"I think we played really well in the first half," said the Liverpool boss. "We deserved to score and we controlled the game all the time.

"In the second half we were a little bit under pressure and we couldn't score the third goal to finish the game, but in the end we did a good job and it was a good result for us.

"If Cisse continues to play as a winger and scoring goals it is fantastic for me. We need to use the players we have. To use Cisse as a right winger is an option, and an offensive option like this game it was perfect.

"We need to keep going until the end. You cannot think about if its impossible, you just have to think about winning the next game and we know it will be really difficult because Manchester United continue winning.

"But our idea is to continue winning also, and we will make sure we finish third or maybe second."
