Big performance needed

The Reds take a slight advantage back to Anfield for the second leg of their Champions League quarter final after a 1-1 away draw with Arsenal last night but will still need a big performance against the Gunners on Tuesday believes Dirk Kuyt.

"It was a really important goal we got because Arsenal played really well today. We did everything we could. We wanted to score and we did," said the goalscorer.

"We got straight back into the game after they scored and had a few other chances from corner kicks. You have to be lucky to get another goal, but Arsenal played really well.

"They have a great side but we're playing at Anfield and we've shown we can do special things there.

"Everyone knows what European nights are like at Anfield. Everyone knows what we've done there over the last few years. Hopefully the same will happen next week and we'll get into the semi-finals."
