The comments come ahead of tonights massive European tie which will make or break the Reds campaign in the Champions League, and could cost up to £5m should Liverpool slip out of the top European competition.

Bajevic said: "Liverpool are stronger and more productive with Steven Gerrard in the side. Of all their players he is the one we must give the most attention to. Liverpool have many good players, of course, but Gerrard can damage us."

He added: "We will not be going for a goalless draw. That is not our style. I did not want it to come down to a final match with Liverpool. But if we are to progress in this tournament we have to play knockout. So for us the knockout phase starts at Anfield."
