When he was at Liverpool, he was a decent player, he changed the Cup Final against Chelsea, we were poor before he came on and suddenly we looked like we had a chance, whenever he played, he battled hard without being a dirty thug.
Unfortunately, Allardyce has turned him into Duncan Ferguson, what a dreadful style of football they play now, just lump it up there, let Carroll battle for it and hope for a knock on or a foul. It's Allardyce I despise. The worst kind of manager at this level.
