Liverpool to alter their playing style to accommodate Carroll

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish admits they only way to get the best out of £35m signing Andy Carroll is for the Reds to alter their tactics. The former Newcastle hit-man has been effective in the air in his three appearances for the Reds but Dalglish feels his side have been too direct with Carroll in the side and that the 22 year old is more than just a target man.

"Andy has tremendous assets which we have to learn to get the best out of and we have got assets that will help," said Dalglish.

"But he has to learn how we can get the best out of him. We have to fuse the two things together, play to his strengths but also play to ours and it will take a bit of time to get it working.

"The quicker they get gelling with each other the better it will be for everyone but I think the signs are very positive."
