Yup
I liked the way they pressed, but there were also some tense moments. Manolas defending gave me palpitations (deja vu Koulibaly/Juve 2 weeks ago). Koulibaly is a beast - not great with the ball at his feet, but so solid (out played his counterpart, VVD, who is a tremendous centre back - they might be 1-2). Allan had a good game and I was surprised when they took him out. The substitutions altered the style of play.
I was surprised that they called that PK - Napoli has not had great success with that ref - German guy- but Liverpool has.
Liverpool keeper kept them in the game - that save on Mertens shot, where he was falling to his left and saves it with his right was world class (and it looks like he got his hand on the PK shot too).
