Liverpool FC's Emiliano Insua calls for more clean sheets

30 October 2009 08:00
EMILIANO INSUA today predicted Liverpool's defenders are ready to rediscover their miserly ways - as Steven Gerrard geared up for a return to action.[LNB]Having been restricted to just 25 minutes of action in the past three weeks due to a groin problem, Gerrard is poised to slot back into the Reds' midfield at Fulham tomorrow.[LNB]This game has been the captain's target ever since he limped off during the Champions League defeat against Lyon 10 days ago and, should he pass a late fitness test, will give Liverpool a major boost.[LNB]Rafa Benitez's side got their campaign back on track with an impressive win against Manchester United last weekend and Gerrard's presence in the starting line-up at Craven Cottage will increase their chances of building on it.[LNB]But while Insua is delighted the skipper is up and running again, he knows the men behind can take some of the pressure off by improving their clean sheet tally.[LNB]The shutout against United was only Liverpool's third in the Premier League so far and the Argentine full-back is aware that statistic needs rectifying.[LNB]'We must keep more clean sheets,' said Insua, who impressed during Wednesday night's Carling Cup defeat at Arsenal. 'If we do that, we will draw and win many more games.[LNB]'This is one important thing that we must improve on. The manager has told us how we need to change that (record) and we have to start now.
