For those of you who were worried about cisse goin - I love liverpool !
Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2005 3:42 pmsays he is fighting fit again now after his injury nightmare last season and is determined to be a big success for the club he loves Liverpool and repay the fantastic support of the fans.
Cisse said he wants to score goals and show that he has the talent to succeed and be a real success at Anfield.
Cisse said: "Me leg's okay, now it's about trying to score goals and finding the level I had before my injury. Physically I'm 100 per cent, but what I need is confidence.
"I love this club and I want to be at Liverpool for a very long time. I like the fans and I don't want to go anywhere and I don't think I will.
"England has not seen the best of me. I really want to show people what I can do. Because of the love the fans have given me I want to give something back to the supporters and score a lot of goals."
The French international is eager to please and eager to make a big impression at Liverpool. He is also a very caring person and recently refused a local hunt permission to ride across the grounds of his country house in Cheshire.
Cisse said: "I've always loved animals. I have a cat, a parrot and I really hate hunting, it's cruel."
Cisse has been a substitute in recent weeks but he says he is not one to complain and accepts the decision as the manager has a big squad at his disposal.
Cisse said: "I love to play. But the boss can't put 20 players on the pitch so someone has to be on the bench and at the moment it's me. I accept it. I'm not frustrated.
"It is not my position on the right, but if I have to play there for the team I'll do it. All our strikers are different. Peter [Crouch] and Nando Fernando Morientes] are good in the air, Flo likes to run with the ball and the good thing for me is I offer something unique because of my speed. The boss hasn't said why he isn't choosing me, but we do talk and have the normal relationship of a player and coach."
Cisse says he loves scoring goals and nothing beats it for him.
"From when I started playing aged six I counted all my goals, even the ones I scored in the street," said Cisse. "I had a little book at home and I'd write down every time I scored. Sometimes it was 100 per week or more, goals became a drug.
"I get the same feeling now. When you score at Anfield it's hard to explain, but it's like 'Wooah! Wow! nothing else in life. I'm not going to say scoring's like making love, but it's almost the same.
"I want to score more goals. I haven't scored enough for Liverpool but I'm confident I can because I did in the past. Right now it's just a question of time for me to understand the system and English football. I know when I start to score there will be a lot of goals."
Cisse says he is desperate to score goals to repay the fans for their kindness and support shown to him when he had his broken leg.
Cisse said: "When I broke my leg, even more than my family, the fans supported me. I received hundreds of letters. Seriously, I think they're the best fans in the world. I always wanted to play in England. For me it is the best league for the fans, the atmosphere and I think at Liverpool those things are the best of all. When Chelsea came to Anfield last year in the semi-final it was incredible."

I myself was worried that he might be sold in the up coming window like but im happy he has made this statement. He is one of our most consistent and best strikers. A lot of people thought that with Pongolle a regular fixture in the sqaud once Nando got back Cisse would slip further down the pecking order. Im sure the truth is that once Morientes gains fulls fittness he will partner Cisse at home as first choice and partner Crouch away from home as first choice. I for one are looking forward to the game in midweek. I think this will be the first time Chelsea will come up against Cisse fit and i think this will only work to our advantage.
