Fowler itching for chance to rediscover scoring touch

ROBBIE FOWLER believes he will have to “live like a monk” to ensure he gets the long-term contract he craves at Liverpool.

And while boss Rafael Benitez insists there is no magic wand to make his strikers regain their form, Anfield fans believe he has a goalscoring magician in his ranks who can change the course of the club’s season.

With Peter Crouch out with a heel injury, it is likely that Fowler - determined to extend his initial six-month deal into a contract for life - could start his first match since returning to Anfield when the Reds take on Wigan at the JJB stadium at lunchtime today.
