The former Aston Villa winger says that he would like to start for Liverpool against Cardiff in the Carling Cup final at the Wembley stadium...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 when the Reds take on Cardiff City in the final of the Carling Cup competition at the Wembley stadium in London. Liverpool made it to the final of the
Carling Cup via their two legged win over Manchester City in the semi-finals of the competition.
Downing was in Middlesbrough’s squad when the former Premier League club made it to the league cup final in 2004 but back then he was left as an unused substitute whereas at Aston Villa, he did start the final but failed to make
an impact as Manchester United won the Carling Cup. Nonetheless, Liverpool’s tie against Cardiff signals a good chance for the Merseyside giants to get their hands on some silverware as it has been a long while in the Premier League since Liverpool etched
their name on a trophy.
Downing said in his interview, “The first one I was an unused sub for Middlesbrough. I would have liked to have played but I was still involved. The second one for Villa against United - a few things didn't go our way. [Nemanja]
Vidic could have been sent off early on; they had a penalty and took the lead.”
He added, "We were a little bit unlucky on the day. It would have been nice to finish with a medal but it wasn't to be. Hopefully this time around I'll get one. You work hard to get there with the trips away to Exeter and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brighton-c38685
- they stick in your mind. They were hard games so it'd be nice to finish the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 off at Wembley."
Kenny Dalglish will hope that his team don’t take Cardiff City lightly when the time comes to face off against the Welsh club side at the Wembley stadium. As per the history of the league cup, a surprise might be on the cards when
the final takes place but currently Liverpool are the outright favourites to beat Cardiff at Wembley.
