West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce says Andy Carroll is trying too hard to end his scoring drought.
Carroll has failed to score in 11 league games since his deadline-day loan move from Liverpool.
Allardyce said: "I think he's a little frustrated by it but that's the issue.
"I don't think frustration helps you. I think you like to come, start and get off the mark as quickly as you possibly can.
"So we have got to keep providing the service and eventually, he'll start putting it in the net, we hope.
"The more he plays with our players, the more he can start to read how the situation develops and hopefully get on the end of it."
