Carroll out for six weeks

Bad news is that Andy Carroll is out for up to six weeks with his hamstring injury — just when he was starting to look a force again. At least he'll be back for the final ten games or so.

On the plus side, Enner Valencia has started scoring again, although he's clearly not suited to playing as a lone striker. Moses and Antonio could also do shifts up front, so this is where the squad has to show its worth. And with Payet in the side we can surely overcome any handicap…
