Bolo Zenden today admitted he hasn't given up hope of playing again this season.  
The Dutch star hasn't played since sustaining a knee injury in November, but he is making a quicker than expected recovery and hopes to figure again before the campaign comes to a close.
  
"I started running on the treadmill for the first time on Sunday," said Zenden.
  
"I hope I'll be able to do some running on the training ground sometime in the next week.
  
"It will only be running in straight lines at this stage, but it's a start. I still hope I'll play again this season."

Sven Goran Eriksson has hinted Steven Gerrard will be given just a 45 minute run-out for England in tomorrow's friendly with Uruguay at Anfield.  
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is keen for Gerrard to be given a rest this week as he looks to recharge his batteries after a gruelling recent schedule.
  
Eriksson is likely to name the Reds' skipper in his starting line-up for the Anfield international, but he's hoping he won't be needed for the second half.
  
"What Benitez wants to see is Gerrard fit at the end of May - who knows, Liverpool may have another Champions League final," Eriksson said.
  
"I have to listen to club managers. He said that because he is worried Steven Gerrard had too many games in one year. I hope he will play 45 minutes."
  
Gerrard understands his club manager's concerns but insists he's keen to win another cap for his country.
  
"It's not just because the game is at Anfield. Every time you get the chance to play for your country you want to play," he said.
  
"I understand Rafa being cautious and wanting to be careful with me because we've got some massive games coming up for Liverpool.
  
"But this is a big friendly on Wednesday, it's preparation for the World Cup, and I want be part of it."

Liverpool midfielder Momo Sissoko is continuing to make pleasing progress as he recovers from the horrific eye injury he sustained last week.  
Sissoko is almost certainly ruled out for the rest of the season after being accidentally kicked in the eye by Benfica's Beto at the Stadium of Light.
  
Despite initial fears over his long term well-being, the latest update paints a more positive outlook for the 21 year old who was examined by a specialist yesterday.
  
A Liverpool spokesman said: "The surgeon who examined Momo yesterday was pleased with his progress."

Steve Finnan has been ruled out of Republic of Ireland's friendly against Sweden tomorrow with a neck injury.  
The Liverpool defender has returned to Melwood to receive treatment ahead of this weekend's Premiership clash with Charlton Athletic.
  
Irish boss Steve Staunton said: "Stevie Finnan will be going back to Liverpool. He's got a little neck injury. There's no point taking a chance.
  
"Liverpool were good enough to let him come over in the first place, there are no problems."

After our weekend win, Manchester United can now feel us breathing down their neck as the runners up spot looks to be the target for the Reds in the Premiership.  


  
Though most would prefer not to be handing out the prizes just yet, I think we have to admit Chelsea look set to take the Premiership again
  
We're at the business end of the season with the busiest two months to come and it's only results that matter from here on in. While Rafa will be unhappy with just a 1-0 win given the Reds superiority, at this crucial time he, like us, will have been relieved to secure the three points. There is a time in every season where performances begin to lose their importance just as long as you get the result you need and Sunday's win was one of those days.
  
After those great performances over Arsenal and United, we had every reason to believe the Reds had got that dip in form out of their system - but not quite. The Benfica performance lacked the spark and we paid for that with a disappointing defeat. At the weekend, after a bright start, the lads again showed signs of playing through a long season. One reason why we desperately need to qualify for next year's Champions League is to avoid having to go through the qualifying stages again.
  
I sensed the Reds looked jaded against Tottenham back in mid-January but felt they looked to have come through it and were fresher by the time Arsenal came to Anfield. Rafa, I'm sure, will have not wanted to mention the tiredness factor but he's briefly broken his silence - and he's aware the Reds would benefit from a quieter week.
  
Since the weekend, the spotlight has fallen on Stevie Gerrard in particular whose value to us is unquestionable. He desperately wants to represent England in every possible game and as he looks set to play, us Liverpool fans will just have to keep our fingers crossed he comes out of it okay.
  
Despite fears for his fitness, Stevie still put in an eye-catching performance on Sunday and was, for me,still the most influential player in a game we started well in but failed to prove our dominance with a more convincing scoreline. Man City remain an enigmatic team, you really don't know what to expect from them. Whenever I see them on TV, they appear decent enough but they rarely impress me when I'm watching them live, Sunday was one of those days. Unconvincing at the back and without Andy Cole up front there was a lack a real goal threat but somehow they still managed to cause us moments of worry despite going down to 10 men.
  
