Carroll is actually looking really good. He's looking like a handful. If Rodgson likes to play with a target man, he could have 2 good options in Carroll and Holt...and Crouch. 2 of them may be much maligned but if they are put in a system that plays to their strengths then I don't see why they can't do well. We aren't going to win the Euros playing like Spain so we may as well give it a go playing like old-fashioned England.
Carroll doesn't look scared any more. He looks genuinely confident, and he didn't have that look in his eyes before. I think something's changed with him.
Interesting how much better Liverpool like without Gerrard. They look balanced, keeping it simple, Chelsea have been brick but Liverpool look crisp.
