Harry Redknapp has paid tribute to both the fans and players at Anfield last night describing the crowd as the most amazing sight in football.

Speaking after the game Redknapp said

“You have to give credit where it’s due, Liverpool worked their socks off. They closed us down and pressed us,”

“I have said before you never get an easy game here.

“You stand out there and hear the crowd sing – it’s the most amazing sight in football, and it lifts the players.

“I said to my players ‘Don’t think they are going to come out here and give a half-hearted performance because they have got some good players missing.

“Their players responded to the crowd and deserved the win in fairness.

“Dirk Kuyt never stopped working and chasing, the whole team played with great enthusiasm.”

We did play well but just like on those famous European nights the fans become more than a 12th man they become the soul of Anfield and not many teams can play to their best against us under such a crescendo of noise.
