Redknapp insists West Ham striker Carroll can rattle Karius

Former West Ham boss Harry Redknapp says Liverpool can be rattled thanks to under pressure goalkeeper Loris Karius.

Redknapp wrote for the London Evening Standard: “The only way – and it's usually effective with (Andy) Carroll – is to get balls into the box and have others feed off him.

"With Carroll you can't play clever football, threading passes between the lines, because that isn't what he does.

“Full-backs and wingers have to hit the diagonal high ball to the far post every time they get the opportunity so he can win it to give Dimitri Payet, Manuel Lanzini and their other skilful players a shooting chance in and around the box.

"It isn't rocket science: I did exactly the same thing with Peter Crouch feeding Rafael van der Vaart at Tottenham.

“Carroll can batter a Liverpool defence that conceded four at Bournemouth and a goalkeeper, Loris Karius, who is bound to be nervous."
