Peter Crouch comments on the Reds state of mind: 'Perhaps the Champions League victory over Bordeaux on Tuesday can be a turning point in the season. We have always felt we have the quality to win games. Now it is a case of showing it.'

Boss Rafael Benitez surprised the critics by finally fielding an unchanged side against Bordeaux, after tinkering with his line-up for 99 successive matches previously.

But with Xabi Alonso struggling with knee and ankle problems and Luis Garcia troubled by a hamstring injury, the chances are the Spaniard will return to his rotational ways.

However, Crouch believes that whoever plays Liverpool are in the right frame of mind for another win.
