IF the atmosphere at Anfield on Monday night was muted to begin with - then get set for a very different one tonight.
Because I expect the Kop to be in full voice again to help Liverpool terrorise Lille.
Teams like Inter, Juventus and Chelsea have all felt the full force of the Liverpool's famous twelfth man in European competition in the past.
IT'S just as well Liverpool have got another game tonight so soon after Monday's pathetic effort at Wigan.
Because at least it means the fans don't have to dwell on it for a week or more and, hopefully, will be feeling a bit better by tomorrow if - and it's a big if - we turn up in France tonight.
In truth, the performance at Wigan ranks as possibly the worst I've seen from a Liverpool side. In fact it was so lacklustre, the players should be ashamed of it and issue an apology in the Echo to the fans.
THE Blackburn game wasn't football as we know it. It was a bit rough around the edges, with an awful amount of fouls in the game.
That's why it was pleasing to see Liverpool stand up to it. We never gave up.
You can't always play the way you want to.
It may not be pleasing on the eye at times but you have to be able to adapt and take on whoever you're up against.
TOMMY SMITH: Liverpool FC must respect Europa League if they want to end trophy drought
AS Liverpool kick off the Europa League campaign tomorrow night we can take a few lessons from recent history.
I remember heading into the FA Cup tie with Reading and there seemed to be no question as to who would progress.
A draw and a replay later and it hadn't gone according to plan though.
LIVERPOOL go into tonight's game at Arsenal feeling more confident than they have done in many a month.
The lads may not be playing scintillating, free flowing football but they are fighting like hell for every single ball now. That returning spirit gives us a real chance of getting another good result down at the Emirates tonight.