Getting the breakthrough with that well-taken Harry Kewell goal should have provided the springboard to a comfortable win yet the Reds remain haunted by their inability to score enough goals. Despite all his good link-up play and hard work, Fernando Morientes will be judged on goals scored and there can't be any other reason he hasn't scored more goals other than suffering a lack of confidence. In recent weeks he's had chances he would have at one time taken without thinking but at the moment, maybe through a moment of hesitation on his part or a telling save, he looks a shadow of his reputation. At this time he needs support and Rafa is trying to give him that and hopefully the fans will also give him that backing. The fact remained though that we had the slenderest of leads and the anxiety around the ground was obvious as another Birmingham-style ending loomed ominous.
  
After the game, one radio commentator asked me if I agreed the Joey
Barton sending off was harsh. I was staggered. He should have been sent off for the challenge on Daniel Agger. How he had the cheek to protest his guilt after the second assault on Sami Hyypia - which could have easily broken his leg - was mystifying.
  
Incredibly, Barton was the 11th man to be sent off against the Reds this season and though you'll often hear how difficult it is to play against sides down to 10 men, it shouldn't be and this term Liverpool have made it look more difficult that it ought to be.
  
Going back to the Benfica game, despite losing in Lisbon on Tuesday night, the injury to Momo Sissoko was a major blow and obviously the seriousness of the injury has concerned every Liverpool fan. I was commentating on the game and at the time of the collision, it was difficult to know how serious it was at first because there wasn't any obvious cut. It didn't take long though for us all to realise how serious it was as Momo left the field virtually motionless. You rarely see serious eye injuries thankfully in football, which is perhaps surprising given the fact that players have to blindly put their head into a lot of dangerous situations. In this case Momo could hardly have expected Beto to go in so high with his studs flashing as the Liverpool man pushed the Reds forward.
  
The following day, reading reports on his condition reminded me of when I suffered an eye injury while playing in Belgium - though for my efforts I got the bonus of scoring the winning goal for SK Beveren in a European fixture with French club Lille. With the score 0-0 when the ball was played into the Lille goalmouth, I didn't have time to consider my own safety as I just threw my head in for the ball while at the same time receiving the boot of a defender right into my face for good measure.
  
The next thing I recall was being stretchered off and rushed to hospital. I think head injuries really do get the medics worrying and from experience, you can sense the concern. There is thoroughness about the treatment of head injuries. My injury left me no obvious long-term sight problems though I needed stitches in a particularly awkward and sensitive part of my eye. I know my family were very worried and until I made a full recovery the club made sureI had the best treatment possible.
  
Liverpool will be exactly the same with their young midfield star and though early reports were not great, I'm hopeful with everyone pulling for Momo, he'll make a full recovery and back sooner than earlier fears.
  
With Charlton on the horizon at the weekend and the second leg with Benfica to follow, the squad needs to be at it's strongest and keeping everybody in contention for places between now and up to the end of the season will be crucial if we are to hit our targets.

Liverpoolfc.tv catch up with Peter Crouch to discuss life at Anfield on and off the pitch, those rumours about him becoming a nightclub DJ, his aspirations for the remainder of the season and much more.  


Peter, you've been at the club seven months now, is the move from Southampton living up to all your expectations?
  
Before you join a club I think there's always a lot of thoughts going through your mind about what it's going to be like but I can honestly say everything about this place has lived up to expectations. In fact, I'd say it's even bigger and better than I originally thought. I know Jamie Redknapp well from my time at Southampton and prior to me signing he told me what to expect. He spoke glowingly about the place and didn't have a bad word to say. He told me I was making the right choice in joining Liverpool and it has proved to be the case. When I was an outsider looking in, Liverpool, to me, was quite simply an amazing club. Now that I am on the inside I've realised it's even more than that.
  
You seem to have settled in really well, what do you think has made the transition run so smoothly?
  
It's true; I've found it really easy to be honest. Everyone has been so friendly, here at the club. Obviously my team mates and the manager have played a big role in helping me settle but even people outside the club have been great. I feel totally at home at this club and in this city.
  
With respect to your former clubs, how have you coped with the added pressure that comes with playing for a club of Liverpool's stature?
  
Naturally, there is more pressure at a club the size of this compared to the likes of Southampton. Everyone takes more of an interest in you and everything you do is scrutinized in detail. I suppose this does take a bit of getting used to at first but it hasn't been a major problem for me. Pressure comes with the territory of playing for a club like Liverpool. As a footballer this where you want to be – playing in front of big crowds every week andregularly challenging for trophies. Having sampled life at the opposite end of the scale I know for sure which is the nicer of the two!
  
The Liverpool fans have certainly taken to you. During your well-documented barren spell earlier in the season they remained right behind you and have not wavered in their support since, how much does this mean to you?
  
I've said before how good they have been with me and their support back then was really appreciated, they were absolutely superb. It's great when you have the backing of your own fans. Even the people I've bumped into around the city on a non match-day have been top-class. I think everyone around here knows their football.
  



