Liverpool showed just how dangerous their attack can be as Jurgen Klopp’s men put seven past a hapless NK Maribor in the UEFA Champions League.
The Reds had come into the game on the back of a series of disappointing and frustrating results, both domestically and in Europe. But, Philippe Coutinho & co. absolutely demolished the home side on Tuesday with a 7-0 scoreline to boot.
Fans were quick to praise Liverpool after the 7-0 rout saw them move to top of Group E. But, the man of the night was Salah, whose quick start to life at Liverpool has seen every member of the Kop Army get excited of what is to come.

Mohamed Salah cost Liverpool £34 million. Daylight robbery in my opinion. pic.twitter.com/lAIDcETcCP

Signing Mohamed Salah for £34million looks like a better deal every game. Great pace shown in that goal.

Sold Sterling for £50m years ago and several months ago we signed Salah for £34m. Madness.

He was not the only player to be praised on the night, with Coutinho and Firmino earning equal admiration for their respective shifts on Tuesday.
Coutinho is playing some of his best ever football for Liverpool at the moment. 4 goals & 3 assists in 7 starts since his return.

Klopp’s decision of fielding Milner in the midfield also worked out, which saw the player and the manager both earn some words of appreciation from the fans.
Klopp was right, moving James Milner into Midfield is like signing a new player ?? #LFC pic.twitter.com/I9iWHnkbXj

Milner is so much better than Henderson. Really hope Klopp sees that as well

Milner has give Klopp a nice little problem for Sunday hasn’t he? Really put his hand up for a midfield slot last night
— David Stafford (@djstaffs1) October 18, 2017
Midfield looks better with Milner in it, far more creative, makes intelligent runs, works, can cross. Why has Klopp not played him more #LFC
