Liverpool's Champions League progression has bought Arne Slot time. His doubters will be silenced if they continue to play like they did against Galatasaray, writes LEWIS STEELE
Arne Slot, who has been ridiculed by some sections of the fanbase in recent weeks, was a man on a mission. Because 5.02 xG on a Champions League night, conceding 0.18 xG, that is not going to be easy to copy. ‘We have to fight this together.’It begs the question: why on earth do Liverpool not play like this every week? Mohamed Salah was more central than ever before and put in his best performance of the season. But it has bought Slot time and losing to PSG in the last eight would be no disgrace.
