Are we going to have a problem scoring goals?

A valid question given they now face the rest of the season without Andy Carroll but on the evidence from the weekend, the answer seems to be no.

Many fans would opt for a starting pair of Sakho and Valencia over Carroll anyway and their wingers chip in with goals on occasion to boot.

The bigger question would be ‘does Carroll have a future at the club’ given he cannot make it through a season without a long spell on the sidelines.
