Arsenal's Tomas Rosicky:
"In almost every game we have created so many chances and not taken
them. Compare that to the game on Saturday when we were very
productive. "For example, I don't feel I played a good game even
though I scored twice
"This is a very good team but we have to be smarter. We have to
avoid mistakes and take our chances."
Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt:
"We deserved more than we got on Saturday but Arsenal are one of
the better teams in the Premier League so we know it will be
tough," he said. "I hope that first defeat gives us an extra
boost.
"Players always want to win trophies. There are a few more to fight
for and the Carling Cup is one of them."
