“I believe he will be okay, he will score more if we create chances for him. But if that does not happen we have to use players with different qualities to open up the game.”
Keane is set to continue at Blackburn on Saturday, but Danish defender Daniel Agger must fight for a return to the starting line-up after Sami Hyypia’s impressive performance on Monday.
Agger admitted he can do better – but reassured Reds fans he was happy on Merseyside after reports claimed Reds officials were stunned by his pay demands in contract talks.
The Denmark defender’s representatives are reportedly seeking to double the player’s wages to more than £70,000 a week.
“It’s difficult to compare to how I was before, and I know there are some things I need to improve, but I can feel myself getting better and better with every game,” said Agger,
“Maybe I am not there yet, but I will be soon.
“Of course sometimes it’s difficult but you have to keep working hard to improve yourself and that’s what I am trying to do.
