STEAUA Bucharest striker Bogdan Stancu believes he and his team-mates will not become complacent despite the absence of Liverpool's three major players.[LNB]Captain Steven Gerrard, defender Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres - the former two injured, the latter rested - are among eight first-team regulars who did not travel to Romania for tonight's Europa League Group K clash.[LNB]Stancu, top scorer in their domestic league with 12 in 17 matches, stressed they will not be distracted by a weakened side.[LNB]'It would be lethal for us to pay any attention to Liverpool's three absentees, because they have so many skilful players who can replace them,' said the 23-year-old.[LNB] 'If you just picked a Liverpool side from the bench and those outside the 18-man matchday squad, you would still have a very strong team.[LNB]'It would also be a huge mistake to judge them by their position in the Premier League (10th).'
