Dutch International Dirk Kuyt is hoping that Liverpool can repeat their performance in the Premier League as they did in the UEFA Champions League, where they beat Inter Milan 2-0 at Anfield in the first-leg last night.
Rafael Benitez’s side have had a comfortable time in the European League in the last couple of years attaining the crown in 2004/05 and making it to the finals last season.
Despite their fine performance in the Champions League, the Reds have so far failed to deliver the same level of performances in the Premier League.
However, Kuyt is certain his side will be encouraged by Wednesday's 2-0 UEFA Champions League triumph over Internazionale and deliver some fine performances in England’s top flight league.
“Everyone I've spoken to, especially the Dutch players around Europe, know how good Liverpool can be - even if we've not shown it over the last couple of games," he said.
"First we have to beat Inter, and reach the next round, and then we can take it from there.
"The manager and all the players are saying the same thing - keep focused. We played well against Inter but want to play more like that in the Champions League and Premier League now.
"If we can go a long way in this competition like last year, it would make up for the disappointments so far this season. We know we have the quality, we just have to show it on the pitch."
