After the sending off we were in control of the game. |
As a manager you do not want to see any player hurt. But sadly this is football and I can only offer my concern and just enjoy the victory. |
As clear as glass! |
But we are confident in the Champions League and now we have Chelsea next, who have beaten us three times this season already. But we were very close to them in all three matches and could have won. We have nothing to lose, only something to win. |
Chelsea are a good team but they can be beaten, |
Crouch is now scoring one goal per game, which is fantastic. But, most importantly, he is creating chances for other rest of the team. |
For me it was a draw. |
He did a full training session and the day after he was injured. Now I hope that he will be fit again. It depends on his physical condition. We will decide whether he can play or not. |
He hasn't been signed because he loves the club. He's been signed because he's one of the best goal scorers ever to play in the Premiership and he can score goals for us right now. He's got a wealth of experience and he gives us more attacking options. |
He was unfortunate last season because he had so many injury problems, but if he can stay fit then he will be an important member of our squad this year. |
He's got high energy, always working and he's not bad with the ball. I think he can give us balance in midfield. |
He's had two good years with Valencia where he has won trophies. I know him well and he's a very good player. |
He's not going anywhere, he's staying here. |
I am a very proud man today because all managers like to arrive at the best clubs and we know Liverpool is one of the most important clubs in the world, |
I am not going to continue as Valencia coach. I want to see it as positive that the club has tried to keep me on, but after the events of this season which have undermined my morale I have decided to reconsider my future at the club. |
