Andrew Carroll determined to stay at Newcastle United despite sacking of Chris Hughton
Young English striker Andrew Carroll has vowed to stay at Newcastle United despite the sacking of their manager Chris Hughton. Carroll felt very close to the manager as he regarded him as the main influence behind his success in
the English Premier League.
The sacking of Hughton has come as a shock for every single player at Newcastle United. He was much revered at the club and had a lot of influence on the players. Therefore, Carroll was also among the players who were unhappy with
the decision of their owner Mike Ashley. However, Newcastle players did not let this get on their nerves as they won their match against Liverpool by 3 goals to 1; Carroll was also on the score-sheet.
Andrew Carroll is a very important player for Newcastle United and he is playing a significant role in their Premier League campaign. The English striker has scored a lot of important goals for his team this season: he has already
bagged 10 in only 17 matches. Apart from this, Carroll has proven himself a great team player, assisting some of the goals for his team.
There are certain traits of this youngster that make him an incredible player in the Premier League. The striker has got strength and height which make him one of the most influential target men in the league this season. Due to
his physical presence, Carroll is bound to win most of the headers against top defenders of the League. Some of the examples of his incredible performances include the goal against Arsenal, giving a victory to the team at the Emirates Stadium, and a hat-trick
against Aston Villa in the second game of the season. Apart from this, Carroll bagged the crucial goal against Chelsea, saving a point for his team in the match.
Carroll’s performances earned him a place in the English squad as well, in a friendly against France. Carroll started the match, despite injury concerns, but was substituted in the second half. However, he truly represents something
the English side have been missing for quite a long time. There have not been reliable English strikers in the past few years and Carroll is filling this vacuum at a very fast pace.
Therefore, these abilities make Carroll a great asset for his club and country. However, there are tendencies in the player that can distract him from his game. Before this season, Carroll had often displayed lack of temperament
off the field, breaking the law on certain occasions. The striker was sent home from the England U21 squad when he was caught breaking a curfew when the English squad was visiting Romania. However, Hughton deserves a lot of credit as he has helped his player
in containing his emotions off the pitch. Due to this relationship with the manager, Carroll was certainly disappointed after he was sacked for no apparent reason.
Nevertheless, Carroll has spoken to the media and assured his fans that he has no plans to leave the club. He spoke about the incident and showed his disappointment as well, but he guaranteed that it would not affect his performance
for his team. The striker had a lot of words to praise his previous manager but he also showed his commitment to Alan Pardew, the new manager at St James’ Park.
After spending a year in the lower league, Newcastle has bounced back and established itself as a strong team in the EPL. The club is going extremely well at the moment, with a lot of memorable performances at home and on the road.
It is great news for the fans that the recent incidents have not affected the performance of the players, who have shown a lot of professionalism in the last couple of weeks. If things continue to work well for the team, and Pardew is as successful as Hughton,
the club will definitely finish the season clinching one of the European spots in the league.
