Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish thanked away fans for their support in their FA Cup defeat at Manchester United.
Dalglish admits he almost 'did a Gary Neville' when first seeing the Reds away fans as he walked to the dugout.
He said: "The reception of the fans was fantastic, unbelievable. It crossed my mind to do a Mourinho or a Gary Neville and run down the touchline to the corner but I never made it.
"The fans have always had a special place for us and thankfully they have a long memory and they could remember happier times and hopefully we can bring those back.
"It is brilliant to be back in the job and it is amazing how quickly your memory comes back to you - it doesn't seem that long since I was in the dressing room.
"And not one of the boys can be faulted for their performance.
"We might pass it better, we might finish it a bit better but this is a difficult place to come and when you concede a penalty in the first minute and a man sent off it is always going to make it difficult.
"But if we get everyone pulling in the same direction we have a chance to improve things."
