Mick loves being a giant-killer

WOLVES manager Mick McCarthy admits he loves being a footballing giant-killer as his team look to topple Liverpool at Anfield for a second successive season in the Premier League today.

But McCarthy knows there will have to be a vast improvement on his team’s showing in their last league outing against QPR — a 3-0 home defeat — six days ago – especially with captain Steven Gerrard back.

McCarthy is aware Liverpool are a more potent force now than when Stephen Ward’s goal earned Wolves a shock 1-0 success on Merseyside last December, but insists he is not envious of the greater resources Kenny Dalglish has.
