http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 during the first two games of the European Championships, and cautioned his opponents not be misguided with his paltry goal tally
for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.
The 23-year old, who was given the famous England number 9 jersey by manager Roy Hodgson, is likely to pair up with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 upfront in Rooney’s truancy, who is currently serving suspension.
Even though Moyes admitted the striker failed to put up a consistent show for the Reds during the 2011/12 season, he highlighted the fact that the format of tournament-football is likely to suit Carroll’s game and believed that his goal drought at Anfield
will have little bearing on his form in the European Championships.
Since his 35 million pounds move from Newcastle United, the sturdy player has only managed to score 11 goals in 56 appearances for the Reds.
Moyes told the Liverpool’s official website, “Carroll scored four Premier League goals last season and might seem a throwback but some big strikers who don't fit the look of an international player have ended up being key men for their countries.”
The Scott put forward the example of the towering http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 footballer Jan Koller, pointing out that despite failing to make significant inroads in his club career, he managed to fire 55 international goals for his country-a feat achieved by only handful
of players.
He then went a step further to highlight the role played by the lanky striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 in the final.
Carroll is considered as one of the best players in the world when it comes to playing the ball in the air, and was at times unplayable in the closing stages of the previous season.
However, Moyes threw a word of caution towards his combatants not to underestimate his skill in other areas of the game, and indicated that he can punish the opposition with his thunderous left-footed strikes from time to time.
He added, “Opponents who don't know Carroll will be more worried about him in the air and might not realise that if you give him room on his left he has a fantastic shot - it's a sledgehammer, that left foot."
