Liverpool's club record signing Andy Carroll, who had scored on his previous appearance at Anfield in the 5-1 FA Cup win over Oldham, again was on the substitutes bench for the weekend's scoreless home game against Stoke. The £35million striker came on but failed to add to his six goals in 33 appearances.
"Hopefully I can now go on a goalscoring run.
"The objective is qualifying for the Champions League and we are up there and still in with a great chance of achieving that aim.
"We've done really well against the top teams and our away form has been great but in some of the home games we've struggled to put our chances away and I think that's where we need to make sure we can start to punish teams.
"Hopefully we can start taking our chances and score more goals as a team."
He added in an interview with the Liverpool programme: "There's a great spirit among the lads.
"In the dressing room everyone is friends, that shows in training and I think you can see the spirit in games too." "The supporters have been brilliant to me ever since I came here and it was great to hit the back of the net (against Oldham)," he said.
