West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has challenged Andy Carroll to continue on from his fine performance against Liverpool on Saturday.

West Ham managed an impressive 2-0 victory over the Reds at the Boleyn Ground and striker Carroll was arguably the best player on the pitch for the Hammers, scoring a customary header and proving a constant threat for the opposing defence.

Bilic was impressed with Carroll's display and has now urged the injury-prone striker to maintain such a run of form for an extended period.

Bilic said: "He [Carroll] looks really good and fit and it's all about him now. Is he going to maintain and progress and look after himself, or is he going to go the other way?

"He has history in that and I'm not his dad, I can't demand things from him. But I'm expecting that to be fair."

However, Bilic was remaining realistic regarding Carroll's chances of forcing his way into England's Euro2016 squad.

"To talk about the Euros is wrong for him," he added.

"He's got the quality but he has to show it on a longer scale. Now he's got a chance."
