Poulsen: 'Roy will make Reds great'

New signing Christian Poulsen believes that Roy Hodgson is the right man to bring the good times back to Anfield.

The Danish international is excited at the prospect of working with his former boss again, and sees no reason why Liverpool can't have a successful 2010-11 season.

"I think we showed last week against Arsenal that we will be one of the teams fighting for the top," said Poulsen.

"I know from working with Roy Hodgson in Copenhagen he is very good at bringing the group together and making a team with a strong mentality.

"He really takes care of everybody, the whole team - even a player who is 18th choice is made to feel important to the club.

The history of Liverpool is something special.

"I had heard about ­Anfield so many times and that's why in Denmark the club is No.1.

"Four or five years ago the Premier League was only about Manchester United, Liverpool, ­Arsenal and Chelsea, but now you have teams like ­Manchester City and ­Tottenham as well.

"That's what makes the Barclays Premier League the strongest in the world."
