LIVERPOOL legend Sami Hyppia has taken a pot-shot at Andy Carroll by
declaring: I’d LOVE to play against him!
Misfit Carroll has failed to fire since his £35million from Newcastle.
The striker has hit the net just nine times in 47 appearance and is being
touted around by new Reds boss Brendan Rodgers.
And former Liverpool defender Hyppia said: “I can’t say that I am a fan of
Andy Carroll.
“If I had to play against him? Well, I would rather that to playing against
Luis Suarez, for sure.
“For the type of player he is, that would suit me better than a player like
Suarez.”
LEVERKUSEN boss and Anfield icon Sami Hyypia has taken a pot-shot at Reds misfit Andy Carroll
Hyppia made 464 appearances for Liverpool and is guaranteed a warm welcome
when he brings his Bayer Leverkusen side to Anfield tomorrow.
And the Finn reckons there is still some talent in the Reds’ ranks.
He added: “Steven Gerrard has been a top player for years now and he is
getting a bit older and wiser.
“Daniel Agger is a very, very good centre-half. Hopefully he can stay fit and
play the whole season without injury. He can then show how good a player he
really is.
“Suarez is a very good player. I think I would hate to play against him.”
