The ex-Leeds and Manchester City marksman sees no reason why the Merseysiders should look to shut up shop when they face off against the Red Devils on Thursday evening
Robbie Fowler has urged Liverpool to avoid holding on to what they have and instead attack Manchester United in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 clash.
The Reds will carry a 2-0 lead from the first leg into Thursday's game at Old Trafford after goals from Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino handed them the iniative in tie.
And although Fowler expressed his frustration at his former club failing to widen the margin further at Anfield last week, he hopes they continue in the same vein and look to attack United again rather than stand off them.
"Liverpool are in a great position but I don’t think it's over yet," Fowler told the Liverpool Echo.
"If someone had said before the tie that we would have a 2-0 lead to take to Old Trafford then we all would have taken it.
"But the disappointing thing about the first leg was that we didn't score more goals. The tie really should have been put to bed. There were some great saves from their keeper but also some bad misses from our players.
"The massive danger is that you go into the second leg with the mental attitude that 'we're 2-0 up, we just need to keep what we've got'. But it doesn't always work like that.
"There could be a mistake or a set-piece that enables United to pull one back and then the tie is very different.
"You have to play your normal game. You have to go there looking to win the game on the night. You have to treat it the way you would treat a league game at Old Trafford."
