With Daniel Sturridge set to return, Mario Balotelli at the club and former outcast Fabio Borini seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order, the 32-year-old faces a tough battle to keep himself around the first-team, but he determined to work on his fitness and get back his cutting edge to ensure that his fairytale does not become a nightmare:
“I didn’t feel as sharp as I want to feel,” he told the Liverpool Echo. “It’s just things, touches.
“That’s the main thing I want to look at going back into training.
“I want to get my match fitness up because obviously everyone knows I’m not playing every game so I have to adapt myself now.
“I think I’m going to have to do more so my fitness is up to the same level as everybody else.
“It’s not about getting used to be a Liverpool player. It’s my sharpness and my fitness which I need to get on the training pitch and start improving.
“We did have a few games at the beginning of the season, but it’s been game after game. I do work, push myself to the limit, but maybe I am going to have to go to the fitness coach tomorrow and see if I can do more.”
