Arsenal head to Anfield tonight for the second leg of their quarter-final against Liverpool with the tie delicately balanced at 1-1.
Arsene Wenger's team went to the San Siro in the last round in a similar position after a goalless draw at Emirates and won 2-0 with goals from Cesc Fabregas and Adebayor.
Since that display, Arsenal have won only once in six matches and the Togo striker knows that must change if they are to maintain any chance of winning silverware this season.
He said: "Maybe we have to be better than we were in Milan. In the first leg against Liverpool, we had a lot of chances to kill the game but we didn't.
"However, I am sure we can now do that. It is a very important game for us, we still have big belief we can do it."
Adebayor will return to the line-up after being rested for the League clash between the sides at the weekend that ended in a 1-1 draw.

While that result threatened to wreck Arsenal's title challenge, Manchester United's draw with Middlesbrough on Sunday gave Wenger's men fresh hope.
To land any silverware, the Gunners must shake off the signs of fatigue that have underpinned a run of just two wins in 11 games.
But Adebayor insists there is no risk of Arsenal running out of steam at Anfield tonight.
"Everyone is feeling good," the striker said. "We just want to play as much as possible, so I cannot say I am tired. You just have to fight in your head.
"The most important thing is to be ready, to give 100 per cent. Yes it is going to be tough but we are ready for that."
