Mental strength and Anfield crowd can see us past United – Toure

Liverpool will face Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Toure, 34, says he has noticed a significant improvement in the quality of Liverpool’s character in recent weeks, while he expects the Anfield support to play a key role.

Darmian had some shaky moments against Newcastle and it wasn’t one of the Italian’s better games for United.

“We’ll try to be ready for that game and now we have to focus on this challenge and that’s all – obviously, we want to win”.

“There has been a big, big improvement recently in our mental strength and that’s very important when you’re at a big club. If you’re going to give them, fair enough, but you need to be giving them on a regular basis”.

“When you refuse to lose games, you often find yourself winning them”. If we can be strong, and the fans push us like they did against Arsenal, that can give us something extra.

“It was a insane game, a insane night”.

Liverpool, beaten in their last three meetings with United including a 3-1 loss at Old Trafford this season – also conceded three times in midweek, but finished more satisfied than United after Joe Allen’s last-gasp goal rescued a 3-3 draw with Arsenal.

“It will be another massive game against United, and these are the kind of games you can win if you are strong mentally”. If we do as well as we did up front (against Arsenal) against them we have a good chance to win on Sunday.

While Brendan left many of us scratching our heads on that fateful afternoon, Brazilian new boy Roberto Firmino is certain that we won’t see a repeat this weekend.

“We must continue the fight until the end and we have a lot of games to recover three points”.
