There Is No Plan B To Utilise Carroll's Strengths
Forums:
Bilic is having problems utilising Carroll,playing him in a system that looks no different to the style the team has been playing up to now,which relies on pace and good movement up front, it's just not happening for the player.How many more games are we going to see Bilic use him in this set up before the penny drops?He is a target man ,his primary strength lie in the air,how many balls did we see crossed into the box in today's game ?....very few..Allardyce knew how to use Carroll and he set the team up accordingly with wingers who cross balls peppering the box from all angles and long balls from the back.,the football was less entertaining but it was effective ,that is what Bilic needs to adopt as a Plan B.Thoughts?
As far as the game today ,it was a poor display,Bilic summed it up perfectly in his after match interview.Thought the Match of the Day analysis from Schmeichal and Sinclair was good ,they homed in on an obvious weakness that has manifest itself a number of games this season about the defence.....Spurs pressed high up the pitch and basically the Westham defence couldn't deal with it when they are in possession,panic sets in, a loss of possession results..This has got to be a coaching issue.
