Report: Moyes gives Carroll hair dryer treatment
According to an on-line Mirror report he laid into the Geordie striker, seriously reading him the riot act following a dangerous display of petulance and attacking impotency.
The manager took him off after a couple of reckless challenges which could have seen the striker red carded but it was his overall performance which allegedly had Moyes seeing red.
The Mirror reports the Scot is understood to have told Carroll in no uncertain terms in Vicarage Road’s away dressing room that his display was not up to scratch and he needed to liven up.
Though Moyes didn’t begin his reign with the result he wanted at Watford, he is understood to have made a positive impression since taking charge.
And tonight a training ground source told CandH: “This is very different to what they have become used to and they are responding to the new methods. The manager is right in there in the middle of everything on the training ground. He’s very hands on.
He is talking to them collectively and one on one whilst introducing some totally new methods. It’s not going to happen overnight but the players are enjoying the new regime.”
