Andy Carroll Opens Accounts for Liverpool

Liverpool's 35m pounds man opened accounts for Liverpool when they defeated Manchester City 3-0 at Anfield recently.

That means things may finally be looking up for the Reds as they desperately chase for the European spot, which is currently occupied by Tottenham Hotspurs.

With Luis Suarez in hot form, and Andy Carroll now with two premier league goals under his belt, Liverpool hopefully will come good and clinch the spot in Europe to salvage their season.


Carrol was clearly elated with his performance, and said "It was unbelievable. All the lads played well and obviously I got the goals I've been wanting.

I'm here to score goals, though the result is the most important thing and we got the three points.

We're just putting a team together now. Me and Luis are new, Flanno played his first game at the back - and I thought he did great. It shows what we can do for next season."

And what about ex-Kop favorite Torres? He still has not scored a goal for Chelsea until now. And there's a rumor going on that a certain billionaire owner plans to sell him at the end of the season. Poor Torres. Maybe he should have stayed put at Liverpool... (on the other hand, Torres can take comfort in the fact that another big signing Dzeko has also failed to prove his worth at City so far)

Football: Oh Where Oh Where Have all My Goals Gone... Wonders Torres


Looks like Spanish hotshot Fernando “El Nino” Torres has still been unable to score his first goal for Chelsea, since making the switch from Liverpool in January this year.

Chelsea’s most recent game was against Copenhagen in a European Champion’s League game, but the match ended up in a drab 0-0 draw (with Chelsea going through on a 2-0 aggregate).

Torres has so far played in 6 games for Chelsea, and until now has failed to break the duck, confounding critics and fans alike.

Nightmare start with Chelsea


He still has the support of his Chelsea manager though, who said "For the strikers it's important to score. In my opinion Torres has played well for the team and has done what I asked him to do on the pitch.

"The only problem is because he's a new player and he needs to know our kind of play better but I think he will score." said Ancelotti. But that's what Ancelotti said before the Copenhagen game, and Torres failed to get on the scoresheet again...

If the US$81m Torres’ goal draught continues, I wonder how long before the patience of Chelsea fans, his manager and the Russian big boss Roman Abramovich, run out.

All I can say is, Shevchenko, anyone?

Here are some better memories of Torres, in his glory days with Liverpool:
