Cardiff boss Solskjaer feels survival chances intact

Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doesn't believe their survival chances were hurt by the 6-3 thrashing against Liverpool.

Cardiff remain firmly in the relegation zone following their latest loss, and attention now switches to a key encounter at fellow strugglers West Brom next weekend.

"We will keep fighting," Solskjaer said.

"We were fantastic in the first-half. When you play against an attacking side such as them you have to test their back-line, and I think that is what we did.

"We had spaces in a few places and got some fantastic goals. Liverpool didn't come up with much in the first-half, chances-wise.

"We faced the top scorers in Europe, with the teams around us looking like having more manageable games (on Saturday), and we are not worse off than we were at the start of the day. I think that is the biggest plus that has come out of it."
