England international Peter Crouch has hinted that his future could be at Liverpool after all.

The 27-year-old was linked with a summer switch to Portsmouth earlier in the week after admitting that he was frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities at Anfield this season.

But after starting the Reds' last two games against Arsenal, the former Aston Villa and Southampton forward has had a change of heart.

He said: "To be honest it was a surprise to be playing on Tuesday. But this was a big, big game and I've obviously proved to Rafa that I can play in them.

"The manager has played me in a massive game and I've got to take confidence from that.

"At the minute, it's not about me being unhappy or whatever. I have to pull together and be part of a team that has a chance of getting to the Champions League Final.

"The week ended fantastically for me. Everyone knows I haven't started nearly enough as I would have liked.

"But I've played in the last two now and hopefully I've done enough to continue in that role."
