Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish believes that Joe Cole could kickstart his Anfield career after grabbing a goal in the Reds’ routing of Birmingham City last weekend. The Anfield side coasted to a 5-0 win, with Cole coming off the bench to score late on. And Dalglish feels that could be crucial.
"Joe’s goal wasn’t a little contribution", said Dalglish to the club’s official site.
"It could be massive for him because he has not had as many opportunities as he would have liked as he’s been injured and suspended.
"He’s had a difficult time, but it is a great credit to him the way he has been training and working every single day. He’s not let it affect him and that’s all I can ask for – for anyone when they do get their chance to go on and do their best. He’s fantastic in training. He plays everything right and doesn’t have a problem."
Cole has largely disappointed since his move to Liverpool from Chelsea in the summer, but at 29 years old the England star still has time to turn his Anfield career around and make the kind of impact that was expected of him upon the switch.
