We asked for your views on Wednesday’s Champions League win over Galatasaray.
Here are some of your comments:
Adam: A performance worthy of the players on that pitch. Fast, high press and direct. It looked like a Liverpool team playing the Liverpool way and it was great to watch… at last!

Barry: A performance to get excited about – finally. However, the opposition were poor and rarely win European matches away from home. We will see if Arne Slot is able to inspire the players to produce that intensity for the rest of the season, but sadly I can’t see it happening. Our midfield is overrun far too easily time after time – and against Paris St-Germain, I fear we will be left wanting.
Kate: Someone woke the sleeping giants. Fantastic performance. Everyone put in a shift. Super passing, fast pace, exciting football. An old Mo Salah special and great assist for Hugo Ekitike. Of course, Szoboszlai is consistently the star man.
George: Great performance. It was like watching a Jurgen Klopp team – high press with lots of intensity. A return to heavy metal football. The team never let up and gave no space for Galatasaray to play. The scoreline could have been so much more. While you can’t play like that every week, particularly if you have three games in a week, it begs the question why we don’t play like that with one game a week. In that mood, Liverpool will be difficult to stop. Let’s see what we have in the tank for the weekend against Brighton, but hopefully that energy and spirit are present. Congrats to Arne and the boys for a great performance. Same again please twice against PSG!
Karen: Excellent all round. A pleasure to watch. Who let the Reds out?!

Rob: Excellent application of effort. Cody Gakpo doesn’t start and there’s an immediate improvement in flow and movement. Some great performances but a standout first half from the two Hungarians – Milos Kerkez and Szoboszlai were superb! Salah showed some class, although the penalty was awful. PSG will be a sterner test, however.
Karl: A good performance – where has it been all season? Pressing, pace on the pass, one-touch football… all things we used to do and should do every minute of every game. Will we see it against Brighton? One good game doesn’t cover over the cracks created by management.
Stuart: The balance of the side was a huge improvement. The Reds were much better being on the front foot. The passing was slicker, with plenty of options and players wanting the ball. No knocking the ball around at the back where the problems lie. Just imagine Ekitike and Isak in a 4-4-2! A sublime goal from Salah to bring up 50 goals in Europe!