You mentioned how your team-mates have helped you settle but which ones have made you feel most welcome?
  
Before I came here I knew Steve Finnan pretty well and he’s a good lad so at first I was hanging about with him a lot. Then, obviously, there are the English lads who I knew from the international squad like Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard. But I've got to know all the boys really well since, including the foreign lads, there isn't anyone that I don't get on well with and I think it shows on the pitch. We all play for each other.
  
Do the players socialise much away from Melwood?
  
Yes, whenever there's no game we try to organise something. Being the captain, Stevie is usually the one who takes responsibility. It's difficult sometimes though because we don't get that much free time, especially recently when we've been playing two games a week. We did manage to go Go-Karting a few weeks back though and that was a laugh.
  
There was an article in the local newspaper recently about a night out you and a few of the lads enjoyed at Garlands nightclub in town, can you shed any more light on this?
  
[Laughs] We hadn't been out together for a while so after the FA Cup tie at Luton we arranged a night out and yes we did end up in Garlands. However, the story that was printed in the papers about us betting each other to get up and start rapping in the DJ box was a load of rubbish to be honest. I had my dad on the phone a couple of days later saying he'd read the story but it was nothing like that. I suppose it sounded good in the paper though! We had a good night though and it was the ideal way to wind down after such an amazing match as the Luton one.
  
So you have no desire to pursue a part-time career on the wheels of steel?
  
[Laughs] No, no! I'm sticking to the football. Honest!
  
How important an emphasis do you place on team bonding sessions?
I think it's vitally important that you get out with the lads every once in a while. We probably don't do it enough to be honest but when we do everyone seems to enjoy themselves and there's no doubt it helps foster a greater team spirit. Travelling and playing together so much means you have to get on so team bonding sessions are essential.
  
Is the social scene at Liverpool much different to what you've experienced at other clubs?
  
What I've noticed is that there are a lot more different cultures at Liverpool and I think that makes things a bit more interesting. Sometimes it can also make it a bit more difficult for everyone to agree on what we should do but we'll always reach a compromise.

銀~龍

How else do you wind down away from football?
  
Just the usual sort of stuff really, nothing of great interest. I like to go around town a lot, usually with Steve Finnan. We'll usually look in a few shops and go for a bite to eat. As I've said though, with such a hectic schedule it's only occasionally we get to do this and most of the time is spent just resting up for the next game.
  
Do you think that since joining Liverpool you have become more of a prominent public figure and is this something you are comfortable with?
  
I'd have to say so yes. But saying that you can't miss me can you? I am definitely recognisable. No-one could miss me [laughs]! Seriously though, I think that when you join a club like Liverpool you have to be ready for the recognition that comes with it. Of course you are going to be under the spotlight a lot more. People do take a greater interest in you and it's something you just have to accept. It's part of the territory and not a problem.
  
You're currently living in Macclesfield but do you have any plans to move to Liverpool?
  
Yes, I'm looking around for a place at the moment. I'm renting in Cheshire at the minute but I don't want to rush into anything. I am looking to be here for a long, long time and so I want to ensure I make the right choice.
  
Unlike some players who join this club you have never claimed to be a Liverpool supporter but there is some confusion as to what club you followed as a boy. Can you clear this up?
  
My dad was a massive Chelsea fan and I used to go with him to Stamford Bridge quite regularly but my mates were all QPR fans and so I used to also go to some games at Loftus Road with them. I never really classed myself as a fan of either but since playing for QPR I'd say my allegiance is more towards them. They are the team whose results I look out for. I don't care for Chelsea anymore; there is no allegiance there whatsoever. In fact, seeing as they are our rivals now, I hope they lose every game!
  
Have you always been a striker and who would you say were your boyhood idols?
  
Yes, I've always played up front. When my dad took me to Chelsea I think Kerry Dixon was probably the one going forward and scoring all the goals so I'd say he was a hero of mine back then. There was also Roy Wegerle at QPR; he was a fantastic player in his day.
  
What current strikers do you most admire?
  
There are a lot of top class current strikers but I think Henry is top class, he's been doing it for years, and obviously Van Nistelrooy is in a similar vein. But as a joy to watch I think Ronaldinho. Three of them together in the same team would be joy to watch.
  
What about Robbie Fowler, Liverpool's newest striker, how surprising was it to see him back at Anfield?
  
It was a big surprise. We, the players, hadn't heard anything about it. Then all of a sudden it was announced that he'd signed. It came completely out of the blue. Robbie is a top class player and someone I have admired for a long time. He's scored some amazing goals throughout his career and is a legend in these parts. I am really pleased he joined and hopefully I can learn from him. It's a privilege to be playing in the same team alongside him.
  
