I think a lot of supporters thought [about the] 3-0 against Sevilla, maybe the same. “But we said in the changing room we just keep going, we press high and we just try to score more goals.” The form of the club’s attacking unit has helped to raise confidence around Anfield, with Coutinho, Firmino, Mane and Salah having shown this season that they are a match for any side on the continent.“[Those] players, it's incredible how they play. They can always score and it's nice to play in such a team of course,” said Can. “They are quick, they can play football and they can play one-twos. You see their goals - it's brilliant. “Really, they are very, very strong players and, if they see the bench, the players who come in are the same. I think we have a good squad.” Liverpool will be hoping to carry their European form into domestic competition on Sunday when they return to Premier League action with a derby date at home to Everton.</blockquote>
