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

[labourRed]

Milner/Gini slot in so well when the full backs move forward without thinking they sense where the potential danger is if we lose the ball, not quite seen it from Henderson yet whos keen to be seen in the final third making an impact since hes been unleashed.

If we are looking to be aggressive and dominate in their half I can see Henderson playing, if we are being slightly more cautious then Milner.

I'm happy with either tbh, only hindsight will say otherwise.

You've nailed it there. Tough game. You look like a tactical genius if you attack and score away or a dunce if you lose heavily.

Klopp is usually pragmatic in the big games but I don't see that playing out well. We need to press them but also be able to transition super quick (which we are capable of).

I think Barca will be wondering whether to stick or twist as well, going to be interesting.

I think it will be a game of figuring each other out in the first 10, then adapting to that for another 10. And again in the second half.

Some bellend 50 year old fella in Barca pushing a local Asian fella into a fountain followed by an Asian looking supporter.

Hopefully he gets banned for life the cunt. His mates egging him on with Mr Miyagi shouts.

One of ours?

It's appalling. I saw the same happening in the same square in 2002.

FFS. ****ing cavemen.

[kingfunk]

****ing idiots.

What a bunch of pricks. Ammunition for everyone to label Liverpool racists again. Great.

Peter Moore has jumped on things like this that spread on Twitter pretty quickly in the past. He'll need to do it again with this.

Hmm that's a start, but it's not enough. Surely he needs to address it directly and let everyone know they are attempting to identify those involved and ban them?

[Shaggy]

Agreed - I reckon the club will put out a statement later. They should do anyway.

That makes me cringe.

Just totally out of order. Not funny in any way whatsoever.

I don't know, while it's not a good look and does damage in terms of reputation, ultimately, a guy got wet. Condem it, apologies to the fan and move on. Don't want to turn what is generally now a total disapproval of fan disorder into piety.

Sort of but slight correction: in 2002 we were playing “throw the tramp in the fountain” with some homeless bloke that was hanging around. Every time he came out, we gave him beer and food until he was laughing again and then gave him another bath. Rinse, repeat, hilarity ensued, etc. By time we’d finished he was half cut, his belly was full and he even smelled a bit better. This seems nastier to me and has racial undertones.

Ha - I remember that now you mention it, but I also saw similar to the above - an unsuspecting local hanging around near the fountain getting pushed in.

More than one. Plus the way one them got shoved in was pretty aggressive, he could have got hurt and damaged his camera/phone. It's malicious, anti-social behaviour. He might not have even been a fan, just a tourist minding his own business, taking pictures of the square.
