Riise looking to Saturday

Last updated : 03 March 2005 By Al Campbell
Liverpool travel to Newcastle on Saturday and Riise says the Reds must concentrate on that game now and attempt to overhaul Everton.

"The Newcastle game is very important. If we want that fourth place then we need to win. One of the hardest games of the season is always away at Newcastle but we know what lies ahead for us and everybody is up for it because we know what it takes to bounce back. We've trained well this week and hopefully we can get a good start at Newcastle and get a good result.

"Every game for us now is going to be very big. We have some tough teams to play, including teams who are around us looking for fourth place. Now we have to show that we're a great team and that we can bounce back from defeat because we have so many important games to play. We play Newcastle and then Leverkusen so there's two great games for us to win and try to get our confidence back." said Riise.
