Its a great article with lots of quotes from Cisse. Djibril talks about how he performed better on his tests in training then he did last year. Meaning he is even faster than he was prior to the injury.

"I did even better than last year, which just goes to show what great work we did with the doctors who helped me recover," Cisse says of the sprinting tests which confirmed him as the faster player on the club's books. "It was so important to me to do so well because after the injury that was one of the things I worried about most, getting back that acceleration. But in the tests I was the one who jumped the highest and ran the fastest. No one at Liverpool can beat me! Djibril is back!"

I love his confidence. The goal he set for himself is to score at least 20 goals in the league this season.

"I have made a lot of progress since my Auxerre days, but there's still plenty to come. I think my left foot is better now and I'm better in the air too but I've still got some way to go - I'm not yet at Thierry Henry's level. I've set myself a target. I've got to score at least 20 goals in the Premier League this season. That's achievable. I needed that first year to adjust and the team needed it too. From here on in, things are going to get better and better. I see only happiness ahead."

Confident, yet humble enough to say he is not yet at Thierry Henry's level. Nice.

Remember, Henry took a little time to become what he is after arriving from Juve, so this could bode well if Cisse's physical gifts turn into impressive results on the pitch.

There were only two strikers in the Premiership that scored 20 last season. Henry and Andy Johnson. Nobody else even came close. Hopefully Cisse can raise his game to that level, because if he does we could stay in the title race.

Cisse will definitely score some goals and the 20 mark is what i am looking for as well.
He will make a great impression on the fans because he knows his injury let us down abit and its upto him to show us his great footballing skills.
Its abit like gerrards scenario after all that him leaving mayhem he has scored every game in the cl qualifiers giving all his critics a second thought,and what cisse and gerrard will be telling us when they score''Thats the reason why we play for liverpool''
