Match Day Thread Vs Barcelona (A)

And this is exactly why I don’t buy the ‘playing second leg st home is best’ thing.

Play home, keep a clean sheet and know that a goal in second leg near enough gets you through.

Been a great run, just came up against Messi unfortunately. Time to focus on the Newcastle now and not let this defeat get us down.

 

Or it could easily have been 4-1 to us with a bit of luck

 

Messi can't believe he gave away two chances to get hat trick by giving team mates certain goals they missed

 

Klopp got his tactics totally wrong tonight. He was far too open in this game. That was inviting disaster.

 

ah sod it.
just one of those nights where the the little things went wrong & cost us - oh and the dreadful shooting didn't help.

 

I haven't read back through the obituary, buy my feeling is we where the better side, how it finished 3 nil is beyond me, but it's the joy of football.

Looking at Barca tonight, and with Bobby back in the team I think we will do them on extra time.

 

Messi is a genius.

Salah though

 

We got schooled on how to take your chances. The old saying "champions win when playing poorly". Barcelona were **** and tonked us!

 

It was like he didn't know he has a right foot

 

Do you really believe that? Come on mate. Take your blinkers off and think rationally. We should have scored at least one but for Salah. He was dreadful today. We need strikers who can keep their cool in big games.

 

All the wums will be out shortly...

But you know what, I thought we played well despite the score line. Who the **** goes to Barca and has more possession and shots? I've never seen them sit so deep, so scared of their opposition. First goal a brilliant finish from nowhere, second a fluke and the third world class. Can't plan for that. Another window or two to improve on some of the more average members of the squad, get a few more clinical lads in there, and we'll be blowing them off the park. We had several big chances.

Anyway, still Anfield to come, special performances have happened in the past.

 

What a night.

This was for the innocent victims pushed into the fountain.

 

with better shooting it could / should have been 4-3

 

Bloody hell, the state of it.

 

He ran about we had plenty off ball.. what did you want? Origi? Klopp tried something.

You are right on taa should have been on on 60mins

 

Love it

 

We will remember them

 

Milner hit two at the keeper. Mane skied one. Slash hit post. That’s 4 very good chances.

 

oh FFS

 

There are some fans on here who have lost their heads. Have I just seen someone say sell Salah lol.

Game of fine margins. We didn't score they did. I cannot blame Klopp. Milner and Salah put theirs in it is a different game. We could have done with a fit Bobby Firmino and Keita not getting injured early on.

Need to dust ourselves up and go play the Newcastle game. We can spring a suprise and give them a game at Anfield in the return leg.
