# Lambert praises mentality

Rickie Lambert believes that Liverpool now have their winning mentality back after an impressive u-turn in form. Lambert, who scored Liverpool’s second goal in their 2-0 win at Villa Park on Saturday, is feeling confident ahead of Liverpool’s tough Capital One Cup semi-final against Chelsea on Tuesday night.

Lambert looking ahead to the tie against the current league leaders:

“*We’re getting better and better – that’s the most exciting thing. We’ve got players coming back and we’re still in all the cups. Chelsea will probably be the favourites, that’s fair to say. But I think we are in better shape going into this game than we were a couple of months ago. I think we’ve got the winning mentality back now.*“

The lifelong Liverpool supporter talks about the feeling of scoring for his beloved club, most recently against Villa:

“*You can’t beat that feeling of scoring a goal especially scoring a goal for Liverpool. Seeing the ball hit the net, it’s great. I will always remember that moment.*”

Lambert celebrated his goal in brilliant fashion. The striker ran over to the fans before passionately celebrating with them. He was booked, but he didn’t care:

“*I love those celebrations. I love watching them on telly. To do it myself with the Liverpool fans is something I will always remember. It’s definitely the best moment I’ve felt since being here. I’ve wanted to be more effective, but it just hasn’t happened. That’s my best moment so far – definitely. To have an effect like that – brilliant*.”

Lambert will be looking to have a similar impact when Liverpool meet Chelsea on Tuesday night.
