NO WORDS BEFITTING TO DESCRIBE THIS ELECTRIFIED GAME AGAINST PSG.
Incredible! Incredible!! Incredible!!!
I think Neymar was made to know what it means to play against a Liverpool side in Anfield. He must talk about that and learn how to respect a club like Liverpool with reputation in the world of football.
Briliant Win for all Liverpool loyals. Well-deserving victory. Honestly there are no perfect words for me to describe the performance of these boys tonight. It was in deed a night to remember. Can you have a replay of that 90 minute,non-stop action. To be candid,that was mouth-watering display from our boys. We didn't throw away many balls tonight and when we did we try am hard as we could to recover them. Our boys chase them down. I am proud of them.
I said before the game commenced, that if we can remain focus, maintain the balance ,and not to allow too many balls and situations in our 18 yard box, we could take the game to PSG Star-studded side. I would accept to be punished for not really considering our entire Squad as star-studded as theirs If I have to be honest in my previous overview down within me. But after this clash of the titans I Hold me responsible for a shred of doubt to think PSG might have an edge going into that game. That was rational of me if you would ask me. Of course they are a top, top team with most expensive players in the world in the person of Mbappe and Neymar.
Did I just mention Neymar? Yes. Did you see him touch many balls tonight ? No. He got missing in the entire 90 minutes , almost. Just that he was a bit involved in the goal scored by Mbappe. But there was no Neymar in that game. He was pocketed! Something that calls for laughter. Anyway, let me leave that for another day.
Right now am in a happy mood. Not time to think who played badly on our team. Every player contributed 200% .
Gini was so cool and soaring with confidence, dribbling like Coutinho. Sometimes his movement makes me thinks its coutinho spreading balls until he committed Juan Benat for a penalty. He held up the plays in the midfield and reduced Neymar to nothing. Dont forget Neymar was PSG's playmaker in that game. But , he was lost!
Anyway,I want to commend our players' effort.
Henderson! He made my day. He made some many tackles block them from moving forward, force them backward and kept marking and marking tirelessly. That was incredible show that he put out there. He has really rewarded Kloop for starting him tonight. I couldnt ask for more from Hendo tonight.
Gomez and Virgil did well today, despite the fact PGS put two back in their attempt to frustrate us tonight. Tis not easy to keep those prolific players of PSG away from your goal post. Something that may be impossible in every game they play. So am happy for Gomez and Virgil display. Sometimes I saw Gomez or Virgil pushing forward and delivering passes in the opponent's final third. All was to help our attacked get a goal,and as you saw , the final hit by Firmino was a pass from Virgil. That must remain indelible in our minds for days.
Trent was fantastic to keep Di Maria off the game.The argentine must confess he never breathed down in the game. I bet he didn't enjoy the game.Of course he was subbed. Robertson had a great game, got an assist. That lad is a Joy to watch. You could see how he picked out Sturridge in the middle of two PSG defenders. What a good delivery that was. Unfortunately, as the game became more interesting and intensive a deflected ball hit his leg and favoured Thomas Muenier who latched on it for a consolation at the time.Notwithstanding, Robo made me proud.
Mane worked so hard. He tracked back to defend when we loose the balls. I mean he was just typical of Mane I used to know. I think he played with Mo Salah today, just that Mo looked a bit tired and sluggish sometimes in that game. But , sincerely, I made bold to say it was not an easy game.
Mo. It is too early to talk about his performance level, but I have to say he should up his game. Everybody is looking up to him. I mean we are talking about a player who's contesting for Balon d'or with CR7 and Modric. The whole world is watching him. He slipped a pass that put us in dangerous situation and PSG scored in a counter attack. Mo Salah lost many balls in tonight's game. But things will be fine with him . I trust him. It wasn't his day.
Sturridge did well. He rewarded his involvement with a superb header. He made a statement on the game. I think that will let the gaffer have faith in him. It is good to try and reward your coach when you get your chance. He just did that tonight.
Shaqiri got some minutes under his belt. He put his best foot out there. I still expect more from him. Not a bad outing for him. He came on for Salah when we were chasing the win.
Allison ? Of course he was outstanding. Was focus and made great save though they put two past him. There was no expensive jokes.
Millie was my man to watch tonight. Spreading balls, picking out team mates in every space on the pitch. He made huge impact on the game. We need him to stay fit . He gives a Liverpool team so many options. That spot kick was class act. I knew he would put the ball at the back of the net. That must calmed our nerves in those moments. Two goals up was what the score board says! Wow! But 'inevitable' is what makes football unpredictable. Bang and bang, the visitors got an equalizer. Finally , we won. As they say , ' the end justifies the means' , was the case today.
And then, in what looked like an end of the 90 minutes + 180 seconds , the man the Spurs couldn't make blind, the man they could't stop saved the day with a final hit that resurrected the spirit of the living and the dead at Anfield in a night of miracles. What a briliant decision from Firmino. What a great strike on a stoppage time.
And the final result is LIVERPOOL 3-2 PSG . ANFIELD IS STILL BUZZING! WE ARE LIVERPOOL.WE ARE FAMILY
YOU WELL NEVER WALK ALONE
