http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonjo-Shelvey-c19081 believes that the Reds can still transform their poor season into a memorable one, by lifting the FA Cup.
The Merseyside team, who have experienced their worst league campaign in almost sixty years, will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the final of the FA Cup on the 5th of May.
Despite the fact that the Reds now find themselves in a mid table battle, Shelvey thinks that they can still make the current season a successful one by adding the FA Cup silverware to their Carling Cup triumph in February.
“If we are to win two cups in a season we must have been doing okay," he said in an interview.
“If we win the FA Cup it will have been a very good season. Liverpool Football Club is about winning trophies and two out of three wouldn't be bad, would it?”
The 20-year old player came to Anfield from Charlton Athletic in May, 2010 for 1.7 million pounds. Since then, he has represented the Reds in 32 professional matches and has scored just a single goal for the club, which came against Oldham Athletic in the third round of the FA Cup.
Besides that, he spent two months on-loan at Blackpool in 2011, and scored 6 goals during this period, which included a hat-trick against Leeds United. He was called back by Liverpool after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 Leiva suffered a ligament injury in December during a Carling Cup game, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
However, the juvenile midfielder who has struggled to cement his place in the squad, was optimistic about his chances of playing against Chelsea, and vowed to impress his manager with good performances against Norwich City and Fulham, before the showpiece final.
He remarked, “I would like chances in the next few league games to try and force my way into the squad for the final but it's down to the manager. I'll just keep doing everything I can in training.”
