Anfield big three want Kop to inspire return to glory days

RAFAEL BENITEZ, Steven Gerrard and Sami Hyypia have appealed to the Kop to inspire a reprisal of Liverpool’s great European performances when Olympiacos visit Anfield next month for a critical Champions League match.

The manager, club captain and former skipper believe the crowd can propel Liverpool to a victory which is imperative for the club to stand a chance of reaching the knock-out stages.

Benitez has seen his squad ripped apart by injuries, and he will have to dig deeper into the club’s resources to find a strike-force for the tie.
