They played well in Paris, and Liverpool withstood the pressure. And won the match.
The Allison performance and the smash and grab narrative belies the cold fact that we fucking won. Away from home in Europe.
We conserved yesterday. Played in second gear and won. There was zero panic about the performance. So, we should be and will be ready.
He didn’t say he wasn’t excited. I’d imagine that excitement is mixed with a bit of dread though, which is fair enough. We’ll all be excited when YNWA rings out. Anfield is made for nights like this.
I do actually feel they threw the kitchen sink a bit at us and atmosphere plus travel plus this odd way we play when we have more than 3 days off all came into play.
PSG ran us ragged in Paris, but they are not a significant better, more talented side than we are.
The game might be tense and nervy because they are good, but there as big a chance we will beat them on the day as there is they they will be able to turn the tie around.
A quick question for our Muslim posters. For those players, such as Salah, who are fasting during Ramadan, when are they allowed to eat/drink before the match? My understanding is that Iftar occurs a couple of hours before kick.off time so, presumably, this can be incorporated into the match preparation?
