The chance to be in our first European final in nine years. Let's do this.

F*ck me, where does the time go?

Anfield wrap guys had a chat with Pako today about the Villareal game. He's going to it tonight with Valencia playing them on Sunday.

He basically pointed out that they play a traditional 4-4-2 and fast, direct play when it comes to transitions. Their two main threats are Bakambu up top and Denis Suarez on the left who likes to drift inside.

The wingers come back to defend the second they lose the ball.

They don't play out from the back a lot; more of a second-ball winning team

The crowd isn't that hostile - tend to be quiet compared to other clubs.

He also reckons we'll be good enough to get a win tonight
