Poulsen: Anfield Aura Felt Fantastic

Christian Poulsen reflected on his Anfield debut against Trabzonspor and admitted it was a special feeling to play in front of the Kop.

Liverpool's No.28 played his first 90 minutes for the club during the Europa League Play-off and felt at home playing in the red shirt for the first time.

Before the kick-off on Thursday night the referee delayed the start to allow the club's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' to finish on the PA system.

"It was something really special being out on the pitch hearing the Kop singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone," Poulsen told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"It was nice to play 90 minutes and it felt good to be out there and I am looking forward to playing many more games for this club.
"We probably should have won by more than one goal but we kept a clean sheet which is always  important in Europe.
"We missed a penalty and we had some good chances but didn't take them. I thought we were much better in the second half and we had a bit more control of the game.
"We know we have a job to do next week. It will be a tough match over in Turkey but we'll be ready for it."
Poulsen is now looking forward to his Barclays Premier League debut for the club and is hoping to feature in Monday night's clash with Manchester City.
"We'll have to wait and see what team the manager wants to play, but we are looking forward to it," he added.
"I think we have got a good squad here and you need a strong squad to compete with the other big teams in this league.
"We showed last Sunday this team is ready and hopefully we can do well and get a victory in Manchester."


"I was sat in the stand for the Arsenal game and it was great to see it, but to be out there on the pitch with them tonight was fantastic.
