Carroll plays at the stadium he made his name at for the first time since leaving Newcastle, but has not found his form since joining Liverpool.
“It’s not a bad thing, is it? If you weren’t nervous you’d have a bit of a problem,” Liverpool’s manager said. “In my case it was always best to be nervous rather than totally laid-back.
“I don’t think anyone can be laid-back when they go and play at the club that gave him his opportunity in football and turned him into a professional footballer. For him and José it will be an exciting time to go back.”