How would you say he's settled back in?
  
It's like he's never been away. Of course, I wasn't here during his first spell with the club but he's knuckled down well and has really been working hard.
  



  
Liverpool one Manchester United nil in the FA Cup – are you aware of how much pleasure your winning goal in this game has given the fans?
  
Liverpool against Man United is probably the biggest fixture in English football and so to get the winner was certainly something special, especially after the way our hearts were broken against them in the last minute at Old Trafford. I think beating them in the FA Cup makes up for that. It was a deserved victory; we competed with them, played at a high tempo and probably created the better chances. It was an enjoyable win and that fact it meant so much to the fans makes it even more special.
  
Despite that goal is there still a concern among the strikers about the current lack of goals?
  
A striker's main job is to score goals and, obviously, we are all want to be hitting the back of the net on a regular basis. But as long as we are scoring goals as a team then there isn't much of a problem. Obviously, Robbie’s come in now and competition for places is more intense. Because of his signing, all the strikers will have to play well and start scoring to stay in the team.
  
During a barren run like this, do Rafa and his coaching staff put on any specialised training sessions for the strikers?
  
Not really. Occasionally we may do something different but the boss normally prefers us to work together as a team. I often stay behind though to work on my finishing, as do some of the other lads.
  
Your goal against United apart, which other strike has given you most satisfaction this season?
  
Obviously the first one against Wigan was very, very special. I also enjoyed the one against West Brom but I don't think you can get much better than scoring in a Merseyside Derby. I remember before the game Steven Gerrard said to me 'if you score today it will count as double for the fans'. He was right, it was an amazing feeling to open the scoring for us that night and set us up for the win.
  
Describe what would be your dream goal and against which opposition you'd score it against?
  
I scored quiet a nice one in Japan so I'd go for something like that against maybe Everton in the FA Cup Final, last minute winner. Don't think you could get much better than that!
  
Do you think that working with Rafa Benitez has improved you as a player?
Without a doubt. When you are at a big club you have to adapt to how the team plays and my game has certainly come on as a result of playing in this team. There are so many great players at the club and they've all helped improve my ability to play different roles.
  
We've heard a lot about Pako Ayesteran's tough training regime, is it as bad as it sounds?
  
[Laughs] He certainly likes to work the players, that's for sure. There are a lot of long sessions but you don't get anywhere without working hard and at the end of the day it's for the best.
  
There are a lot of important games coming up in the Premiership, F.A Cup and Champions League, is this what you joined Liverpool for?
  
Definitely. Last year with Southampton I was playing in a team that were struggling at the foot of the table and it was a very difficult situation. Now I'm looking forward to games against Benfica in the Champions League, Birmingham in the quarter-final of the FA Cup and big fixtures every week in the Premiership. So yes, this is why players join Liverpool and I'm revelling in it.
  
And just what would it mean to you to finish your first season here at Liverpool with a trophy?
  
Obviously when I came to the club I expected us to be challenging for honours and it's great that we are doing so. To still be involved on three fronts is a great achievement and an exciting time for everyone involved. It would mean a great deal to me if we could win a trophy. The Premiership is probably now out of our reach but either the FA Cup or Champions League would make a nice consolation prize!

Steven Gerrard today insisted he's willing to put in a twelve month season if it means helping England into the World Cup final.  
The Liverpool midfielder will play the first half of tonight's international friendly with Uruguay at Anfield but will be substituted at the break to ensure he stays as fresh as possible for the Reds' forthcoming battles in the Premiership and Europe.
  
Rafael Benitez had urged Sven Goran Eriksson not to use Gerrard for the full 90 minutes and the plea has been taken on board by the England coach.
  
Gerrard hasn't had an extended break since Liverpool's season started back on July 13, but he'll be more than happy to see his campaign last a full calendar year if it ends in glory in Germany.
  
He said: "I want to play. I want to play in every game. I think during my career I've missed enough football and enough matches so I want to play in as many games as I can.
  
"I can understand where Rafael is coming from. We've got a massive game against Charlton at the weekend and an even bigger game against Benfica in midweek.
  
"I can understand him playing a few mind games with Sven and not wanting me to play me for 90 minutes on Wednesday. But I don't think Sven is going to play the Champions League players for the full 90 minutes anyway.
  
"It is a daunting schedule. Playing football for 12 months is a long time.
  
"But I won't have any complaints if I am playing in the World Cup final! To be honest I feel really fresh.
  
"I know I've played a lot of games but I've looked at how many games I've played compared to the Chelsea and Manchester United players and it's not that much of a difference.
  
"I am in good condition. I look after myself and I'm ready for the games ahead. I don't want to rest, I don't feel tired and I only think about tiredness and burn-out when people ask me about it."
