WHAT MIRON MUSLIC SAID
Speaking to after the game: "Speechless. Normally, they tell me I'm eloquent. It is a proud moment. It is a big day. Showing this performance, the desire to defend, and it is Liverpool – they will be on you. The lads did fantastic.
"I wanted to structure this team to feel this organisation with intensity and be competitive and hard to beat – we showed that this afternoon. A big moment and I think I will realise this when I leave the stadium and go to my apartment. The game we love and those moments as coaches we miss."

HOW DID PLYMOUTH BEAT LIVERPOOL?
The 42-year-old Bosnian also explained his tactics that helped his players keep a clean sheet against the Reds and clinch a win. He added: "First of all, we structured them better, we got them more tight and then it is easier to defend. We then filled it with intensity and with desire and heart.
"In the end, you need a bit of luck to get out of it. It is a magical day for us. I told the lads to enjoy it, and we are now part of Argyle's history. It is a big day for all of us, somehow I feel we deserve this day. It means a lot to us and this togetherness we have here at Home Park. This togetherness will be important."
