Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has warned weekend opponents Fulham that his players are full of confidence after their Champions League goal frenzy.
The Reds kick-started their stuttering European campaign with a record 8-0 rout of Turkish side Besiktas at Anfield on Tuesday night.
Benitez was delighted with the ruthless nature of the display and believes his side's recent domestic blip, which has resulted in three draws from their last four games, is about to come to an end.
"The team have confidence from the other night," he told the club's official website. "It shows people we can score goals and we need to continue that.
"We have got the squad to win trophies, but we need to give our young players the confidence to believe they can do it.
"If you don't win games in a row there is always pressure on young players. But now we have the result that will help us to do that.
"It's like Manchester United. They were creating chances but not scoring at the start of the season.
"Now they are scoring in every game, and it could be the same situation for us if we carry on playing well."
