“It’s nearly contagious and it gets onto the players and the fans, and I’m sure the more goals we get Anfield is going to be rocking”.
“I have not been here long enough to understand everything about the meaning that English people attach to cups”.

The striker is once again recovering more slowly than expected from an injury and has not yet returned to training after picking up what appeared to be a minor knee problem.
