BAROS - WE CAN BEAT LEVERKUSEN

Milan Baros believes that Liverpool have the hunger to beat Bayer Leverkusen in next weeks Champions League second round tie despite losing Fernando Morientes on the Reds attack.

Fernando Morientes is cup tied for the game on Tuesday night, Pongolle out through injury and Neil Mellor a serious doubt, which leaves Milan Baros as Liverpool's only recognised striker.

Baros said that he thrives on the responsibility of these occasions and is looking forward to the game.

I can bring these quotes thanks to people at Liverpoolfc.tv:

Baros stated: "I know Fernando can't play and Sinama-Pongolle and Mellor are injured so it will probably be me playing up front on my own, but I am confident we can do it. I think the boss will have something planned and maybe someone else will play with me."
 
"It's the last 16 and it is a massive game. I think we can beat them and go through but it's going to be difficult as they have played well in the Champions League this season and in the qualifier they beat my former club Banik Ostrava. It would be nice to score the goals to take Liverpool through as I always want to score goals."
