RED STRIKE PAIR TALK TOUGH

Bellamy has never seen a passer of the ball better than Xabi |
Robbie Fowler and Craig Bellamy have both been speaking out ahead of Liverpool's next pre-season game against Crewe.
Craig Bellamy is still enjoying playing the game with his new team-mates:
"Steven Gerrard is one of the best midfielders in the world and as for Xabi Alonso, I've still to see a better passer," he said.
"He's an incredible player, he seems to have time on the ball and is never harassed.
"Momo Sissoko was a player who I thought was awesome when I played against him last year.
"They can do a hell of a lot for me but it's about what I do as well.
"I've got to use my pace and intelligence to help them and they can be a massive help for me."
Meanwhile Robbie Fowler has been insisting that he is far from over the hill, and can turn on the old Fowler magic for Liverpool in the coming season:
"I'm not as old as some people seem to think I am and, hopefully, I've got a few more years left in me playing at the top level," he said.
"I want to be at Liverpool for as long as I can and if that means performing as well as I did towards the end of last season to get a new contract then so be it.
"I'm happy being back at Liverpool and if the manager plays me, he plays me. If he doesn't play me, I'll support whoever plays. But obviously it goes without saying I want to play.
"I've kept myself in good shape. I'm not going to sit here and say I'm the ultimate professional and that I've been working 24/7 in the summer. But I've done a bit and pre-season is about getting fit as well. I'm still continuing to do that so hopefully by the start of the season I'll be firing."
"Obviously Chelsea have got some fantastic players and nobody is kidding anyone that it's going to be a hard job to win the league," he added.
"But we've not got a bad squad ourselves and we'll wait and see what happens.
"If we put a run together like we did at the end of last season then anything can happen.
"I'm not going to say we're confident of doing this and that. We'll go about our business quietly but confidently."
