"Inter Milan are a top side and we know what a difficult task it is going to be to get through. We'll probably need to turn in our best performance of the season to do it. We'll need a really big display with every player fighting for every ball and showing everyone how desperate we are to go into the last eight," said the skipper.
"We can take heart from the game at Anfield, definitely. I know people might talk about the sending off but even before that we were looking the better side and putting them under great pressure.
"But we can't go there thinking we've got a 2-0 lead. We're going there with a mindset of it being 0-0 and us needing to produce another majestic European performance to get through.
"If we go there to defend then we'll be playing a very dangerous game and so we can't afford to do just that. If we just sit back then they could get a lucky goal or a decision in their favour and things could get difficult for us so that's why it's important to be positive, to take the game to them when we can and look to win it.
"I'm really confident we can do it. They are a top side but we feel as if we're a good team as well. We've got a good record on the road in Europe and if we play to our capabilities then we're a difficult team to beat.
"We really want to get into the quarter finals of this competition and we know it will send out a message to the other sides if we can knock out the Italian champions."
