THOMMO CONFIDENT OF EURO PROGRESS

Phil Thompson is confident Liverpool can see off the challenges of PSV Eindhoven, Marseille and Atletico Madrid and qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League.

The Reds will meet familiar opposition in the form of PSV and Marseille, while the clash with Atletico will see both Fernando Torres and Luis Garcia playing against their former clubs. "Atletico are a tough draw, but we've got enough to get through," said Thompson. "We have the know-how and the knowledge to get through this group - I can't see it being a problem. "We know about PSV and Marseille and I can't see a problem there. Atletico, yes, that'll be difficult but we will go through. "The important thing is making a good start. We took one point from the first three games last season and we've got to do better."
