"If someone had said at the start of the season, you're losing the Champions League semi-final 1-0, with the second leg to come at Anfield - we'd have bit someone's hand off for that! We've still got a very good chance," the club's vice-captain told liverpoolfc.tv.
"It was disappointing to get beat [at Stamford Bridge], obviously it would have been nice to get an away goal but all is not lost. I think it's definitely game on at Anfield now, it will obviously be a great atmosphere and we need the fans behind us as much as ever.
"It's very important that we get the first goal of course because an away goal would make it very difficult but were definitely still well in the tie.
"The fact that we're a goal down will probably make the atmosphere that bit better really. Everyone realises now that we've got to really go after them and I think if we get through this time it will go down as one of the great nights at Anfield.
"Hopefully it will be a little bit more open for us and there'll be more chances for us but they defend very well and I'm sure they'll come to Anfield looking to do that again. We didn't create many chances at Stamford Bridge but I'm sure we'll create more at Anfield.
"We don't need to go too gung-ho early on though. We should learn from what we did against Benfica last year, we got a bit carried away in the first half and ended up conceding so we've got to use our heads."
