Debrecen v Liverpool: Jamie Carragher wants to be kept in dark over Fiorentina-Lyon score
Should the French side fail to leave Florence with any points, Liverpool will be eliminated to the ignominy of the Europa League, regardless of how they do against Hungarian champions Debrecen in the Ferenc Puskas Stadium tonight. [LNB]Carragher is certain the thousands of travelling Liverpool fans will ensure the players know exactly what is happening 456 miles to the south-west at the Artemio Franchi Stadium, but admits he will not be seeking regular updates and feels it would be best if his colleagues did the same.

'What matters is what the score is in our game at full time and then hopefully the other game will have gone for us. [LNB]'We have to concentrate on our own game and hopefully everything will go our way. The hardest thing is that our destiny is not in our own hands. When we have been in situations like this before, we have been able to sort it out ourselves.

[LNB]'We have the belief we can do special things,' he said. 'We have done it with this team and manager over the last four or five years but it has been part of the club for a long time. [LNB]"We have left ourselves in a little bit of a hole and hopefully we can get out of it. [LNB]'But it is also a game in which a win would get confidence for the team, looking forward to the game against Everton on Sunday. [LNB]"It is not just about the Champions League. We have got to get a good result and performance for our season, too.'[LNB]
