Wolves manager Mick McCarthy today insisted his side are over their Queens Park Rangers debacle and has vowed to attack Liverpool.

McCarthy's men go to Anfield tomorrow having lost back-to-back Premier League games, while they haven't scored in over five hours' football.

But the Wolves boss is confident his players will regain their form and banish last week's performance.

He said: "People must know by now that my life doesn't go up and down like a fiddler's elbow.

"I'm not up and down – it's not a case of 'Mick McCarthy's going to top himself' if we've lost, or 'Mick McCarthy's going to get smashed off his head and party if we win.' It just doesn't happen.

"We get back to it by doing what we were doing two weeks ago in terms of the shape of the team and passing the ball and working hard.

"We've had all the Prozone stats and we worked a damn sight harder against QPR than at Blackburn, but that was because we were chasing the ball.

"In the other games we've played well – we've kept the ball, we've passed it well, collectively won it back in the right areas, and teams didn't play around us.

"Against QPR we didn't do any of those things - but that was the only poor performance we've had in a while."
