Exactly. No one is happy with the result. We’re practically knocked out.

But losing 3-0 when you’re outclassed by the better team - I can accept. But this was far from a battering. The scoreline is flattering because we deserved much more.

As someone else mentioned above, the only thing that let us down was finishing.

And defending the first two goals.
 
It is what


Players should always celebrate scoring a goal. I think the 'not celebrating because it's against a former team' thing is BS tbh

I'd celebrate like Adebayor!
Agreed. I have no problem with ex-players celebrating scoring against us. If they were being arsey and provocative maybe, but a normal celebration is fine by me.
It was a good goal, one we'd have been chuffed over if he'd scored it for us.
Their players irritated me more by constantly nagging the ref - that pisses me off.
 
what people.dont seem to get is Barca took thier chances and we didn't but that doesn't mean on another night we wound have been deserved winners


a) foul on Keita was a dangerous scissors from behind. It went unpunished. in a European game for that... well the ref was inconsistent at best. could have been red. No var even.

b) foul on fabinho. late and wild. No punishment at all. not even a free.

c) two pen shouts in game neither reviewed.. on another night both cpuld be given.. var has given that Matip one in games and not. there was clear intact on mane.

d) ball fell to mane but on his left foot. people go mad but what standard are you.judging on???

e) ter Stegen made a very good save from.milner at 0-1. that could easily go in.

f) fabinho tackle breaks exactly where it needs to to Suarez who if he catches it one 1mm differently it doesn't bounce back out.

g) first goal... thats as a result of us swapping round after Keita was stretchered off for a foul that should have been red. Milner swapped side as Henderson was a bit slow closing down. great ball. wonderful finish. Another 5mins later and Henderson might have prevented cross/pass

so... **** happens lads. We tried our best with a doubtful firmino on bench. I still didn't get an answer to what people wanted..
origi or sturridge... like come on. klopp did something and it did help us press.

he put in gomez as well which worked ok but maybe could have subbed there when Barca shut down our left side.

so **** happens..Messi was quiet but got a rebound and then a great free. Suarez took one chance....

all in all I appreciate how good Barca are and how we forced them to change style.to find a way.... for.me being in sf was a huge bonus so no shame losing to messi

<laugh> If you read your post again in a month you may realise most those points are utter bollocks and merely swings and roundabouts in a game.

I thought Poole looked good last night, and hoped they’d get a result, but **** me the tactics were slightly off away at one of the best teams in Europe. Even Uddersfield would’ve picked you off last night.

If they had Messi playing for them.

Not necessarily, they picked you off like little boys once they got the first. They stepped up a gear, which was a gear you cant reach.

Sure you wasted chances, but there really was no more cheating than you have done all season and gained points, in fact, Barca didnt cheat once, not did the ref.

Great response, well thought out, inclusive post.

I thought these forums were where people could have reasoned debate. If you dont want to chat nicely, then politely disappear and ignore me.

Similar to what Virgil did with the Barca attackers for the first two goals last night :emoticon-0172-mooni

Was that supposed to be incisive, you thick ****?
