"Michael had two chances today, and when you play away from home you don't get that many chances normally," said Houllier.

"The goals will come for Michael. I have every faith in him. Michael is very strong-minded and I don't think this run is affecting him.

"In terms of fitness he is there, but he does need a goal. He will score more than 20 goals this season, don't worry."
