Kenny Dalglish: Andy Carroll must channel his rage for Kaka elbow by firing Liverpool past Braga
Kenny Dalglish has urged Andy Carroll to take revenge for the elbow that flattened him in Portugal by firing Liverpool into the Europa League quarter-finals. [LNB]Liverpool's ?35million striker was lucky to escape serious injury when Braga defender Kaka smashed his arm into Carroll's face during the first leg of their last-16 clash, which Braga won 1-0. [LNB] Aftermath: Carroll goes down after Kaka's challenge[LNB] [LNB]Belgian referee Serge Gumienny took no action but the incident was captured by television cameras. [LNB]Dalglish is convinced Kaka acted intentionally and is bewildered that UEFA have failed to take retrospective action against the Brazilian. [LNB] Anger management: Dalglish has told Carroll to focus his emotions[LNB]Liverpool, according to Dalglish, were 'terrible' for much of the first leg but Carroll's introduction as a 56th-minute substitute caused Braga problems and the manager is confident he will build on that performance. [LNB]'The best way for Andy to answer anything is to be on the winning side,' said Dalglish. [LNB]'That's the same for everyone. The best way to vent our anger would be to get a good result.[LNB]'Everyone knows the threat he carries and we got better after he came on but we have left ourselves a lot of room for improvement.'[LNB]Dalglish's anger at Kaka is understandable, because he knows the damage a flailing elbow can do he had his cheekbone fractured by Manchester United defender KevinMoran in January 1984. Dalglish required surgery and missed nine weeks.[LNB]Fortunately, Carroll came to no harm but that has not dulled Dalglish's sense ofinjustice and, as he prepares to give the 22-year-old his first start at Anfield tonight, he wants to see Liverpool's No 9 have the last laugh. [LNB]'I honestly didn't see the incident during the game because Andy had his back to us,' said Dalglish.[LNB]'But when I saw it on television, you could see it was a bad challenge. For us not to get a free-kick was even worse. [LNB]'Forsomething as deliberate as that, they (UEFA) must surely have some sortofretrospective retribution.'[LNB] Nani blasts reckless Carragher over tackle that could have wrecked seasonDalglish calls on Liverpool to maintain proud European tradition and overturn Braga deficitAll the latest Liverpool news, features and opinion[LNB] Explore more:People: Kenny Dalglish, Andy Carroll Places: Liverpool, Portugal
