A few weeks ago, at Liverpool's AGM, the first proposal from the floor was that the club should "retire" the No12 shirt in honour of the Kop and its reputation as "the team's 12th man". It was a fanciful and, dare one say it, rather cheesy idea but they are entitled to their sentimentality. Liverpool's fans are proud of the noise that Anfield generates on these European nights, and rightly so judging by the racket they kicked up trying to inspire a comeback last night.
