ANDY CARROLL found himself getting some more stick after not making the bench for England’s game in Bulgaria.

Fabio Capello spoke about how he needs to find his best form and get fitter, and some sections of the press jumped on that and turned it into big headlines.

It would have been better for Capello to keep his comments in house.

If he’s got anything to say it should be between him and the player.

But I don’t think it will do Andy any harm. Andy knows what he needs to do and it’s another kick up the backside for him.

I’m an Andy Carroll fan and he’s got a big career ahead of him.

There are a lot of snipers out there looking to criticise but he has to prove those people wrong.
