'That performance was everything we've been missing'

Liverpool put on an utterly dominant display against Galatasaray. It had aggression, it had intensity, it had tempo, it had clinical finishing - even though the game could have finished 7-0 instead of 4-0 - but it just had aggression, and it felt like they had a point to prove. Liverpool used Anfield.

[BBC] Liverpool put on an utterly dominant display against Galatasaray. We know in one-off games that Liverpool can produce something special. We've seen it against Real Madrid in the early stages of the Champions League, but we haven't seen enough of it.

That performance was everything we've been missing. It had aggression, it had intensity, it had tempo, it had clinical finishing - even though the game could have finished 7-0 instead of 4-0 - but it just had aggression, and it felt like they had a point to prove. Liverpool used Anfield.

They used the fans and the crowd to make sure we were influencing that game of football - and we seriously did influence that game of football. Galatasaray were absolutely petrified. They were petrified of us on the pitch, but they were petrified with the atmosphere around the ground.

None of their players wanted the ball. None of them wanted to play. And Liverpool really used that.
