Liverpool ace Bellamy: I could've been better if I'd controlled my temper

Liverpool ace Craig Bellamy says his infamous temper has held him back.

Bellamy admits he's been seeing a sports shrink to improve his performance on the pitch.

He told the Daily Mail: "People say 'if you take the anger out of Craig Bellamy, he wouldn't be half the player'. It's bollocks. You know what, I'd be a better player. I would be actually thinking more rationally. You just have to go into computer mode where things just come naturally.

"I have had the opportunity to do the Steve Peters thing before but it was something I was more afraid of. I was doing all right.

"It's responsible for my form at the moment. It has had a huge impact. Did you see the celebration after I scored against City? I didn't go mad. I just wanted to work my socks off. And if I win, I win."
