Liverpool striker insists camp is relaxed

Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy has brushed off talk of a crisis at Anfield, insisting everyone is 'very relaxed'. Three successive home draws, including being held by new-boys Norwich and Swansea, have seen Kenny Dalglish's side drop off the pace at the top of the table. But the Wales striker insists there are no real issues at the club and nothing to worry about. "We have slipped up a little bit in recent weeks, and this is no disrespect to Swansea, but if we have an ambition to finish in the top four, we have to win those types of games," he told the Daily Mirror. "But we do have the players here to reach the top four and get in the Champions League again. I feel this team will get stronger and stronger as the year goes on.

Great atmosphere

"Despite the results at home, there is a great atmosphere around the place, it's very relaxed, but always with the view to getting into the Champions League next season. "I've really enjoyed being back at Liverpool, I've enjoyed working with a quality group of players. "Training is very intense, but very enjoyable, and there is a feeling we will improve. "Rafa Benitez's team was very good too and very efficient. "But I do feel this team - with Kenny's stamp on it - isn't too far off Rafa's."
