Jonjo: LFC exists for trophies
Jonjo Shelvey believes Liverpool Football Club exists to win silverware and victory in the FA Cup final would mean 2011-12 has been a good season for the Reds.
A patchy campaign in the league has been offset by the club landing the Carling Cup - the first trophy brought back to Anfield in six years.
If Kenny Dalglish's men can secure the FA Cup as well, Shelvey believes the season can be viewed as a success.
"If we are to win two cups in a season we must have been doing okay," said the former Charlton midfielder in an exclusive interview with LFC magazine.
"If we win the FA Cup it will have been a very good season. Liverpool Football Club is about winning trophies and two out of three wouldn't be bad, would it?"
Shelvey, 20, is ambitious to be a regular starter in the Premier League and is eyeing a place in Dalglish's plans for the cup final against Chelsea.
He hopes to do enough in the next two games to prove he's worth a place in the Wembley squad on May 5.
"I would like chances in the next few league games to try and force my way into the squad for the final but it's down to the manager.
"I'll just keep doing everything I can in training and in the game time that I get to prove to him I'm worth a place."
The full Shelvey exclusive, plus an interview with Pepe Reina, is in this week's LFC magazine.
