Carroll's West Ham manager Slaven Bilic came up with an altogether unexpected name when discussing his striker's tremendous performance against Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.
Carroll scored a hat-trick against the Gunners in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Upton Park and one of the goals drew a rather bizarre comparison to former Manchester United playmaker Paul Scholes.
“I know that he is motivated. Especially after Saturday - he can’t wait to go back out there," Bilic said ahead of the Hammers' FA Cup quarter-final replay with United.
“OK, he scored a hat-trick and all that, but it was not just that he was in or around the box waiting for crosses.
“Take his third goal: He took a ball as a left winger, kept the ball - kept it that we could go out a little bit, because we defended - then switched sides with a diagonal ball, like Paul Scholes used to. Then he was in the box.
"So it was not only the goals.”
Paul Scholes. Paul SCHOLES. PAUL SCHOLES!
