Carver Praise For Cisse And Colo

Last updated : 01 March 2015 By Footy Mad - Editor

John Carver: "His goal ratio is fantastic - but we have got to provide him with the service.

"If we don't provide him with the service, then he won't score goals, so I need to make sure that the team provides him with service because he is valuable to us.

"This season, he has probably scored more scruffy goals than he ever has, but I am not bothered because he is actually scoring goals.

"That's why it was important to keep him here and that's why it was important to get him in the team and put him in the right area.

"We did actually show that professionalism that we didn't show against Stoke City when we conceded the late goal, so maybe the guys have learned from it.

"Let's not hide the fact that today has not been a classic, has it? It's not been a proper classic. But I'll tell you what, the thing that's pleased me is we have kept a clean sheet, we have had players who have put their bodies on the line - and I have to mention Fabricio Coloccini in particular.

"His block towards the end of the games was outstanding. That's as good as scoring a goal at the other end."
