Peter Crouch has admitted that he needs to start scoring more goals for Stoke City.

The 32-year-old, who has netted six times in the Premier League this season, has not scored for the Potters since January.

The striker told the club's official website: "From a personal point of view, I should be scoring more goals, I know that, but we also know that as a team we need to be scoring more goals.

"We are going through a tough spell at the moment, whereby chances aren't really being created thick and fast, so it isn't easy.

"I certainly have confidence in my own ability, and I'm sure it won't be long until things are back on the right track again."

Stoke face Everton at Goodison Park next Saturday.
