Do not dwell on injuries or suspensions

Not only do Liverpool have to manage without skipper Steven Gerrard once again, they now have to contend with Jordan Henderson, Philippe Coutinho and Mo Sakho also missing the second leg away in Turkey.

That is far from ideal but it will give a chance to certain players to come back into the side, stake and claim and show that they should be in contention come the most vital part of the season which is only just getting started.

Sometimes injuries and suspensions can galvanise a squad and motivate other fringe players and that is what has to happen here. Moaning and dwelling on what you don’t have is the quickest way to ending up on the losing side.
