Jamie Carragher Targets Early Champions League Qualification For Liverpool


Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher is looking for the Reds to seal qualification for the knock-out phase of the Champions League as soon as possible, after a 1-0 over Hungarian side Debrecen at Anfield last night.

The Reds enjoyed over 20 attempts on the opposition goal, but Dirk Kuyt's strike proved to be the only time they actually managed to find the net, and Carragher, although perhaps disappointed by the manner of his side's performance, acknowledged that it was the victory that was the important thing.

"We didn't play that well, we know that," the former England international admitted.

"We really played well on Saturday to get a good result but we had to make do with 1-0 here.

"The main thing is to qualify from the group as quickly as we can and we have made a good start."

Liverpool now move back to Premier League matters, and travel to London to face West Ham United on Saturday evening.
