with better shooting it could / should have been 4-3
No one wins anything on "ifs* . Our strikers were simply poo in front of goal. They had stage fright but klopp should have realised that and turned into a more defensive game.

The idea of a two match tie is to stay in the game for the second game. Did Klopp forget that simple truth? He messed up tonight and he knows it.
 
Milner hit two at the keeper. Mane skied one. Slash hit post. That’s 4 very good chances.

tbf barca missed a few decent ones. Dembele missed an absolute sitter and a decent chance. Vidal should have spanked one but tried to pass. You guys did well and should have grabbed at least a couple but barca are the european darlings
 
That ones on Klopp for me. Gini did nothing upfront, not sure what his role was even meant to be. Gomez just shouldn't play RB either and took away our threat down the right.

Totally agree with this + this game has highlighted the fact we need an out and out striker who is clinical.

so at what point should Klopp have realised our strikers had this "stage fright" not that it matters as whatever the answer is people would have been moaning why are you replacing Salah with "fill in whatever name you want from bench".

How did he mess up?
**** all he can do about the first. Hendo comes in due to a Keita injury, in those few minutes it takes to settle new positions, they scored from a brilliant move.
Second goal blind luck.
Third goal unstoppable freekick.

Only thing I would question tonight was Gomez ahead of Trent.
 
Yeah mate, if they hadn’t have scored 3 and you’d have scored 4 instead of **** all. Dead close it was. <laugh>

Yup exactly. You know what next year we could just never play in Europe, spunky a load of money up the wall and fight with Watford, wolves and Leicester for 9th place. That sounds good fun <whistle>
 
So


1. Did we try our best. yes

2. Did we make a game of it.. yes

3. Did we have procession parity. Yes

4. Did Barca have to make tactical changes just to cope, Yes.

5. Did Barca have to resort to bad fouling and cynical play. Yes

6. Did Suarez take his chance brilliantly. yes.

7. Did their second goal have two strokes of luck. Yes


**** happens guys. Barca showed their absolute class and their absolute cynicism too. I'd rather lose trying our best than lose playing dog **** like in the group stage away to a bunch of nobodies.

We were decent tonight. Missed 2 or 3 chances, one a sitter and they took their chances well. Once they got second they chance play totally and passed us off park cos we were chasing it
 
Goals win games, not chances

No denying that, and that’s why we have 91 points and are in the CL semi final because over the course of the season we’ve put them away. Different night, put those chances to those players again and they put them in the net.

Its why we love football <ok>
