Carroll claims he was never given a chance at Liverpool. Do you agree?

Liverpool’s on loan to West Ham United striker Andy Carroll believes he wasn’t given a “fair chance” to succeed at Liverpool.

The 23 year old scored just six Premier League goals in his 44 games with the club after joining Liverpool from Newcastle in January 2011 and now the Striker has hit out at Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers by claiming that he was not given a fair chance to prove himself at Anfield.

“I haven’t really had a fair chance at Liverpool. I was really told that I should move on to keep playing regular football, and obviously then Sam [Allardyce] wanted me here [West Ham United] and told me I would be playing regular games.

“So, for me it was a no-brainer coming here and to play. Obviously, I didn’t really get a chance there.

“A new manager came in and I wasn’t part of his plans. For me to play football, that was my chance to do that. That is why I am here at Upton Park.

“I think I could fit into every system. I believe in what I can do. Obviously he [Rodgers] has his beliefs and he didn’t think that.

“But for me, obviously, it was better to move on instead of waiting for my chance – which he told me might not come”.

By now we all know how Brendan Rodgers wants his strikers to work in his new Philosophy. He wants them to be Technically efficient, work tirelessly and close down players when not in possession and personally I don’t see Carroll fitting into this system.

Share us your opinion. Does Carroll have a point here? or was it a right move from Brendan Rodgers to loan him out?? Who should be bought in next window to replace him?

    What a load of crap-

    KK gave him loads of chances and he really struggled for a long time so hardly not given a chance at LIVERPOOL??
    Maybe not given a chance by BR but at the end of the day he must of seen him play the previous season and not thought much.

    Personally I feel CARROLL at Liverpool gave us an added dimension but I don’t think much of his snipes as he should of played better and scored more then he would have more of a case to be answered!!

    YNWA,

    Totally agree, he may have struggled under the King but BR never even considered him part of this club. From the second BR arrived, Andy was on the way out.

  • Haych

    he had 1 and a half seasons… what more could you ask for? this isn’t a marathon.

    he got more of a chance than maxi did under kenny, in fact he played 35 EPL games (granted some were from the bench) but still only managed to score 4 goals, Maxi played 11 EPL games (some as sub) and scored 4???? nuff said,,, bellamy played 24 EPL games and scored 6…

    REALLY ANDY! ….. really?

    His replacement should be Huntelaar but will probably be Sturridge

    Agree with Haych, BR has done his homework well, it will be a waste of time giving andy time to prove under him again knowing andy’s capability. Bravo BR, time to move forward.

    yes i agree because a player has to be given alot of chance to show what he can do with reasons: andy carrol has never adapted to liverpool’s style of playing, he came to anfield and met faces and also new varieties of players which i can’t tell you wether if he has known their style of playing, but as a good player he is, he started getting few chances. And if you can agree with me, i will tell you that liverpool doesn’t win their match anytime carrol is absent. So with these reasons i will like B. rogers to recall him back, i think that man has something to offer liverpool. UWNWA
