Slightly off-topic, but interesting also to see Antonio played at RB...

Who'd start him against Man City this weekend, on the basis that he's fully fit?

Why on earth would you make such an assumption?

I wouldn't start him, that's asking for trouble and him getting crocked again, but I'd certainly give him at least half hour in the second half.

However, should the manager feel he's able to start, then I'll trust his judgement.

Not me. That’s even if the concept of a “fully fit” AC existed. Those days should be gone. Impact sub whilst he’s here in the hope his body might make it through 20-30 minutes.

Isn't using him as an impact sub a bit risky? Wouldn't a gentle push be safer?

Against a team that move the ball better than most others on the planet, I'm not sure that the City game is one that Carroll would prove to be anything more than a liability, given even when fit, his work rate off the ball isn't great.

He's a target man. . . I fear he would be chasing shadows against City.

I genuinely believe Perez has more to offer against City than him.

I also think that with the exception of a minor miracle, we are going to get royally served this weekend.

My fear is that he will be on a mission to prove himself and will be a red card waiting to happen.

11 men v city will be hard enough!

Me too, but I wouldn’t start him on Saturday (not saying you would, Diogenes, just answering the question above).
He’s a useful impact sub unless and until we run out of other, better options up front.

He comes in with 15 minutes to go, grabs a brace, we win 2 - 1, inspiring the Toon to offer 10 mill in January.

Let's keep him hungry. We'll play Newcastle soon, he can show his worth against his future employer.

Not a starter but if he's fit enough, bring him on after 70 minutes and see what happens. Let's hope he stays in one piece.

The same as the chances of him remaining fit for the rest of the season boss.
