Argyle used 'energy' from Liverpool victory in Millwall win
- Published
Plymouth Argyle boss Miron Muslic says his side used 'the energy' from their FA Cup win over Liverpool to beat Millwall 5-1 at Home Park.
The victory - Argyle's biggest since September 2023 - lifted them off the bottom of the Championship table.
The Pilgrims are two points from safety with 15 games to go.
"I knew it was going to be very difficult for us because everything was so emotional on Sunday," he told BBC Sport.
"I think we as staff found the right balance to support the lads as best possible to enjoy this great achievement, a historical moment for us, but also on the other side not to forget that the daily bread is this competition, and we have to collect points and we have to win games.
"That's why I'm very pleased and very proud also of the performance and the win.
"The plan was to use this energy, to use this confidence from Liverpool from the first whistle - if we could manage to do this we knew then that we can also create some troubled moments for Millwall, knowing that Millwall is just defensively solid.
"We knew if we could put this structure back on the pitch, this intensity, we can create chances and we took advantage of it. "
