It was around the time they signed Downing and I think Dalglish got that potential partnership all wrong. He had Carrol who was absolutely dominant in the air and Downing who had one of the best left feet in the country in terms of whipping crosses in, but was far from lethal when it came to finishing. So what did he do? Played Downing on the right, cutting in. The pair of them could have been deadly.
