Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish insists Fabio Capello's criticism of Andy Carroll is unfair

The Italian this week suggested Carroll needed to “be careful” to take care of himself away from football, suggesting the forward’s physique means he needs to “drink less” than other players and intimating that the intensity of his training at club level is not always as high as it is with EnglandLiverpool’s medical staff are believed to be pleased with the progress Carroll has made this season, with the striker the only player at the club to feature in all the club’s pre-season fixtures. Dalglish has long insisted the only reason the player failed to impress following his move in January is that Liverpool asked him to play before he was fully fit.
“I think it is unfair to discuss Andy,” Dalglish said. “Everyone wants to talk about it but we have said what we have had to say. What we have said is very pertinent and very honest. We know the truth.
We do not have any problem whatsoever with Andy. We are delighted to have him here and he will be a fantastic asset for us. Last year it was our fault that we played him when we should not have done. Just judge him for what he does on the pitch."
