beckford was shipped back to the Championship for offering thrice as much as Carroll. |

I reckon Carroll would still be crap regardless of who his manager is.
He looks a very frustrated and out-of-his-depth individual and things will just get tougher for him, as Torres is finding out at Chelsea. |
