Brendan: Fans make us a strong force
Together we are stronger was the message from Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers after the club's supporters quite literally roared their team on to a resounding 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
The Reds were rampant once more on Sunday, swatting aside their dangerous opponents with what is becoming trademark panache - and the fans provided another telling contribution throughout.
Firstly, a memorable rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' before kick-off offered an additional boost of inspiration to Rodgers' charges and, simultaneously, warned the visitors of what was to come.
As an own goal was followed by a 29th Luis Suarez strike of the season, plus second-half efforts from Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson, the bellowing Kop was a constant accompaniment.
Rodgers could not have been more grateful. "It's great oxygen for us, as a team and management," the Northern Irishman explained to Liverpoolfc.com post-match.
"It's great that the supporters have got that belief; that's so important for them, it's vital that they feel they can dream.
"For us, our focus and composure and mentality is just to work hard, because there's a process to dreaming. You've got to get the work done, or else it doesn't happen.
"We just narrow our focus onto each game. It's brilliant for the supporters to come to Anfield now to see their team win and see their team play dominating football.
"We've still got improvements to make. We're looking to put something in place not just for now and this season, but the process started 18 months ago and it's continual."
Of the 16 Barclays Premier League matches they have played on home soil so far this season, Liverpool have been victorious in all but two; only Aston Villa and Southampton have departed L4 with points.
With three fixtures remaining at Anfield in 2013-14 - including a pair of heavyweight clashes against Chelsea and Manchester City - the boss urged everyone at the club to make the most of the atmosphere.
He said: "It's a swing in mentality. When you have a home ground like Anfield, and you've got the army of supporters that we have, you've got to really own the field.
"This is our pitch, our supporters, our ground; so our mentality is to own it. We've got an aggressive mentality at home, to win, to score goals and equally to defend.
"You put those things together, along with the supporters - who were immense, arguably the best atmosphere I've felt at Anfield - and it's a really strong force that you have."
