Barcelona vs Liverpool - Champions League (Semi Final - 1st Leg)

[Kenneth]

need to take a break from this forum me thinks, to many WUM's on here. goodnight & godbless

Bizarre. We did have the chances to win that match, watch the highlights if you can bear to.

This is very true. The results have been coming this season with players staying fit, but when it comes to the crunch again, it's still the same situation. Origi is not a CL semi final player, and neither is Sturridge anymore, and this was clear 18 months ago.

Origi or Shaqiri would have been better than Wij up front to be honest.

Never mind, it's been a fun old season.

****kkkkkkk offffffff

I hate football at times.

All that effort. We played very well. Missed sitters.

But Klopp again for me has dropped a massive ****ing clanger. Why does he play Gomez at right back? He was ****ing awful. Can't pass at all, ever.

In all our poor results its been when klopp has made a bizarre choice. Sturridge at Utd ffs. Why does he keep doing this?

I think it’s too obvious to blame Gomez. The long period we were on top he was great. Barca played to isolate him. They’d have done the same to Trent. Gomez was 2 v 1 a few times.

Saying that, Robbo was 3 v 1 at the end and he hoovered up. I digress

Ultimately a slightly fortunate second and a Worldie 3rd have skewed the score.

We didn’t deserve to win, but we definitely didn’t deserve 3-0.

If we can score first 20 mins at Anfoeld it might get interesting.

Not sure how this is Klopp's fault. Nothing was tactically horrendous which cost us. I agree that Gomez starting at fullback was a weird one, but the goals conceded weren't blatant errors from him.

They scored 2 half chances and a freak free kick. We missed 2 or 3 clear cut chances. That Milner one and Salah at the end were absolute shockers. This game would have been perfect for Naby, so his injury was a major blow. You can't miss good chances and concede half chances then expect something. Not sure how the manager ****ed us.

I know it's not popular to say but this can happen at the latter stages of the CL when the teams are so good. We've done it to other teams when we've been rampant despite them being excellent teams (thinking about when we put 4 past Madrid). Barcelona are still a brilliant team with brilliant players - it seems people don't acknowledge that anymore. They've battled through tough games in the League this season, they are fighters it hasn't been the fluency as before.

Regardless, it's over - we're not coming back from this. Hopefully City can do us a favour. Either way it's a great season and we've got a cracking team. The improvement from last season is vast and should be recognised.

Correct. We didn't lose 3-0 because of the right-back's performance.

[BobTheCharmer]

Got ****ed over in a CL Final because we had no attacking depth then did **** all in the summer about it. And here we are at the Nou Camp with an out of form central midfielder as a false 9. We really don't help ourselves sometimes.

You Chris when not in ultra over the top hyper bollocks about our players, post more truths than anyone. I completely agree.

[Slinky Skills]

I think it's over without an away goal.

I know everyone will say Istanbul etc but this is different.

Need to focus on Newcastle now and hope Leicester can do us a favor. The Premier League was always our priority.

It's been a good ride and we will have more in the years to come but it's over for this year.

****kkkkkkk offffffff

Keep deluding yourself mate but i’ve seen them bottle over and over again. First step to solving a problem is admitting it exists

[Red_Polo]

No problem in Suarez celebrating for me.

Hopefully he's crying in a fortnight.

Same. He's never pretended to be anything other than what he is. If you loved him for it then I think you accept it now.

Yup. Get rid of Origi and offset the transfer fee on someone like Werner. Just give him Sturridge's wages (probably the only reason we didn't sign a striker). No excuses in the summer.

[Exiled_red]

Ye they lost a 3 goal lead last season,but roma did have an away goal we need 3 just to get extra time and sadly think barca will score.

We almost certainly need to score 5 to go through

[Venton]

Go on and do one.

By all means disagree, but this.

Gomez wasn't the culprit for a heavy loss today, but largely because we weren't clinical and they were. Messi won the game for them. As simple as that. Complaining about a few decisions won't change the fact that we should have have scored 2 or 3 clear cut chances which would have changed the complexion of the game completely.

You see, you now add a little bit more flavour instead of your one or two liners to make it look like there's a real person behind this. It's an incredible accomplishment. I'd like to meet your creator one day. I might have to deck them but they need to know how well they've done in any case. Remarkable.

I think we ll beat them at home but scoring 4 with no reply... no chance.

That's why we are winning 5-1 on Tuesday

[DeanoUK]

Don’t see us doing it though. Klopp has already said he thinks we won’t do big business this summer; and no doubt we’ll be in a similar position next year.
