Until now, Andy Carroll has not shown a satisfactory performance with Liverpool. Carroll demanded to improve performance if he still want to be at the core of the England squad.

Darren Bent injury into an opportunity for Carroll to shine. England will travel to Wales to carry out qualifying seventh on Wednesday (09/06/2011).
"He needs to rediscover the form of performance. Against Bulgaria, I choose 25 players and determine the 11 starters who think I'm in top form," Capello said in the Mirror.
"Andy did not play his best game with Liverpool, and maybe he was not in peak performance. He was also great. He needs to play the game. This is the beginning of the season."
Capello hopes to Carroll to bring England back to prevail in the international arena. "Currently, some really good players and a lot of running. In 20 minutes we had it all - control of the ball, scoring chances because we were still fresh."
"When these players, like Andy when fit and at peak performance then they will be important for the team," complete the Italian coach.
This is another warning for 22-year-old boy. Previously, Capello has revealed his dislike of the habit of Carroll, who liked drinking alcohol.
