Jamie Carragher targets Liverpool FC resurgence following Merseyside derby win

Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool's Merseyside derby win can be the catalyst that will kick start their season.

The Reds have not been performing to the best of their abilities during the course of the season but the veteran defender, who played in the 2-0 win earlier this afternoon, is confident that they can build on the success despite a scrappy win at Goodison Park.

He said: "I think we just shaded it to be honest, but it was not a great game.

"It was a typical derby game, a lot of long balls, second balls and a lot of fighting but not a lot of quality.

"But a win is important. Results went for us yesterday so we realised it was an important game to move up the league.

"We’ve not performed as well as we’d have liked this season but we’re the ones who can change that, with a couple of wins hopefully we can do that but we still have a long way to go."
