The England coach’s comments come a day after he revealed a conversation he had with Liverpool’s £35m striker telling him to reduce his alcohol intake.
“He scored a good goal but he needs to improve,” Capello told BBC 5 live.
“He’s not the same Carroll I remember, he needs games. I hope he’ll be back to his best for Switzerland in June.”
Carroll opened his senior account with a low shot two minutes before half-time before Sunderland forward Asamoah Gyan equalised in second-half stoppage time.
“It’s great to be playing again and to have scored a goal. I’m here and ready to score goals if picked,” said Carroll.
A Euro 2012 qualifier against the Swiss is up next for Capello’s side, who successfully employed a 4-3-3 formation in this week’s qualifier victory against Wales and the draw at Wembley.
Stand-in captain Gareth Barry said the new system is has become a useful ploy for coach Capello.
“The big thing was that the change of formation has been very positive,” said the Manchester City midfielder.
“We put in a good performance against the Welsh and in the first half tonight. It’s a great plus that this is a formation that the manager can use.”
Meanwhile, Capello said he was pleased with the competitive spirit shown by both sides in the friendly.
“It was a fantastic game, I’m very happy,” he continued.
“It was not a friendly game, there were two teams on the pitch playing well, strongly, with lots of tackles. It was absolutely not a friendly game. I’m really happy with the performance.
“The players played without fear, with confidence. Ghana are a really good team. The whole performance was fantastic.”
Capello also praised Aston Villa’s Ashley Young for his display in attack.
“Young has been one of most interesting players this season,” added the Italian.
“He changed position and played more freely. His movement was really good and he was dangerous when he received the ball because technically his vision is really good.”
