Liverpool hero Gary McAllister feels Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson still need time to settle.

McAllister feels the pair are still wrestling with expectations at Anfield.

"I think Kenny Dalglish will be pleased with how the season has gone so far," McAllister told talkSPORT. "He's just getting his new players bedded in.

"Stewart Downing has done particularly well and, of the new singings, he's done the best.

"It's going to take time for Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson. The expectations at Liverpool will be a surprise for them.

"They're young, they've just moved away from home for the first time and there's a lot of pressure on them. They're good players though."
