James Milner shines again, Mohamed Salah’s struggles continue as Liverpool edge PSG

The guys respond to your tweets about Liverpool’s win over PSG, including Salah’s struggles, assigning blame for PSG and comparing the two No. 9s.
Liverpool outplayed PSG from start to finish but needed a stoppage-time winner from substitute Roberto Firmino to spare their blushes after they somehow blew a 2-0 lead. With the French side their most likely rivals to top the group, Firmino’s last-gasp strike could prove crucial.
Positives
The overall performance suggests that the Merseysiders are well-equipped to make their mark on Europe again this year. PSG are one of the top sides in the competition but they were distinctly second-best throughout.

Liverpool were made to work for it by the resolute visitors but they held on to take full advantage of Manchester City’s slip up at Wolves earlier in the day. For much of the game it looked too easy for Jurgen Klopp’s side but when they failed to add to Mohamed Salah’s first-half strike, it began to get a little edgy; needing a fantastic late save from Alisson to preserve the three points.

Positives
Another clean sheet and another three points. Liverpool dropped far too many points in fixtures…
