Carroll Concentrating On Season Ahead


By Tyne-Talk

Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll has insisted he has not be disheartened by the lack of an England call up, instead he is ploughing his efforts into making sure his club has a successful season.                                          


The 21 year old told The Chronicle;

"It's a compliment. And at the moment that's all it is. I'm not going to get distracted from my task.

I need to just work hard in training and do my stuff in games.

I don't look at anything like that, not at the league tables too much, top scorers tables or papers - and I don't watch too many games on TV.

I just solely focus on the next game. And if I score and we are winning, then I know I'm doing my job correctly.

I'm not really into watching other games, I just focus completely on Newcastle United and doing the best for our fans."

Talking ahead of the Wigan game at the weekend he added;

"I know a few of the lads like to read up on things, but I find out a few days before who we're playing and concentrate on that.

It's working very well for me at the minute, but I know I have to keep working hard to keep it up.

It's always about the next game."

Good.

Must. Beat. Wigan.

ps-I apologize for my recent inability to speak, type or sensibly make use of the English language in any way. In my defense, I am American.

I am really starting to get the feeling that the media has hyped up our Andy too far this year. We need to back him off, work on his game and get him scoring. Watching him against Stoke and even Everton its easy to see that his overall game is still behind others. Of course, he is only 21 so has two or three years to learn and develop.

this is just as big an overreaction to andy's 'slump' as any hysteria you feel you observed over this player previously. he'll be fine.

Welcome Emilia, don't be a stranger. (Sm128)

I hope Andy doesn't let the hype go to his head it's big enough already. Having said that I'll be the first to applaud him if he does the job.

I believe he needs a better goal scorer than any we have as a strike partner.
