Will andy carroll struggle against our defence

[Argentinemanager]

With how our defence is currently commanding , will andy carroll struggle for anything on tuesday ?

 

[FriethBlade]

Never thought about that...its frightening isn't it?

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Andy Carroll would struggle v Sheffield fc.

 

[Gavlar]

Our defending at set plays has been dire.

 

[Steelcitysenior]

If Mr Potato head uses his load, there will be more crosses than Easter Sunday.

 

[Steelcitysenior]

Should be loaf

 

[BettingBlade]

Andy Carroll would struggle v Sheffield fc.

So would our defence

Will Carroll? Is Andy his middle name?

 

[Weasel]

Until we can learn how to defend crosses into our box we will constantly lose games. Utd should be going out and bringing in a 6ft 6inch brick shit house of a centre half to cover for O'Connell. We havent played with an attacking left central defender for some time now so do the basics and let's get someone in that position that can defend for starters.

Our defending has been dire.

Sorted that for you pal.

 

[DifferentClass]

Think it's unfair letting a horse play football.

 

[100% part time blade]

I think our problem with defensive headers is not JUST due to the weakness in this area of Ampadu, Bash, Stevens, Bryan ... or whoever else is playing either side of Egan.
Across the rest of the team, there’s hardly anyone who’s going to physically battle for high balls in our box and get a head on it.
Moose? Brewster? Osborne? Baldock? Norwood? Fleck? ...
Unless McBurnie is in the starting line-up, we look incredibly vulnerable to set-pieces.
Whatever positions we strengthen in January, I hope those incoming can give us more in this area.

Agreed, and the fact we didn’t bring one in when JOC was injured is beyond belief and is costing us big time. As well as being good going forward JOC was dominant in the air and we are a nightmare defending crosses without him.

 

[Toronto Blade]

They will be diving and all over and gang raping the ref for free kicks in our half.

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

He’ll have a field day if he starts, much to powerful for us.

 

[wak1889]

Don't see him starting back to back games

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Depends on if he keeps using his arms to “alleviate” himself. You’d have thought that would be at least a strong yellow.

 

[Dnblade]

Just missed a sitter...was offside though.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

He might do, more worried about Saint-Maximin.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Andy Carroll’s mum would scare our defence at the moment.

 

[Silent Blade]

He might do, more worried about Saint-Maximin.

Allan Saint-Maximin has 'not been able to do anything for six weeks' after previously contracting COVID-19 and Steve Bruce admits it will be a 'big challenge' to get Newcastle United's talisman back.

I can think of a defence against which someone who’s recently suffered a stroke might look good, never mind Covid.

What we haven't got to do is give away stupid free kicks like McG did that led to their Bristol Rovers goal.

We've had a lack of authority when balls come into our box all season - shows how we miss JOC and once again Ramsdale has to be better - counted three issues today that he shouldn't really be making.

UTB

 

[Cruyff Turn]

Lewis Carrol would do well against our defence.

Ramsdale is a bit of a wet lettuce in our box. Ffs, it's HIS penalty box, he should be barking out constant orders and coming out and taking control of it. Instead he's like a timid mouse who flaps at things. Just look up the road, do you think Westwood just sweet talks his defenders or does he bollocks them all if necessary? What about Schmeichel at Leicester...is he a timid mouse too?

About time Ramsdale realised he is the gaffer at the back and got that swagger and confidence that goes with it.

One of Hendos biggest attributes...his confidence.

 

[Arcott]

Are we sure Carroll can play 2 games in a week? He struggles with 2 in a month.

Moore used to be the same, you could hear him from miles away shouting at them.

As for Andy Carroll, you'd stick him on whoever we play at LCB and he'll have a field day

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

He will be rubbing his thighs in anticipation of getting his head on all those crosses from freekicks and corners that will be coming his way,surely got hatrick already wriiten on the match ball.

As we always seem to do.....Make very ordinary players look like world beaters.
