Liverpool vs Basel: A Must-win for the Reds

brendan rodgers


Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says must-win match with Basel this Tuesday will prove his players worthy to be included in Reds' folklore. The Anfield match is much-needed to shove the Reds into knockout stage and 2nd place in Group B. On the other hand, the Swiss team only needs a draw to trail beside fellow group winner Real Madrid. Rodgers' side were in the same position in December 2004, needing a win over Olympiakos to reach the last 16. Reds' boss admits his side have often had must-win games in which they emerge winners. He, however, dismissed the claim that Tuesday's victory will be dependent solely on Captain Steven Gerrard's 'super-saving' skill, stating that the responsibility for the victory will rest on the shoulders of all his players.
