ZENDEN: WE WILL BE READY FOR ARSENAL
Steve Hunter 10 November 2006
Bolo Zenden is hoping Liverpool can continue their good recent form when they make the trip to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal on Sunday and said the team are prepared to battle and work hard to get a good result.
Going into the big match the Reds are a point behind the Gunners in the Premiership and the Dutch international knows how crucial this game this will be for Liverpool.
"It will be a very important game for us on Sunday," reasoned Zenden. "We are aware where we are in the league. We know our away form hasn't been the best but lately we have stepped it up a gear and done better than we did at the beginning of the season.
"One of our aims is to get the Anfield form into the away games as well and we are working hard at it. It is one thing playing well but it is also important to get the wins under your belt.
"If you look at the Birmingham game, it wasn't the prettiest but we did keep a clean sheet and we did win. That is something we definitely have to work for.
"We had a few good results lately away from home in the Champions League so we are fairly confident we can do the job on Sunday but it will definitely be a tough game.
"We have to do better in away games but sometimes it can't always be pretty. I am sure the away results will come. It's nice to play well but if you lose at the end it is not very enjoyable."
After spending a large part of last season on the treatment table through injury Zenden knows how Momo Sissoko will be feeling as he faces three months on the sidelines and added he hopes the Mali international makes a quick recovery from his shoulder injury.
"It is a big blow losing Sissoko," admitted Zenden. "We all know how important he is to us. We hope he is back as soon as possible.
"He is a fantastic player with a lot of energy and always ready for a challenge. We will definitely miss him but we have got a big squad with quality players that can do a job.
"Last November I did my cruciate ligaments. With a big injury you need a bit of time but I am just pleased to get all the minutes under my belt and am trying to do better and am fighting for my place now." |
