We're all well aware of how important the game against Sevilla will be for Liverpool but it's going to be an especially big night for one Reds player in particular.

It's a big test for Alberto Moreno if you looked what happened in the final against his home town team who he used to play for.

Everything that could go wrong did go wrong for him that night.

He's now back on home soil and there will be a lot of friends and relatives watching so it's a challenge for him.

Moreno has been playing better this year but he needs to make amends and show he's not that type of player.

The atmosphere is good at Sevilla's ground and I scored the winner there for Real Sociedad in my first season in La Liga but when Spain needed a result they'd play at their neighbours, Real Betis.

It's changed a bit since I played there but it's not as much 'in your face' as some Spanish stadiums can be.

Sevilla will be wary about Liverpool and what we did in Maribor so I don't think they'll come out and try to really get at us.

They need to win as much as we do but a draw wouldn't be a bad result for either team given what the final games are.

We should have won in Moscow and Sevilla know how good we are and the pace we've got so I'd be very surprised if they made it an open game.

If we'd have scored that penalty at Anfield it would have been all so different but we didn't and they capitalised on it.

We owe them a bit of revenge after what happened in the Europa League final in Basel.

Talking of pay back time, when we got to three goals against Southampton I wanted four or five because of what they did to us last year.

They tried to get at us a little bit and didn't sit as deep as some other teams but that allowed us to get the goals.

We've put together four wins on the bounce now since the defeat at Tottenham and that's what we all needed because that game was a nightmare.

The feeling throughout the week after that was like a hangover – just horrible – but we're now back on track and back in the picture in terms of the table.

You've got to commend everyone for putting that shambles at Wembley behind them.

Salah can keep delivering but Reds still need van Dijk

Last Saturday's match at Anfield was saw the bargain of the season against that man who could have been Liverpool's big buy of the summer but never came.

Mo Salah has done a lot more than we all expected and I think he can continue, no problem.

He gets in those positions and is always likely to get chances and while he's always going to miss a few, he's been putting more of them away these last few games.

Salah is proving a much better player in the Premier League second time around.

It's all about getting the right move at the right time. Things didn't come off for him at Chelsea but they might not have worked at Liverpool either if he'd come here back then.

He's had the experience of being in English football, gone to to a good team in Italy and has come back from Roma with a lot more experience and looks far better for it.

Liverpool are really benefiting from that with his trickery, the goals he's scored and electric pace – which defenders hate. His all-round play has been superb.

In opposition, Virgil van Dijk was in the spotlight at Anfield for obvious reasons and it was a difficult game for him given what's happened.

He's still a player that we need regardless of how he and Southampton played.

You can see he's a leader, he's not fazed by the occasion and that's the type of defender we need.

Saying that, Dejan Lovren probably had his best game of the season for us and dealt with whatever they had really well.

Spurs was a real low point for him but he's shown his mental strength to come back and try and become a better player.

His confidence was shattered but he'll never let that kind of display happen again. You've got to learn from your mistakes.

Ref justice while stopping Hazard is stopping Chelsea

It's great when you can have a go at a referee when you've won 3-0 as nobody can accuse you of sour grapes but I thought Mike Jones was absolutely woeful.

I'm told he's from Chester. Is that Winchester or Manchester?

For me he was so inept. The way he spoke to some players like they were little kids.

I just hope we don't get him too many times because he didn't seem very Liverpool friendly in my opinion and while his assistants were spot on I don't think he's good enough for the Premier League.

It was such an easy game to referee too, I could have refereed it, but he just made a bit of a mess of things and I'm glad it didn't cost us.

Thinking ahead to our next game at Anfield, I feel that if Liverpool can stop Eden Hazard then we'll win against Chelsea.

He's been brilliant for them at Anfield and he ran the show when they came here a couple of years ago.

Chelsea will be compact but you've got to be aware of his movement and do what's necessary.

I've never seen Ireland defend so badly

While there's been plenty to smile about with Liverpool, I was absolutely gutted by Ireland's 5-1 defeat at home to Denmark because I was really looking forward to a World Cup with us being there.

I've never seen an Ireland team defend so badly – ever.

We didn't handle the game well at all, even when we went 1-0 up. We weren't tight, we were just booting the ball upfield.

It was hard to take. The better team won and Christian Eriksen was a different class, there's nothing you can do about it.

We lost our way big time in the game.
