”I Dont Know Why I Pass To Anichebe” Kolo Toure

Ivory Coast International Kolo Toure has promised to learn from his bad decision which led to Victor Anichebe’s equaliser during Liverpool’s premiership visit to West Brom on Sunday.

The experienced fromer Arsenal and Manchester City defender Toure has held his hands up to the mistake which cost Reds two points, saying he has made a lot of mistakes in his life and promised to bounce back better.

“It was a terrible pass by me, you have to make the right decisions and I took a bad decision.

“I just didn’t see him (Anichebe). I should have played it to Aly (Cissokho) on the side.

“I wasn’t surprised to get the ball from Simon because that’s the way we play.

“It’s difficult to say what we have been talking about in the dressing room but the manager knows how disappointed I am. My pass put the team in a difficult situation.” He said

However, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has refused to blame Toure for the mistake. Instead, the manager commended the Ivorian bravery to collect the ball in the first place.

“I’ll never criticise players for trying to play football but Kolo probably shouldn’t have received the ball under pressure and his pass was misplaced.”

“But for me, it’s the bravest place on the field as we look to build our play from behind. That has won us many games this season.

“Kolo Toure has been brilliant since he’s been here. He’s been a real leader, an outstanding professional and, unfortunately, it was a mistake.” Rodgers said.
