HE PAID £35MILLION for the big striker, but Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish cannot understand the ‘obsession’ with Andy Carroll’s Anfield form.
The England international is yet to score in five league appearances this season.
The Reds face Wolves at home today at 3pm.
Quoted in several newspapers this morning, Dalglish said: “I don’t understand the obsession. There are other players who haven’t played either. I think people are obsessed with Andy Carroll.
“He’s learning, but I’m an old guy and I’m still learning. I don’t understand the paranoia with Andy. People talk about him like they know him. They don’t know him. They talk about his lifestyle – what lifestyle? Everybody is obsessed with Andy Carroll.
“We’ll always look after him and I’m sure he’ll look after us. We’ve spoken in the past about Andy being one for the future, not just the short term, but it’s immediate for everyone.
“Some of them that aren’t as fortunate as he is, their future might not be as long as Andy Carroll’s.”
