Wayne is like a dog on a lead at the minute and we can let him off on Wednesday, |
We are all ready for the second leg, |
We are getting good results against the top sides and not slipping up against the smaller ones. We are emerging as challengers for the title. There is still a big gap to reduce but, as the season goes on and we keep getting the results, our confidence will get bigger and bigger. |
We are getting increasingly good results against the top sides and emerging as challengers to Chelsea. We feel we are significantly improving in all departments. |
We came here for three points and we're disappointed to go away with one. |
We had a lot of young players. I don't really think we were 100 percent confident going into it that we could go all the way. Everything was against us - the climate, it was a long journey, maybe the age of the squad and the experience in the squad wasn't ready. |
We need to close the points gap and show we are moving in the right direction, to be right among them. If we can win a trophy it would mean everything to me to lift it as Liverpool captain. It would make me very proud. |
We need to perform again like that and I'm sure we're going to lift the cup if we do. |
We scored two good goals tonight and dominated for 70 minutes but we were all over the place for 20...Unfortunately, we let them back into it. |
We slipped up badly against Northern Ireland and this group of players wants to put a run of winning games together. We want to win this group. We are a bunch of winners and want to finish first. |
We were accused of having a mini crisis recently, but we've answered that in the best possible way and when we get into a rhythm we stay in it. |
We're going to the final, that's the most important thing. Whether it was a goal or not, I'm sure people will comment on that, but we're happy we're going to Istanbul. Chelsea put us under pressure but we defended really well. |
We're improving all the time, there's still improvement to show -- we want to win the league and we're not conceding goals which is a good base to start from. |
We've got the best blend of youth, experience and quality the club's seen in a while. We have a gang of very hungry players. Everyone wants medals. When you've got that desire in a dressing room, and when the punters in the stands and the people in the boardroom match it, then you've got a winning mixture. I look around the dressing room pre-kick-off now and you can see the will to win in people's eyes. |
We've now got the bragging rights until the next derby. Chelsea are a fantastic side. We've just got to concentrate on our own game and carry on winning. |
