Liverpool Vs Sparta Prague: Joe Cole Will Succeed At Liverpool - Dalglish
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has backed Joe Cole by insisting that the former Chelsea player will succeed at Anfield despite not making any recognizable impact so far.

However, Cole has failed to live up to his expectation with injuries and below-par performances disrupting his time at Liverpool so far.Nonetheless, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish insists that he has a plan to get the best out of Cole and believes that Cole will be a success at Anfield.
He said: "Joe knows it takes time to adjust after being out injured. It's not a tap you can turn on and off. Even hot water takes a while to come through so it's not fair to judge him right now. He is enthusiastic, talented, and we will try our best to get that out of him.
