LOSC Lille Métropole captain Rio Mavuba urged his side to hold their nerve as they visit Anfield holding a 1-0 lead in their UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie against Liverpool FC. "We've got to be prepared for those first 15 minutes and be able to hold things together," said the 26-year-old midfielder. "There might even be extra time so we must be prepared for anything that might happen. We know Liverpool will be pushing forward and going all-out to score with the crowd behind them so we can't just sit back. We need to try and do what our coach wants us to do and score an away goal."
