"This is why you play for Liverpool and this is what it brings," said the Welsh striker.

"It's great for the supporters but I'm much happier playing and being involved in it than watching it as a fan because when you play I find it a lot more fun because I can try to do something about the result on the field.

"This is part of playing for this great club. It's not just playing Man United or Man City, it's when you travel anywhere because we are expected to win and with the crowd we have following us everywhere it makes it that more special."
