"Not scoring for England does bother me because I think I am in the team to score goals from midfield. I've not had a lot of chances, but I'm hoping that if I keep getting picked it will change soon.
"All round, my game's not been great. You have to do your best in different positions. It's hard to get going and get used to one position, and I've never had a [full] season in the same one. I don't care as long as I have the chance to play and score some goals.
"We just haven't been good enough in the League, and when you see another team winning it, it hurts. Every time you lose a couple of games, you hear that everyone's for sale and the team are finished. But everyone will come back next season more determined than ever."
And that dive against Chelsea:
"When I ran into the box, I thought the defender had tripped me up.
"I just went into him and tried to make it look as though there was a bit of contact and the referee saw right through me - but that wasn't hard to do, was it?
"I couldn't get the ball so I had to try something
"The manager told me at half time that he had taken me off to stop me from being sent off. It was probably the right thing for him to do although you are not pleased at the time. I was a bit surprised. I hadn't played for a few weeks and to only play half an hour in your comeback game was a bit disappointing but it was my own fault.
"I hadn't really thought about the fact that I had been booked for diving. It just went out of my head because it was diving and not a tackle. I think it just slipped my mind that I had already been booked and just before I made the tackle was when I realised I had already been booked."
