Liverpool FC slam leak of report report over Champions League ... (Liverpool Echo)

Liverpool Football Club has slammed a leaked report into the disgusting treatment of Liverpool fans at the Champions League Final in Paris.

A spokesperson from Liverpool FC said: "It’s hugely disappointing that a report of such significance, such importance to football supporters’ lives and future safety, should be leaked and published in this way. UEFA, as event owner, is said to be assigned "primary responsibility", but it's understood some commission members disagreed with the conclusion. The group has now finalised its conclusions, with the 158-page report being leaked to a number of media organisations. It's also understood French authorities will be criticised for deflecting responsibility, particularly after false claims about a mass of fans without tickets or fake ones. Fans outside the Stade de France were tear gassed by riot police, crushed when trying to enter the stadium and mugged by armed gangs of locals. The report is set to find the failings "almost led to a disaster" after faults by European football's governing body, UEFA, and the lack of a venue risk assessment by French authorities.

And that, in a nutshell, is the problem Matip poses at the moment. It was the error of a man massively short on confidence. And that was all before the 10-minute mark. While the official party line is that nobody wants to see it, in truth it put the icing on the cake. The ultimate purveyor of the dark arts, even it has not helped Everton much this season, he reacted angrily to the incident. In truth, though, that was a rare opening for Everton, and Liverpool seemed to systematically crank up the heat on the visitors. Prior to the match, The new signing has come into unfortunate circumstances, to say the least. But as he rushed on through, he saw fit to kick the ball away from Pickford. Bajčetić did actually control it very well, even getting it on target, but it would have gone down as one of the best ever goals in this storied fixture. He got through the whole game without having committed a foul, but having won the ball back numerous times, repeatedly snuffing out counter-attacking threats and putting Liverpool on the attack. A much-improved performance was a low bar, but Liverpool cleared it with room to spare.

Today in the meeting I told the boys I knew everybody thought the training was really good – really good – but now we have to bring it on the pitch. It’s not that we had too much, think about the first goal we conceded against Wolves – we can talk about everything we did not well and stuff like this, but how the ball went in was just like slapstick. The way he set up the chance for Darwin [Nunez], he had other moments like this where he came out under pressure and then there was a foul and we got a free-kick. In the end, it was not the most difficult goal he ever scored, but it is exactly the goal each striker is dreaming of when it didn’t happen for a while, probably. He came here as a kid as a centre-half, played now the six for us in a few games and tonight as an eight and in a lot of moments a double-six, did extremely well. We needed this game, we needed the performance. It was necessary that we played tonight the game we wanted to play and not the game Everton wants to play. This was obviously a very important moment, not conceding in the first chance they had was a very important moment as well. and we put him on a new position; you have to ask him actually, I don’t think he ever played the position before. It’s like when the coaches talk to each other, it’s like, ‘They trained really good today’ and then it’s like, ‘Yeah, but last week it was not bad either!’ You have to start convincing. You cannot avoid that all the time but I think they didn’t have an extremely high number of set-pieces, so with all the aggressiveness you have to show you have to make sure you don’t overdo it because each set-piece is a massive threat and something they want to have, and I thought we did that really well. On top of that, we were super-dominant; switched the sides, played the ball, kept them running.
