"You are in for a night," he told me before Liverpool's home leg European Champions League semi-final clash with Chelsea on Tuesday, hinting at the intimidating cauldron created by the vocal passion of the home crowd. Perhaps someone should have told Arjen Robben: As Chelsea's wide man stepped up to take the first penalty kick of the shootout - after two games and extra time left the score at 1-1 - Anfield stadium was nearly lifted off its moorings by the roar pouring from...
