Dalglish: Cardiff Deserve Maximum Respect

February 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Kenny Dalglish on Tuesday stressed the importance of showing Cardiff City maximum respect in Sunday’s Carling Cup final if Liverpool are to avoid joining history’s list of beaten favourites.

Dalglish was in charge when Liverpool lost the 1988 FA Cup final to Wimbledon at Wembley and he does not want a repeat of that day.

The Liverpool boss told his pre-match press conference:

“Everybody that’s involved with the football club will take great satisfaction (in playing the final), but it’s not a foregone conclusion – and we should not be getting our mindset thinking it is going to be like that.

Bellamy: I won’t celebrate if I score at Wembley

February 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Craig Bellamy has been declared fit to attempt to win a first senior honour in English football in his “dream final”.

But even if the Liverpool striker fulfils his lifelong ambition of scoring at Wembley he won’t celebrate the goal, because it will be against his first football love, Cardiff City.

And even though he has yet to win an English trophy, any celebrations will be seriously curtailed.

Dalglish Happy To See Big Three Playing Together

February 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The Brighton match was the first time this season that Carroll, Gerrard and Suarez had started together and that was something that really pleased Kenny Dalglish:

“The three of them are fantastic footballers and they played really well today,” said Dalglish. “The more any team gets iconic players like they are on the pitch the better chance they have of being successful. But we have got more than three players. The fact we have done as well as we have and that was the first time the three of them have started a match tells you how well the other boys have done. We will stand and be counted as a squad and I don’t think we have done too badly this year.”

Liverpool Tear Brighton Apart

February 20, 2012 By 1 Comment

It was the sort of home display that Liverpool fans have been waiting to see all season as the reds put six past Brighton to move into the FA Cup quarter-finals.

This was a terrific Liverpool performance and it started up-front by the big man Andy Carroll. Scored one, laid on one and his presence resulted in two other Liverpool goals. It was by far Carroll’s best performance in a Liverpool shirt. And part of the reason was that Liverpool varied the balls into him. Instead of the big ball down the middle, Downing was knocking balls to the near and far post from the left, and Gerrard knocked in some good crosses also from the right. The varied attack kept the Brighton defense off-balance as they did not know where Carroll was going next.

Maxi Rodriguez Back For Brighton Match

February 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Good chance that we will see fit again Maxi Rodriguez this weekend against Brighton.

Rodriguez has not played since the fourth round victory over Manchester United almost three weeks ago due to a foot injury. But having received an international call-up from Argentina this week, Maxi is now also back in contention for Liverpool. The winger has started all but two of our cup matches this season.

Dalglish said:

“Maxi is back training. He had a kick on his foot in training but he’s fine now. He’s back in the Argentina squad which is good for him.”

Paris St Germain Sniffing Around Suarez

February 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment

After the negative press he has received in the last week or so, it is not surprising to hear teams being linked with Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

The most prominent named linked with Suarez this month has been moneybags Paris St Germain. The Daily Mail claims that the French side have targeted the Anfield forward after missing out on other big names.

The influential French newspaper L’Equipe reported that PSG have had contact with Suarez’s advisors and want the Uruguayan to spearhead their assault on the Champions League next season.

Skrtel Happy With Agger Partnership

February 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Liverpool centre-back Martin Skrtel believes the mix of his no-nonsense defending and Daniel Agger’s more cultured approach is proving an ideal match for the Reds.

In the four months since Skrtel and Agger have become Kenny Dalglish’s preferred center-half choice and their record speaks for itself.

In 15 league matches they have helped the side keep eight clean sheets, conceding a total of 11 goals – including three apiece at Manchester City and Bolton.

That defensive form has contributed to a record of letting in just 23 goals in 25 league matches, bettered only by leaders City.
