Well, this is what we have been waiting for - over the last few years we have all talked about these 'Big European Nights' and what they mean to the club and this is about as big as it gets. So, 90 mins - best team goes through other goes home... Honestly this has the makings of a classic night at Anfield...
We can beat these guys, at their place the beat us 1-0 and they have no injury worries reported so expect the same team (who are smashing it in their league at the moment). But we had a poor time, were playing worse and IMO carrying a few players that night... But we need to go at them from the off and really smash it, in 2011 they dumped out Utd and they will be looking to do the same again. Establish a quick fire lead and pile the pressure on - the second we come off the gas here is the second they score and we crash out...
Regardless of the result this will be a great game, an unreal atmosphere at Anfield and one to try and enjoy for the players. However, if they put out the kind of turgid displays they have been (Stoke first half Sunderland first 70 mins) then I expect a few axes in the media and boardroom to be sharpened - and a fair few more on here! I think the players and Rogers know this so I expect an improvement.
Heart sais we will be ok, head is not so sure...
