Carroll hasn't been great, but we know he has the ability, I suspect its a combination of fitness, the partnership and some pressure from the pricetag and maybe even some pressure from scoring before Torres gets his first. I think Carroll could do with a goal, any kind of goal, much like Suarez first goal, just to alleviate any pressure.

Well fair enough if he knocked it out already.
Don't worry about refs not knowing the rules, it goes around. We had one against Everton (?) a few weeks back that should have stood but didn't. They stopped and talked about it as well. :/

Not sure why people are making out that the pen was a terrible call. It was so close that it's still hard to be certain from the replays (if you actually try and see where contact is made rather than where the Sunderland player slides from) and with the momentum carrying the players into the area.
It was probably slightly outside the box but it's an incredible hard call for the officials. I might not have said the same thing had it gone against us though
Totally agree. And watching the replays again, it does look like he catches the trailing leg when Spearing is in the box, the initial tackle looks look it may not have caught him.
Doesn't help that Suarez keeps moaning at him when he doesn't get the ball back I'd imagine. On that subject, Suarez seems to moan a lot - a little worrying...

Maybe I need my eyes tested, but on the replay it looked to me like the contact was made well outside the box, and then he was just clever about it and allowed his momentum to carry him inside the box before fully going to ground. I thought it was pretty clear, but I dunno. I'll rewatch the replays at the game's end and see if I change my mind.
I did notice that Suarez seems to be more irritable than usual today.

ROFL at Bramble. Poor challenge but another ref error.
Can't be a coincidence that Sunderland signed a player called Mensah with Bramble in the team

Looking forward to the clash of the moneybags later on (0-0). So how much are both squads worth these days?

Gonna be a red soon.

Carroll has been just, horrific.
Suarez has moaned a bit, but he's a good player, wait until Liverpool adjust to get the best out of him.

how much are they worth or how much did they pay?

Carroll wasn't that bad. Won everything in the air, linked up well with Suarez and Kuyt and had a header cleared off the line 
ROFL. Foul given against Ngog for absolutely nothing

He was that bad imho, he just looked out of his depth.
Great goal.
