Andy Carroll

“It's all about what you love doing and football is what I love doing.”

“I could never get a grip at Liverpool.”

“I believe in what I can do.”

“Luis makes it easy playing alongside him.”

“I have made some mistakes in the past but they are all behind me.”

“You can be sensible in the tackles and still be physical.”

“I can cook a little bit of everything, really.”

“You know exactly what the European referees are going to do. Off a little touch, a little scream, a little dive, they're going to send you off, give a yellow card, or a foul, you know, you've just got to be clever.”

“Suarez and Sturridge up front are completely different to me.”

“I'm a centre forward and if I put the ball in the net off my back, my shoulder, my backside, an overhead kick, whatever, it comes up on the scoresheet as 'Andy Carroll' - and for me that's all that matters.”

“I certainly don't want to be injured.”

“Everyone talks about my injuries, and I can't really say that's unfair because over the years I haven't been as fit as I've wanted to be.”

“Fans are great, aren't they?”

“I think Gary Cahill's very good. It's always tough against him. He's a great defender and I got to know him with England as well.”

“To be honest, it was really hard for me, not playing when I thought I could have made a difference.”

“The talent in England is massive, there are so many great players.”

“Suarez is a great player.”

“It's frustrating missing any game but when you are away in the summer and then you come back and you are not with the lads for another month or two months, and missing pre-season, it's really tough.”
