Biscan's second chance

But all that changed when he was moved from midfield to centre back to cover for an out-of-form Sami Hyypia and injured Stephane Henchoz for several games last season.

With Henchoz picking up an ankle injury at Aston Villa the Croat has had another chance to prove himself and Gerard Houllier is happy with his performances against Spurs and Everton.

"I kept him because I have always believed he had great potential which could benefit the team," said Houllier. "I am very pleased for him that things went so well against Everton."
