      Think Mertens managed 1 shot before he was taken off on a surprisingly disappointing night...  :f_tongueincheek:

      Big lesson learnt for that boy tonight.

      And Mertens, yes, this is SO F***ing special.

      well all the w**ker slagging off Klopp and the midfield three can go XXXX themselves that was just a stunning midfield performance.
      Henderson was superb Gini was incredible and Milner just destroyed himself.
      Naby and Fab also played superb when they came on. Winning 1-0 just shows how this team is maturing although how that wasn't 4 or 5 -0 is incredible,
      Robbo is just an animal words cant describe him and what about Joel he was just brilliant as was all of our defence.
      What about our man Allison OMG words fail me when did an Anfield crowd shout out the name of a goalkeeper. What a team we have.

      Make no mistake, that was one of our finest performances this season. The ability to continue creating chances against such strong opposition during the whole duration of the match was just incredible. Yeah, the finishing was a bit off today, but that happens; small margins and all that. Much more important is that your team is creating and dominating. We did both and fully deserve to go through.

      I'm voting VDV for MOTM just because I'm in awe of him and, prone to exaggerations as we might be as passionate fans, I genuinely can't think of a better central defender in the world. He's just that good.

      Also loved watching Gini on the ball tonight. When he's on it, having to instinctively shield it from opponents, it's nearly impossible to get it off his feet.

      In high-paced, end-to-end games, Wijnaldum is probably one of the best midfielders around. Absolutely bossed it tonight in my opinion. A few bad passes, but overall he was brilliant.

      What a game. Could've easily been 5-0, so many wasted opportunities.

      Van Dijk and Matip absolute giants at the back.
      Robertson and Trent endlessly running up and down the pitch.
      Henderson, Wijnaldum, and Milner running their socks off and all of them had good games.
      Front three all had a decent game and a goal by our Egyptian King.

      CL nights at Anfield lads, there's nothing better to get the juices flowing.

      Is that the first time we've beaten Ancelotti in the Champions League since 2005?

      Technically I think it's the first time we've beaten him (2005 was a draw - again, technically! haha)

      Allisson MOTM for me. Last gasp save that put us through. What happened to Bobby of late? His hairstyle as if he has been over partying of late and totally forgot his football. He doesn;t seems to be interested at all, as if he just turn up, stroll along and wait to be substituted. Needs to be dropped immediately and give Keita a chance. Players have become too complacent, poor game after game and still gets selected by Klopp. A very very good win and Klopp needs to slam the door and knock some sense into Mane, egoistic with the keeper to beat always wanna score a superstar goal, not even hitting the target. He nearly cost us today and probably the owner 25 mil in revenue.

      Right now mate, I can't give a flying F**k but you may be right!

      And...

      Hendo’s second half was IMPERIOUS.

      I will admit, he was v solid.

      Matip has had a tremendous showing in b2b games.

      If I could split MOTM and give half of it to VVD and the other half to Alisson I would, but I am going for Alisson tonight. I know VVD's performance is flawless especially in a game with so much pressure, but I just can't even begin to imagine how cold your blood has to be to come up with that save.

      ALISSON!!!!!!!!!

      Best game of the season. Pitbull pressing, Napoli is a top team (2-2 in Paris!) and didn't have much, we played it relatively safe (conservative midfield) and still could have made 3-4 goals. Just came to my mind: Next year in March Ox could be back as well.

      Aye finishing aside that was more like the Liverpool of last year.

      With a hard working midfield too!

      Beautiful atmosphere at Anfield tonight by the way Diego ;D

      Oh yes it sounded proper loud for the first time in a bit ;D made me really wish I was still going the game

      I almost gave Henderson MOTM for the first time ever, but after that save everything changed.
