"Goals are very important to me," he said.

"I want to score goals and if I'm not I don't feel I'm contributing to the team and doing much for them.It doesn't affect me badly if I don't score, but if I'm not scoring or making them, then I feel I'm not doing it.I've played in a few positions this year and not really had a long run in any one and it's felt good, but I'll come back to the same thing - if I'm scoring it makes all the difference to my game."

"If I'm not scoring goals then I feel as if I'm a waste of time for the team although logically I know I'd be unlikely to be dropped for not scoring from central midfield."
