Dalglish backs Carroll to make cut for Euros

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish believes striker Andy Carroll is doing all he can to make a late run into England’s European Championships squad.

The Scot is confident the 23-year-old will start next season better than he began the current one whether or not he is involved this summer for either Roy Hodgson’s squad or Great Britain’s Olympic team.

Carroll has shown a marked improvement in the last couple of months, as Dalglish himself predicted just over a year ago, and on Tuesday gave former England captain John Terry a torrid night during the 4-1 win over Chelsea.
