Cisse sorry

Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse, currently on loan at Marseille, insists his show of petulance after being substituted last weekend demonstrates his burning desire to be a success at the French club this season.

The 25-year-old, who was playing only his second first-team match since breaking his leg while playing for France before the World Cup, was unhappy at being withdrawn during the second half of the 2-0 defeat to Nancy on Saturday.
