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

[Scratch]

Great game, great display but a **** result...on another day we'd have walked out of there with at least 2 goals to our name (Milner and Salah) but alas last night it didn't quite run for us.

Not over yet, but it's a huge mountain to climb. Still, if any team could do it, it's this one!

[Nicey]

it's hard to be upset with the performance, we just got undone by a couple of moments of pure class, they took theirs we did not ours.

If there was ever a place Magic can happen, its Anfield under the lights on a European night. We score a couple of goals and its all to play for

How every online beef should be sorted.

Just my opinion but I have to admit I was disgusted with their 'gamesmanship'

It’s pathetic

Professional fouls all the time when we have the ball & diving and consequent play acting. Antagonising & winding up the opposition with little sly digs

It was almost unwatchable sometimes - no wonder people prefer watching the PL than the CL where you get a lot less of that ****

Disgraceful

[Buzzo]

Agreed.

Messi in the refs ear for about ten mins because he didn’t get hand ball penalty (was never, ever a pen). Suarez just being the cunt we used to love, but he’s taken it up a notch.

Some real sly old school fouls as well. Leaving the boot in all game. The tackle on Naby who was playing well was really cynical.

[labourRed]

The referee let far too much go. Essentially I think he bottled it from the early Mane penalty that wasn't given.

[Tribute]

Are they missing key players next Tues? Would really be helpful if Messi could just drop an iron on his left foot over the weekend...

[Lecter]

Chelsea are **** this season so it doesn't count as a big test.

We've done well this season, but that's not good enough in my opinion. We need to be winning things and this is another season where we fall short. The likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Utd are at an all time low, but when it came down to it, we drew with Utd, Everton and West Ham when it mattered.

We faced City and lost, we faced Barca and lost by 3. We've fallen short when needed. That's the difference, and that's why we need to add quality this summer, but words coming out is that we won't. I ****ing hate losing, and I hate losing to that cheating ******* Messi and the toothy git Suarez who many on here love. We need to break this curse under Klopp and win a trophy but I think that the mental strength of a few of out top players is questionable.

We have lost once in the league against City the same Manchester City who will probably collect a near record amount of points again and will probably win the domestic treble

To even keep pace with them is a massive feat

As for Barcelona, sometimes instead of throwing your toys out of the pram you have to marvel at a player who is just so good he can win matches virtually on his own, whilst not playing well

I have some criticisms of the team yesterday, some players werent at their best namely Gomez, Van Dijk and Wijnaldum (although cant understand why hes played upfront he lacks pace and technical ability to do that role) and yes we had chances to score

Its not about bottling it or players not being up to scratch its just sometimes its not your day and you are beaten by a bit of magic

Yellows are scrubbed after quarters.

It is what it is, did you expect them to be any different??

I certainly didnt

The sad thing is Messi doesnt need to do that ****

Suarez for me looks a shadow of the player that we had

If you think last night was bad, just wait until the return leg. They'll all be at it for the full 90 mins.

No I fully expected it - still doesn't mean I have to like it

Just kills the game but then that's the whole point

[cream]

Suarez is an utter cunt. Racist pig.

[Liverpool]

If last night was out home we'd have a lead to take the Nou Camp. Chasing an away goal doesn't suit us.

[gratziani]

****ing gutted , we played well and created loads of chances

Our Superstars fluffed their lines and theirs didn't

Gomez and Wijnaldum were wrong players for the game though i felt
