Liverpool's club-record signing Andy Carroll is eager to quickly build on his short debut appearance in the 3-1 victory over Manchester United at Anfield.
The 22-year-old, who became the most expensive British player in history when he moved from Newcastle United on January transfer deadline day, ended a spell of more than two months on the sidelines with a thigh injury with a 16-minute cameo.
Kenny Dalglish, the Liverpool manager, has tried to temper expectations, insisting Carroll still has a way to go to reach full match fitness, but the striker is keen to play for his new club.
"It was great to get out there and the result made it even better," said the England international. "I was on the bench and itching to get on right from the kick-off really but I've started now and can't wait for the next game.
"When I was running back [after being called for a substitution by Dalglish] all the fans were shouting and screaming and so I got a little bit excited. I was over the moon to get on there and get back playing."
"The support was unbelievable for me. The fans have been great since I signed and even when I was warming up, they were fantastic. It was an incredible atmosphere, definitely one of the best I've ever experienced."
