John Terry wary of resurgent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809
Chelsea captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 is wary of the threat Liverpool pose to their Champions League spot.
The Reds splashed out the cash during the January 2011 transfer window, bringing in Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll for a combined fee of more than 55 million pounds.
Terry believes that the move is a statement of intent from Liverpool. The Chelsea captain expects a difficult test when the Reds come to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, 6 February, 2011.
The match between the two English giants will have a huge impact on the shape of the Premier League table, and although Liverpool are down in seventh place at the moment, defeating Chelsea would be a significant first step in their bid to break into the
top four.
Speaking on the upcoming encounter, Terry said, “What they have done is a massive statement for Liverpool Football Club, the way they went out and spent money on some very good players like Andy Carroll (and Luis Suarez).”
However, Liverpool were not the only high spenders during the January transfer window. Chelsea shelled out a whopping 75 million pounds for the duo of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707. The latter signing will give them a huge psychological edge in Sunday’s
encounter, as Torres’ sudden departure from Anfield left a bitter taste in the mouths of the Liverpool faithful. The Spaniard’s move has also left the Reds weak in attack.
Luis Suarez undoubtedly ranks amongst the best strikers in Europe at the moment, but he has not had enough time to gel with his new teammates. Meanwhile, it appears Kenny Dalglish’s 35-million-pound acquisition Andy Carroll will miss the encounter. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749
international is yet to recover from a muscle injury which will see him sidelined for at least two more weeks.
It gives http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 the perfect opportunity to avenge their defeat at Anfield earlier in the 2010-11 season. John Terry believes that the Blues can pull off a win.
He said, “Hopefully with the home advantage and with the way we played against Sunderland, I'm confident we can go on a nice run. As we said, don't fear us at your peril.”
Let’s see what happens when the two giants clash coming Sunday.
