I don't really understand what you mean by this "scare" business. Do you mean you would have liked Carroll to stick to Pirlo? Surely dropping that deep would have rendered him useless. The only thing he can do well is be big up front, he needs to stay up there. Also, I sincerely doubt Pirlo would be quaking in his boots if that lummox was marking him. He's too slow to pressurise players far up the pitch. |
Yes, him or Rooney. Rooney is allowed more of a free roam than he did in this game. Pirlo never went too far up the pitch either, if he picked the ball up he was in the centre circle.
I heard a story by Gasgoigne once where he told a story about how Vinnie Jones essentially scare him from playing. Never doing anything bad like a tackle but intimidating him off the ball enough to change the game.
That said, we probably wouldn't have won anyway.
Hmm, pie.
