Liverpool FC v Manchester City

GOOD afternoon and welcome to

Anfield for this afternoons game

with Manchester City.

We go into the match on the back

of an excellent win at Chelsea lastSunday. You always need to play

well to win at Stamford Bridge

and we were delighted with the

attitude, commitment and effort

of the 14 players that took part

and all of them made a valuable

contribution to the victory.

We made a couple of changes

and the boys that came into the

team did really well and then when

we made a few changes towards

the end, the younger lads were

also excellent with their attitude

and commitment. People may

be dismissive and say that Andy

Carroll was only on the pitch for

a few minutes but, no matter, its

the attitude that you come on with

thats solely important and each

one of the players showed the

correct approach and that helpedthem get the result they did.

From the start of the season,

every single player has worked

hard and each of them has had a

run-out in the games in some way,

shape or form, whether its been a

league match or a Carling Cup tie,

so they are all playing their part.

There will always be some that

play more games than others but

the way they have gone about their

jobs has been excellent. We need

to continue that and remember

that weve got to where we have

because theyve all worked really

hard and stuck together both on

and off the pitch.

It is now over two months

since we last lost at Spurs and

we have been pleased with the

reaction since. Nobody wouldhave been happy with the result or

the performance that day but the

response to it has been very good.

Weve just got on with things and

received our rewards for the work

weve done in every game since,

so we need to continue in the

same way.

Our next test is against

Manchester City this afternoon and

we are all looking forward to the

game.

City have a fantastic array of

players and are now a real force.

They are the ones who are in the

position that everybody wants

to be in and thats top of the

Barclays Premier League. Theyve

got the wealth and everything

that anybody needs to make it a

success and are trying their best

to do that.

Every fan would love the

club that they support to be inthe same financial position as

Manchester City but thats not

going to happen so theres no

point in us complaining about

what they have got. The important

thing for us is to compete against

whoever is put up in front of us

and well try our best to do that.

Our last three home games

have all ended in draws but the

lads always enjoy playing here.

Everyone has to remember that

when we play at Anfield, the fans

are on our side. Weve also got to

remember that we brought three

or four boys in during the summer

and its a big step for them to

play at Anfield. It is bound to be

different and a bit strange for

them when they have been used

to playing here and the support

being against them rather than

for them. That support should

work in our favour so weve just

got to maintain what were doing.

Also, I think that weve created

enough chances in the matches

weve played here to have won

every one of those fixtures. Clearly

we havent done that but well

continue to work hard in training,

gain confidence from what were

doing and make sure that the

good work we have done is

rewarded properly.

We want exactly the same thingas the people who come along to

support us. We want to score as

many goals as we can and collect

as many points as we can and

thats from every match not just

our home games.

For all the talk about football,

everything has been put into

perspective by the recent death of

Brad Jones son Luca. He was ill

for a long period and sadly didnt

get better. All of our thoughts and

sympathies go to Brad and his

family at this time.

Whats happened shows there

are more important things than

football and Brad will be given all

the time he needs by the club. We

all send our condolences to the

family.

Thank you for your support,

.

Liverpool FC v Manchester City

THE win at Chelsea was a great

result, now we want to follow it up

with another victory today.

Going to Stamford Bridge is

always difficult. You dont come

away with anything unless you

perform well.

We did exactly that, particularly

in the first half. We passed the ball

sharply and pressed them all over

the park. That was obvious in the

first goal.

We felt we should have been

further ahead by half-time andknew they would enjoy some

periods of pressure in the second

half. Although they got level we still

showed enough character to go

on and win, with Pepe making abrilliant save at 1-1. That was just

as important as the winning goal.

Obviously Glens a defender.

But he has so much quality going

forward too.

Afterwards the lads dedicated

the victory to Brad Jones and his

family following the sad death of

his son Luca. Its obviously a very

tough time for Brad and all of us at

the club are here for him.AWAY FROM HOME SOME OF OUR DISPLAYS HAVEBEEN EXCELLENT. OUR ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT SO

FAR IS THAT WE HAVENT COMBINED THOSERESULTS WITH ENOUGH WINS AT ANFIELD.

We did exactly that, particularly in the first half. We passed the ball sharply and pressed them.

GOING TO STAMFORD BRIDGE IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT. YOU DONTCOME AWAY WITH ANYTHING UNLESS YOU PERFORM WELL.

The result last weekend has given

us lots of confidence. Were

now nine games unbeaten in all

competitions.Away from home some of our

displays have been excellent. Our

only disappointment so far is that

we havent combined those results

with enough wins at Anfield. We

know weve drawn too many. That

has to end if were to finish where

we want to be. I dont feel weve

played badly in some of the home

games where weve come away

with a point.

The 0-0 draw with Swansea

was probably the one occasion

where we havent performed like

we can. In the other draws we

made enough chances to win.

We just werent clinical enoughand in this league teams will take

advantage when you dont punish

them.

That certainly applies against

todays opposition. Man City are

where everybody wants to be; top

of the table. Theyve started the

season in great form.

We know well have to be at our

best if were to defeat them. A fast

start is crucial. We got that in the

corresponding fixture last season.

We really pressurised them and

got the first goal after only 13

minutes.

Defeating them 3-0 that night

showed what we are capable of. Ithink were a better side now than

we were then, and well be aiming

to defeat them again.
