Andy Carroll

“I've been disappointed to be sat on the bench. But when you are left out it just makes you work harder the next day in training to get your place back.”

“It's a real honour to be selected for England.”

“I know myself and know I've had problems.”

“I like to say that if the ball comes in the box I feel I am favourite.”

“I don't love being in the gym.”

“I've learnt to settle down off the field. On it, I've learnt to concentrate more and keep working.”

“I want to get my name in the starting XI every week.”

“Some of the challenges and the way I throw my body around in the Premier League wouldn't work on an international stage.”

“When I've been injured, my head's gone, I've turned to mush.”

“I do have a daft side to me, a silly side to me, which will never ever go, and I don't want it to, you know?”

“I haven't really had a fair chance at Liverpool.”

“I don't get many pens from someone holding on to me.”

“I think when I'm on form and playing well, I can get in the starting lineup.”

“I'm actually a dad, I've grown up, and got responsibilities, so... I've got a purpose.”

“I feel when I came to Liverpool I changed my lifestyle and everything about it and settled down.”

“It is always easier when you have a big squad. You are not relying on one player.”

“I just have to keep my head down and keep working.”

“Obviously I like to score goals, so getting two shows that I've got it.”

“I just want to be on the pitch playing football. It's my job, it's my hobby, it's my life.”

“Nothing is a guarantee.”
