Reds gunning for Europa League glory
(30-09-2010) Liverpool are firmly focused on winning the Europa League following their loss to minnows Northampton in the Carling Cup last week. That embarrassing setback realistically reduced their chances of landing a trophy this season to two, in Europe and the FA Cup, after another cool start to their EPL campaign. The Reds play Dutch team Utrecht on Thursday in the Europa League. "Our priorities have been to do the best in every competition," said Hodgson ahead of the match. "Although these days I will be accused on not doing that because people will say the weakened team I played against Northampton was not the team to win the game." He added: "We saw Utrecht beat Celtic 4-0 so are under no illusions that we are playing a very good team and we will have to be very good if we are to get a result from the game."
