Blues must retain their focus in the Merseyside derby

LAYING Liverpool is one of the first games I always look for when the fixtures come out and it’s finally here. It's Merseyside derby weekend.

In terms of our performances and what ‘we're up against, we've done really well in the recent meetings.

We need to show our quality in key moments though, like James Garner did with his shot from outside the box to score against Brighton, when he kept it low.

‘There were loads of opportunities like that against Aston Villa but Idrissa Gueye, Tim Iroegbunam and Merlin Roh] all let fly from distance and were way off target.

You need to show a bit more composure.

I prefer shots from outside the box to be low because goalkeepers don’t like it and can spill the ball or it can take a deflection, allowing you to get to the rebound and tap it in.
