EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>
By Rob Stewart<\/p>\n

Former Newcastle United<\/a> manager Glenn Roeder believes that Liverpool<\/a> striker Andy Carroll<\/a> should study former Anfield hero Michael Owen<\/a>‘s goalscoring methods in order to fill the void left by Luis Suarez<\/a> on Merseyside.<\/p>\n

Roeder worked with both strikers during his reign as Newcastle boss and while he is convinced Carroll will silence the critics who have lamented his impact since his \u00a335 million (\u20ac42m) move from Tyneside, he feels the Geordie target-man can speed up the process by copying Owen.<\/p>\n

With Suarez suspended for the visit of Newcastle to Anfield on Friday night after admitting an improper conduct charge, Carroll will have a chance to justify his hefty price tag against former team-mates \u2013 and Roeder is certain that he can do so by emulating the former England striker, who is now plying his trade at Manchester United.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I was Andy I would get hold of a DVD and have a really good look at Michael Owen\u2019s game outside the penalty box and study Michael\u2019s game because there is a lot he could pick up from him,\u201d Roeder told Goal.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael plays the most simple game that you could imagine a striker could play and yet he has been ultra effective.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He hardly ever gives the ball away, he has a lovely first touch, he drops the ball off to his team-mates and then he gets into goalscoring positions. And that is it. When the chances come he invariably mops them up – it is a great template.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roeder, who saw Owen come to prominence as a member of the England coaching staff at the 1998 World Cup finals, continued: \u201cMichael never tries to do the things that he can\u2019t do. Michael plays to his strengths. He exposes his strengths and doesn\u2019t expose his weaknesses, which is what Andy should strive to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Andy needs to receive the ball, drop it off and get back into the penalty box and adopt a goalscoring position. Then it\u2019s a case of job done. He will score goals, particularly in the air and off his left foot.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he is at his best he is virtually unplayable in the air. Andy played for me as a really young player against Sol Campbell and John Terry when Newcastle were up against Portsmouth and Chelsea and neither could get near him in the air.<\/p>\n

“There are not many strikers who have got the better of Sol Campbell or John Terry in the air, so that speaks volumes about Andy\u2019s aerial prowess.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Red alert l<\/strong> Carroll will be out to help Liverpool thrive without banned Suarez<\/span><\/p>\n


Carroll moved to Liverpool last January as Fernando Torres headed to Chelsea in a \u00a350m deal and after overcoming a thigh injury, a brace of goals in a 3-0 defeat of Manchester City raised hopes he could become a darling of the Kop, but that has failed to materialise this term.<\/p>\n

Roeder, though, is adamant that he will come good under the auspices of Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish but has called for fans to be understanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst and foremost you have to remember that he has the ability to succeed at Anfield,\u201d added Roeder. \u201cWhen you do the pros and cons of him as a footballer he has enough in the pros column to make a success of his career at Liverpool.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is still only 22 years old so he is still a very young man to have that \u00a335m price-tag around with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Kenny is experienced enough and I think will be able to get Andy to respond to what he wants him to do. It might be a slower process than what everyone wants but Kenny will be very protective of him and that augurs well for Andy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roeder believes the training ground will prove to be the platform for a prosperous future for Carroll, who has lost his place in the England squad following a dip in form.
\u00a0
\u201cWhatever you say about Andy I found him very good to work with at the training ground and I don\u2019t think anyone had a problem with him at the training ground when I was at Newcastle,\u201d Roeder said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe enjoys being coached and he enjoys doing extra work and he needs to because even though \u00a335m has changed hands for Andy, at his age he couldn\u2019t be the finished article. You can not be at your best at the age they bought him. Liverpool bought him with a view to the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously Andy has had to buy into that fact he that won\u2019t be playing all the time and when he is out of the side he has to do extra work at the training ground to improve. He has the capacity to become better.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as being brilliant in the he has got unbelievable strength and power in that left foot of his. The right foot needs a lot of work on it but if you\u2019re not in the team you\u2019ve got plenty of time to work on it on the training ground and I am assuming that the coaching staff will be working on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes we over-complicate things but to me it all seems very simple to me. There is no magic pill you can take to become a better player, otherwise we would all be taking them. It will come down to how hard Andy is prepared to work. As Gary Player, the golfer said, ‘the harder I practice the luckier I get’ and there is a lot of sense in that.\u201d<\/p>\n
