Liverpool star John Arne
Riise believes fear is driving on the rest of the squad to
success.
Riise feels everyone at Anfield is playing for their future with
Rafa Benitez set to embark on a massive spending spree in the
summer.
Benitez funded by new American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks
is expected to bring in several new faces and Riise admits the
threat of new arrivals is keeping everyone on their toes.
"You never know what the manager is going to do from one game to
the next - that keeps everyone on their toes," said Riise.
"But because the new owners are here too, that's going to make
everyone work hard to impress them as well.
"You never know what's going to happen and how many players will
come in during the summer.
"We always work hard at Liverpool but there are exciting times
ahead and everyone wants to be a part of that.
"The new owners came to Melwood last Sunday to watch us train and
they seem like good people.
"We're getting good feelings in Europe again but now is the time to
be professional and to continue our form in the Premiership.
Reading is a game which is also very important to us."
