All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pagePaul Joyce, formerly of this parish, wrote in The Times about how Liverpool have now set the template for the remainder of their season."Just three days after displaying against Spurs so many of the frailties which have threatened to derail their entire season, Liverpool performed with an energy, self-belief and swagger to swat Galatasaray contemptuously aside," he says."Arne Slot would be the first to admit displays such as these have been few and far between, but this was an occasion when his side were all anyone has ever wanted them to be."It was also an exhibition of the fast, flowing football he actually wants his side to play.

This was one of their best displays of the campaign."If it was like the Liverpool of old, what could have shaped up as further evidence of Mohamed Salah’s decline instead became a cathartic evening for him. At half-time, when Liverpool’s dominance was not reflected by a one-goal lead, there was the possibility Salah’s missed penalty would cost them."This threatened to be his last European game for Liverpool until he had a part in three goals in 11 minutes, capped gloriously."Lewis Steele, tapping away for the Daily Mail, highlighted the impact of the Anfield crowd on the match."Arne Slot, who has been ridiculed by some sections of the fanbase in recent weeks, was a man on a mission," he writes.
