PostHeaderIcon Robbie Keane Will Remain At Liverpool

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has dismissed talk of a rift with $28 million striker Robbie Keane, who has struggled to make his mark at Anfield since his arrival from Tottenham.

Robbie Keane has scored seven goals in 27 appearances this season.

Robbie Keane will remain at Liverpool because Benitez still has faith in Keane being an important member of his squad.

Rafa Benitez said: “Everyone is now important for us. We have a lot of games to play in the coming weeks, in the league, cup and Europe.

“We will need everyone. People may not always play, but two weeks later we may have an injury and then we need them.

“Everyone, including Robbie, is training well. He has experience and hopefully he will be an important player for us.

“When Fernando Torres was injured, Robbie was working hard and doing well. If he can continue to do this we will not have any doubts over his quality.

“People are talking too much about Keane. It was just one decision about one player, he wasn’t in the squad.

“He had a day off on Sunday like the rest of the players who were not involved in the game. He trained on Monday, he trained today and he will be in the squad at Wigan.

“It is nothing to do with whether he talked to me about the situation. Every player has trained very hard this week, as has Robbie, and he will be in the squad.

“Robbie is a good player, we knew that when we signed him. Maybe he is not playing at his best level, but he wants to fight for his position.

“He must be available and ready for every game. To do that he must work hard and then if we consider he can give us something, then we will use him, no problem.

PostHeaderIcon Roman Abramovich wants a new stadium

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to show his commitment to the club by to build a new stadium.

Chelsea would only be able to increase their capacity to 55,000 — 21,000 below Manchester United’s capacity at Old Trafford.

Moving to a new site would allow Chelsea to have whatever capacity they wanted.

The news that Abramovich is still ready to fund a project as expensive as a new stadium is seen as further proof that he is going nowhere.

Makes sense to not go, because if he does not have money to maintain a football club, who else has?!

Today Matchs 25.01.2009:

Cardiff City – Arsenal
Liverpool – Everton

PostHeaderIcon FA CUP:Cardiff-Arsenal

Cardiff are a decent outfit and Ninian Park is certainly an atmospheric ground. Although this is the competition we’re most likely to get silverware from this season, there’ll be some rotation of the squad with Wednesday’s league game against Everton coming up, which will be a very difficult game for Arsenal.

It’s a game we’re certainly capable of winning.

Arsene  Wenger coach from Arsenal said:

“We are not there yet and I can understand that people doubt us,” “We are more consistent now than we were at the start of the season and we have beaten all the big teams. Why should we not believe that we can come back?

“We are now four points behind Chelsea and with two minutes to go last week we were one point behind them, Manchester United as well. So why would we give up now?

“I take a distance with what people say because I believed when we weren’t winning that we would come back.

“That is why this game for me is not only a cup game but it is an alignment with a very important quality for us; showing that we put it in, in every single game we play.

“I ignore that it is a cup game. I just want to see another game where we come out and do the job.”
