Liverpool are still imperfect but dramatic Champions League win against Ajax has put crisis talk on pause
The i says Liverpool were well-beaten Naples and while there were still holes in their performance at Anfield, the victory and the manner of it was much-needed.
One cross is all it takes to be reborn. On an anxious, angst-ridden evening at Anfield, Joel Matip watched Liverpool’s forwards spurn chances to score, trotted up for an umpteenth corner and buried Ajax with a stooping header that sparked more relief than Jurgen Klopp has got used to generating in the autumn.
These were supposed to be easier assignments and this team is supposed to be more coherent than this. But if Klopp has brought champagne nights to Anfield, sometimes Lambrini evenings are enough.
