There is no denying he is great in the air

Physicality is a huge part of the English game, there is no getting away from that, and Carroll can mix it with the best of them.

He can win the ball, act as a target man, is great when it comes to defending and attacking set pieces – he is a power house.

Being strong and physical may be looked down upon at times but how many times do headed goals win games? Plenty.
