Liverpool win sent a message — Skrtel

Martin Skrtel

Martin Skrtel believes Liverpool’s 4-0 victory over Fulham has sent out ‘a message’ to the rest of the Premier League.

That message would appear to be that the Reds are not going anywhere any time soon.

A 2-0 defeat against table-topping Arsenal last weekend cast doubt over Liverpool’s ability to compete with the very best and sustain a challenge for Premier League title glory.

They were, however, back to their best at Anfield on Saturday and Skrtel feels they have shown that they have the spirit and ability to push for top honours.

He told Sky Sports: “We wanted to send a message – we are here and we are ready to fight. We are happy with the three points today.

“We wanted to keep a high tempo. Even after the first half and it was 3-0, we wanted to play our game.”

Skrtel was among those to get in on the act against Fulham, as he nodded home a Steven Gerrard corner to put Liverpool two goals to the good.
