Hoo boy, haven't felt such nervous anticipation for a while.

Watching the players line up in the waiting area...

They come out onto the field to a stadium that is absolutely chockers...

Good luck Reds, good luck...

Van Dijk looked calm as anything.

0' PSG kick off. Ball is kicked from the middle over the midfield. Alisson cleans up and we riposte. Bobby moves the ball up but is adjudged to have fouled. PSG break back but Neymar can't get to it before Alisson.

3' High speed start from both sides. Mane on the ball on the left, trips over two defenders - no foul. Veratti with a great turn in his box and moves the ball up FAST - foul and quick take and earn a corner after a wide shot

Rush 82 · « **Reply #6 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:04:28 pm »

4' Corner taken short but Mane robs Neymar and move the ball to Salah. Ball is out for a Gomez throw-in. Good one that earns a corner.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #7 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:05:46 pm »

4' Salah with a poor corner that doesn't clear the first man. Ball out for throw-in - Gomez with a huge throw into the middle of the box - no one on the end and PSG work it away.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:06:47 pm »

6' PSG with a good passage of play down the left. Neymar gets the ball to Di Maria who forces a good save from Alisson - corner

Short corner with a worked move - Silva well offside and called but not before Alisson makes a great save at point blank header range

Rush 82 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:08:59 pm »

8' PSG working very hard and very well. Bobby nicks the ball and we work it around but PSG win it back. Fizzing ball into the box from the right is well defended by the reds.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:10:41 pm »

9' Milner robs Di Maria who goes down - ref waves play on - Bobby puts a great ball through but Salah is a pace behind the defender and can't make up the ground. PSG clear.

Di Maria stays down as the clock ticks over.

He remains on the field

Rush 82 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:11:55 pm »

11' It's been frenetic so far - PSG looking sharp, hungry and industrious - LFC looking to weather the storm with a couple of decent breaks in between

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #12 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:12:54 pm »

Napoli have gone 1 up in the other game in the group.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:13:21 pm »

11' - PSG surge forward, Neymar is brought down, no foul, ball gets to MBappe who has a shot but straight at Alisson

Mick Jagger spotted in the stands

13' - PSG score - high speed, ball goes across and is clipped back into the danger area by VVD - Bernat with really good swivel - Becker didn't stand a chance

1-0

Over to Jill as Tuchel goes spare; Gomez kicked on the arse

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #15 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:16:40 pm »

15' We go looking for an equaliser a good break with some good work between Bobby and Salah, but the ball is snuffed out by PSG.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #16 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:18:05 pm »

16 A dangerous freekick for PSG, but Alisson manages to catch it.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:19:03 pm »

Fair play to PSG, they have run us off our feet in the first 15.

Can they maintain this pace

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #18 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:20:13 pm »

19' Nothing much happening we are finding it hard to get the ball out of our area.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #19 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:21:48 pm »

20' We are trying to create something but sometimes we seem too hesitant, but we are at least getting hold of the ball now.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:21:48 pm »

20 minutes have flown by - tricky reds have spent the last 2 or so in around the PSG box

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #21 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:23:39 pm »

22' Some of the pace has gone out of PSG's game at the moment, and we are managing to pressure them a bit more but still can't work it to Salah.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:24:19 pm »

Atmosphere is absolutely electric - the noise hasn't abated at all

PSG look to be slowing the game slightly

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #23 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:24:53 pm »

24' Like to see that again but Veratti is lucky there to just get a yellow card, went in late on Gomez.

Not sure if PSG can maintain this but we mustn't concede another one before the break if we want to get back into the game.

indeed

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #25 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:27:01 pm »

26' Seeing much more of the ball now and we are working it around quicker, we just need to do a better job at the ball in.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:28:39 pm »

One of the good things to see in the CL is the standard of reffing

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #27 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:28:59 pm »

27 We get a free kick in a good place after a foul on Salah. We work the ball into the PSG area but Gini's ball is slightly too hard.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:29:43 pm »

Looks as if Tuchel has identified Mane as 'extremely dangerous' - he's being double marked.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #29 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:30:14 pm »

29' That was much better some lovely work by Gomez, and Milner, creates a half chance for Bobby but his header just goes past the net.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #30 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:31:40 pm »

30' We really need to be more compact PSG so close to a second we lost the ball they were right back into our area and we were openly exposed, but Alisson gets hold of the ball.

Carved us open like but a great save by Becker - that lad is boss

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #32 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:33:23 pm »

32' A good run by Robertson and puts a ball in that Bobby attempts to get to, but PSG put it out for a throw to us.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #33 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:35:25 pm »

Napoli get a second goal.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #34 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:35:28 pm »

Tricky reds need a goal to bring us back into the game.

PSG happy to ping it around and hit us on the break now.

Milner looks so innocent that refs just have a word and leave it at that

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #35 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:37:11 pm »

36' 2-0 to PSG. Really poor by us to be honest lose the ball get stung and we're so exposed.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #36 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:39:20 pm »

38' That was better that move as we had some pace. It's almost as if Salah decided to go it alone there, he got into the PSG area but they dealt with it. But we need to see a bit more of that from the Reds.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #37 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:41:02 pm »

39' Free kick to Liverpool in a promising place, sadly Milner wasts it and it goes wide. Kind of sums up this half for us.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #38 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:43:17 pm »

PSG really are playing well it must be said.

Still, all we need is to pull one back and then it's game on

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #39 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:43:24 pm »

42' Very slow the game at the moment, nothing really happening for us in attack.
