I remember. Manchester United being 3 down against Tottenham, only to score 5 unanswered goals in the second half. I’m pretty sure Dean Richards made his debut as a Spurs player in that game.

A lot of people still shit on Liverpool for this.

Carroll and Suarez were both signed on the January transfer deadline day. Suarez actually thought he was signed to line up alongside Torres. Torres was also sold on the same deadline day.

Carroll had played the first half of the season in great form, and was on track to finish with well over 20 league goals. On top of that, he didn’t want to go to Liverpool, but the club forced the move. He really didn’t want to be there, and it showed.

It’s true that he was never a 35m striker. On any other day of the year the fee would have been less. Carroll still would never have fit in. He never wanted to.

Sunderland beach ball goal vs Liverpool. Still cannot comprehend how a team of three linesmen didn’t see a 3 foot beach ball divert the football.
