I decided not to take him to the Etihad because we thought, after we had talks with the player and the staff, that we couldn't get a performance out of him. If you only look at those 20 minutes, you can see a lot of things we can improve."We cannot compare PSG with Man City completely because when we had controlled ball possession, that also had something to do with City not being so aggressive towards us.Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.(Image: PETER POWELL / AFP via Getty Images)"PSG has shown in the last seasons when Luis Enrique was here that they don't give you any second of time to have the ball comfortable at your feet.

But for me, it felt just as bad when were were 3-2 up at at Leeds or 2-2 with Fulham."Response to Luis Enrique's claim that neither team is the favorite: "In general, it doesn't matter who is the favorite because a lot can happen in two games."Both have good players and showed last season, going toe to toe, we deserved to lose 4-0 here last season, more than Saturday, and it was thanks to Alisson we didn't."At Anfield, we deserved to win that, but PSG kept the whole group together and didn't buy anyone did they? It's another chance to show we are not the team we were for the last 20 minutes (at the Etihad)."Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.(Image: Molly Darlington/Getty Images)Thinking about winning the Champions League?

I am not looking so far ahead; this is the task tomorrow and then Saturday is Fulham, a big task."On Giorgi Mamardashvili standing in for Alisson: "We are prepared for the game and if it goes as I hope, we don't need the goalkeeper. Especially if we can bring this game to Anfield — as we saw last season, and a recent example like the Galatasaray game — we played the best game of the season at home."The answer is already in the history of Liverpool but it's easier said than done because we've shown far too many times this season that we have phases in games, usually 5-10 but 20 at Etihad, with four goals conceded."So like I said: easier said than done.
