"Maybe there are some players who get intimidated by that kind of atmosphere. Everyone reacts differently. Personally, I always consume it and enjoyed those occasions more, but not everyone is the same," said the former Chelsea player.
"Maybe it's the kind of atmosphere which helps the home players as much as if affects the away ones. When you go into any game your focus is always on your job and try to concentrate on what you have to do, no matter what's going on around you.
"But it helps us because we know the fans will do a fantastic job tomorrow.
"With the fans behind us it will make a difference. Even those at Stamford Bridge last week made a lot of noise and I'm sure it will be a fantastic European night as it always is when we play at Anfield in this competition."
