I have to agree with that. He looked good to me.

Fantastic game, I really love this team, bringing my love of football back! Seen a couple of mentions that PSG were poor, and did comment myself about Spurs at the weekend. But in reality, the way we are set up and playing, in the past two games, teams haven't got any time to settle on the and no answer really tactically.

Klopp's tactics are pretty much spot on these days, the only negative is that I would love to see him use the subs more, I was hoping Shaq for Salah much sooner.

Swagger and momentum comes from results like this, the players are going to be buzzing. Hopefully some teams will start rolling over for us like they did for City last season so we don't have to go full tilt in every match.

Robertson has got some cross on him. Trent too.

Some of the balls they whip in early when combined with very fast wingers like Salah or Mane are unstoppable.

Such a quality for a team to have when you have the opposition trying to keep a high line and really limit space between defence and the midfield or when you have bus parkers.

What a win though, Klopp said it best. I thought it was likely the team could beat PSG tonight and they did deservedly so, even with the talisman out of form. So far from 2 years ago when it would have been pitched as a David vs Goliath type battle.


I only recall a handful of other occasions when as a fan it felt like the team would beat any in the world. Them being around the teams that went close to the league title with Benitez and Rodgers. Since 2018 began, it feels like this.

We were excellent last night - keeping their forward line quiet is some achievement.

Their first goal was offside and we should have been out of sight with the number of chances we had.

There’s no point dwelling on negatives - we easily beat a huge team and sets us up nicely to play a more tactical game away in Naples.

Tuchel: "Maybe the score didn't tell the story of the game. We had a chance with Draxler to win the game. The result is not logical or correct. We played with a lot of bravery and mental strength."

This guy is a special case of delusional.

The guy is dead right to say the score did not tell the story of the game as the scoreline makes it look like a tight game raher than a game in which we squandered a lot of chances and could have gotten another three goals on top of the three we did score.


He should just be happy that he was not taking his team back to Paris on the back of a right kicking.

The return game in Paris is going to be a bit tasty

Hendo was great, picking them apart in the middle

Had a fantastic game.

It’s not a glamorous job. And often goes unappreciated by the fans, but winning the ball back and disrupting the oppositions flow is crucial.

When you saw how frustrated Rabiot was becoming you could see what a good job our three were doing.

Hendo/Milner/Gini were pivotal in getting us to the CL final. Underestimate them at your peril.

They should have some of the better players like Verratti back for it, but our team will have had even more time to gel and get into it's collective groove and our new boys will have had that bit more time to get up to speed.


So as much improvement that PSG will have between now and then, so should we.


If we beat Napoli in our next CL game, then we would be shoving PSG and Napoli into a position where they need to go all out to beat the other in their games in order to avoid being the team that finishes third in the group.
