 | | NEWS STORY | CARSON: I'M A BETTER KEEPER NOW
Jimmy Rice 02 March 2007 |  | Scott Carson believes he will return to Anfield a much better keeper than the one who left for a season-long loan at Charlton last summer. | The 21-year-old has been one of the relegation-strugglers' top performers this term ? and he hopes Rafa Benitez will like what he sees when he arrives back at the end of the season.
"The fact that Charlton have had a tough time and I have had a lot of work to do has given me the experience quicker. Making a few saves gave me the confidence early on in the season because I proved to myself I can play at this level," said the stopper.
"When I go back to Liverpool at the end of the season, which I think will happen, they will see a different person and a different player.
"I've now got the mental strength to play for a big club. I would like to think I would give Rafa Benitez a headache next season."
Carson admits he initially found life tough when he arrived on Merseyside in January 2005.
"I found it difficult when I first went to Liverpool. The lads tried to help me settle in but I found it all overwhelming.
"Being so young, you could say that I was out of my depth to begin with. I had played with world-class players at Leeds, but I wasn't training with them every day.
"I didn't know what to expect when I first went to Liverpool and all of a sudden I was training with Steven Gerrard." | | | | | .COMPETITIONS |  | | Win Carragher T-Shirt! |  | | |
