I think that Liverpool have a very good chance of winning at Debrecen. Even without Fernando Torres and Ryan Babel, the impact of a fit Steven Gerrard in the side will be massive. He always has the ability to spur on players around him and bring out the best in...More

It was considered a must-win game for the club and they went in surrounded by a huge amount of pressure. The result was great for them and great...More
