YOU GIVE HIM SERVICE, HE GIVES YOU GOALS:

Andy Carroll scores as Liverpool edge Everton for place in FA Cup final (The National, Apr 14, 2012 )

Carroll – the club’s much-maligned £35 million record signing – glanced in a Craig Bellamy free-kick in the 87th minute to keep Liverpool on course for a domestic cup double.


It was the second time in five days that Carroll had come to Liverpool’s rescue after scoring an injury-time winner in the Premier League victory over Blackburn in midweek. [...]


“It’s the best feeling ever,” Carroll told ESPN. “I had a few chances earlier, but it was a great ball in from Craig [Bellamy] so I just had to score with that one.


“I’ve had some criticism but I’ve just kept on going. It’s a great feeling.”


Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool captain, added: “He [Carroll] doesn’t hide and he takes criticism on the chin. That’s what we bought him for, to score big goals, and he’s delivered today.”
