Carew targets more goals for Villa

14 April 2009 11:05
Villa twice came from two goals behind in a 3-3 draw against Everton at Villa Park on Sunday, a result which left them eight points behind Arsenal, who currently lie in the coveted final Champions League place.[LNB]Carew notched his 13th goal of the season in all competitions against the Toffees and he could not be happier with life at the club.[LNB]"I love it here, I feel it on the pitch," he told the Daily Mirror.[LNB]"If I didn't love it here you would see that on the pitch. I am really happy. I love the club, the fans, the staff and the group here, who are fantastic.[LNB]"I just want to continue and to do well the whole of next season - and avoid all the injuries which hindered me.[LNB]"I have scored a lot this season and if I hadn't been out for months it could have been a lot more this season. [LNB]"I lost about 20 games, so it is a pity. But I am really satisfied with all of the goals in so few games."[LNB]The Norway striker puts his impressive return this season down to the service he receives from the flanks thanks to James Milner and Ashley Young.[LNB]"We have two of the best wingers in the league," he added.[LNB]"It is a dream for a striker to have them feeding you balls and we are lucky to have them."[LNB]Despite slipping further behind the Gunners in the race for fourth spot Carew has not given up all hope of finishing above them.[LNB]"We haven't given up, even though there is a big gap," he said.[LNB]"Arsenal have tough games coming up, hopefully they won't take many points against Chelsea, Man United and Liverpool, who are all fighting for the league.[LNB]"If we are lucky they will take one point from those games and we will win all our matches. We have the potential to win all of the games which are left."[LNB]Villa have no problem scoring goals but Carew is aware that they have been guilty of leaking too many goals recently - 24 in the last 10 games.[LNB]He added: "It was a tough game against Everton and it was a game we probably should have won. We scored three goals and it should have been enough at home.[LNB]"We've conceded a few goals but we have to work on everything in our game. We score a lot of goals but maybe concede a few too many.[LNB]"But we came back from 3-1 down and had a lot of great performances through the whole team. The team was quite strong mentally."[LNB][LNB] Aston Villa 4/6, Draw 13/5, West Ham 9/2
