And Milner, who joined the Merseyside giants from Manchester City in the summer, insisted that his side are confident about progressing in the competition.
But, after spells at Leeds, Aston Villa and Newcastle, the 29-year-old has become used to such comings and goings.
“We have to take it game by game”, Mignolet told LiverpoolFC.com on Sunday. He’s always there at the side of the pitch, I love his enthusiasm, it’s like he goes on the pitch with them – he’s like a twelfth man.
“It’s a lot different playing at home to away when teams come to Anfield and sit back, so it’s an area we can improve on. I think that was the first time we’ve seen the work of him offensively, what he can do and maybe the damage he can cause with his teams, and that’s from working with those players for 10 days during the worldwide break”. He is in the game and you know he is there with you and wants you to do well.
“We’ve spoken about the work of Klopp in terms of being organised and pressing”.
Neville had special praise for Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino, who both played a huge part in the first three Liverpool goals.
Clyne also looked to the future, saying Liverpool will grow even stronger, as the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke, Jordan Henderson and others return to peak fitness and sharpness over the next few weeks.
“I think it’s very important that we have qualified for the third time in a row”, he said at a news conference in Turin’s Juventus Stadium.
“That is what you need and every top team has – competition for places all over the field”.
I suppose we’ll just have to wait for more information to come out but I’m sure Liverpool fans around the world are praying Coutinho’s injury is nothing serious. We can’t play the ball in that direction when we have no one to play it to, please stay there’.
Pellegrini will have some decisions to make regarding his starting line-up for that game after making two half-time substitutions following a dreary first 45 minutes on Saturday.

“I feel guilty and after that I had to keep my head up and I was too upset”.
