West Ham striker Carroll hails Allardyce's 'pass and move' style

Andy Carroll is enjoying the style of football at West Ham United.

Carroll's all-round skills mean he is as comfortable receiving a pass to feet as he is challenging for a cross with his head.

"Everyone talks about Big Sam's style being 'just launching it up' but you can see that it's not like that," Carroll told West Ham TV. "We pass it into feet and pass it around and I have the ball at my feet enough to show what I'm all about.

"I obviously have Kev around to help us with a couple of one-twos and holding the ball up so I think that's what we're all about - it's not just about throwing the ball up and getting around what I am going to do.

"We're passing and moving and I think we're playing great at the minute."
