Zamora: I need to improve

Zamora is hoping to stake his claim for a place in Fabio Capello's squad for next month's upcoming friendlies with Spain and Sweden and establish himself in the squad with a place up for grabs due to Wayne Rooney's three-match suspension. Despite setting up the first goal in Fulham's 2-0 win at Wigan on Saturday, Zamora was not happy with his performance and feels he needs to do more to catch the eye of Capello. "I certainly need to play a bit better than that to be anywhere near the squad," admitted Zamora. "I did have an assist for the first goal, but I want to play better than that and I wasn't happy with my performance. "I think goalscoring is what Fabio Capello is looking for in his strikers. "You can work as hard as you like and the first season I came here, I did the role Moussa (Dembele) did today, which is sitting, screening and running around like a nutter. "You don't get any credit for that sort of work unless you get a goal. That's what any striker is judged on and I know that's what I'll be judged on."
