Some Real Football this week

[Lieutenant]

2-0 Liverpool

[Michel Kane]

It occurred to me last season, but watching Valencia is like watching Arsenal play.And I don't mean that in a good way.

[TF S4DK]

Why would anyone think that there could be a good way in that statement.

[Michel Kane]

Because Valencia play nice football.

[Flojo]

Unsure if Liverpool can bring the best out of Carroll & Suarez playing together.

It's going to be interesting.Our best football last season was played without Carroll when we had players interchanging positions and playing quick fluid football, this isn't Carroll's game so integrating him isn't going to be easy.When I look at the signing of Carroll I can't help but think we should have waited but with it being NESV's first window and taking into account our previous owners it would have been an extremely ballsy move to sell Torres for £50 million and wait until the summer to splash the cash.

Carrol gives you a focal point to build around.Get the clever footballers close to him and the rest will take care of it's self, going forward anyway.

Suarez looked frustrated playing with Carroll last season, guy wasnt on his wave length at all

Going forward, 'Pool did just fine without him using Kuyt & Suarez as their focal points.Not to say he won't be useful for certain games, but Carroll as the starting CF for 'Pool makes them more less fluid, more predictable.

Trust.And as forwards go, there aren't many more intelligent strikers, movement-wise better than Suarez. Guy is sheer quality.
