Andy Carroll isn't surprised people comparing Liverpool teammate Luis Suarez with Kenny Dalglish.

For victory over West Bromwich Albion, Suarez set up the second goal for Carroll, who was quick to praise the contribution of his strike partner.

Carroll said: "He is a great player, he works hard for the team so it is nice to have him up top with me. It makes it a lot easier.

"He makes chances and can score goals himself, he can drop off and get the ball to his feet to dribble with it and slip people in.

"We are playing well together at the minute and hope it will carry on.

"People say there are similarities between Luis and the manager (Dalglish). Everyone also knows what the gaffer did back in his day.

"Luis is a great player and it is even better to have him in the team alongside me."
