Carra hopes for european football

Jamie Carragher wants to play european football next season. Liverpool are currently fifth in the Premiership table and are in the Europa League spot, something that was looking impossible until Kenny Dalglish returned as manager in January. Carragher is now hoping the resurgent Reds can hold off the challenge of Tottenham and take the Europa League spot for themselves. "It's difficult to put your finger on what he's done. He's Kenny Dalglish - he's a legend as a player and a manager. His record speaks for itself - four championships. There aren't many managers who can say that," said the vice-captain. "He's had a massive impact on the club and we're just enjoying it. "We're on a good run and we've got to keep it going and put pressure on Tottenham. "I know there is a lot of talk about whether people want us to finish 5th, but for me, Liverpool is European football. "That's what the club is about, and I'm desperate for us to get it. "For me, it is another trophy to go for. I'd have loved to have been in Dublin (for this season's Europa League final) in a couple of weeks - that would have been fantastic for us and fantastic for the supporters. "If we keep winning games, we've got a good chance of qualifying, but Tottenham will probably feel the same, and I think (the Spurs game on May 15 at Anfield) will be a great game now. "The mood is good. We had a poor result at West Brom away and we had some tough games coming up. People maybe felt the season would peter out but we're on a good run now. "Hopefully we can take it into next season because however well we're doing now, fifth or sixth place is still not good enough for Liverpool."
