"We were talking in training about shooting from quite far out. Sometimes I try it and it works, and sometimes not.

"But I was in a great position and tried a shot. I have to try shooting like that more often. Some players like Stevie or Xabi like to try shots from far out and have scored some great goals.

"It can be a good idea to shoot like that, especially at Anfield because a lot of teams come to defend and it's difficult to get chances in those matches."


We have seen some great goals from Gerrard, Xabi, Riera and Agger and I think he could be right about long shots as we have the players to score some cracking goals.

if the players shot more from long range against teams that sat deep then they would have to come out more to close down the player on the ball to stop the shots - that creates more space behind them

Completely agree, and the have the strikers who can do the business in these small spaces left behind...

I was quite surprised we didn't try our luck from long range more often in the last matches...

It could look messy but at least we would look like an attacking side making plenty of chances for goals.

it would only look messy until we start taking advantage of the spaces ..... we just need to mix our game up so we aren't so predictable

This is true, I think we did well today, Rafa must have changed something at half time because we looked a bit shakey when we came back out then Keane got 2 in five mins.
