Hates Messi
Was not responsible for transfers at either club.I would imagine Klopp. He showed an equally shrewd track record at Dortmund for buying players.

Well I can't pretend to be surprised. Literally called it well in advance.Barcelona are so vulnerable away from home, that I have to back Liverpool to go through. The fact they beat United at Old Trafford is irrelevant, it just shows how poor United are at home. Usually Barca fail to get anything away from home. They consistently got battered away in Italy, whether it's Rome, Juventus or Milan. Against Atletico, they can't win away in the CL either. They failed to win away even at smaller places like Lyon. Last year they only won ONCE the whole season away from home in Europe.
Even in peak times, they struggled away. At the Emirates, we faced the greatest Barca team of all time under Guardiola twice, once we drew and once we won. At Stamford Bridge, again, same problem. Unable to win.
So my prediction is simple: They will get battered at Anfield. If they have any chance of making it through, Barca will have to rack up the goals at Camp Nou (even that might not be enough, see Roma).
Just to be clear, I support Barca in this match, I actually want Barca to beat Liverpool. But Barca's away record is horrific!!!!!
He looks like Sanchez to me...slow and tubby. Coutinho was worse. Messi has some real dross around him these days. Such a shame he doesn't fancy a challenge in another league.It’s the realisation that we are so far off anything like Liverpool’s team performance that is killing me.
fecking Barca. Suarez was the biggest bottler tonight.
Well maybe if our ‘fans’ made a bit of Fcuking noise the fcuking stiffs on the pitch would get their fcuking fingers out.We played 5 games at home in Europe this season and scored 1 goal.
Against the top 4 at home this season we scored 1 goal.
It's hard to get noisy and passionate when you're watching the utter dogshit we've seen at Old Trafford this year.
Liverpool will most likely win it now. If they win the league Sunday too it will be unbearable.
This is what an elite coach can do, was gutted when they nabbed Klopp.
Quality wise we would still be miles off the pace with the current squad of players we have. Even if our lads were fit enough the desire would not be there , you can't just turn that on and off. Liverpool pass the ball well at a high tempo. We can't string a few passes together at snails pace.I could imagine Ole at home watching that tonight thinking of fitness drills to put players through for pre season. If we can get anywhere near that level tonight of running and effort that Liverpool players done then as a fan I would be happy.
There a well oiled machine klopp has got and done. Hats off to him.
Everyone worked for each other. Makes me sick seeing it.
Oh, hello there mate. Barcelona let us all down, that is, the actual fans and the pragmatic-momentaneous (anti-Pool) fans. What a massive kick in the ass Valverde and 1/3 of the squad deserve.You know who to blame for tonight
Oops, sorry.Cheers
Wow, respect. Honestly you were probably the only person to have thought that.Well I can't pretend to be surprised. Literally called it well in advance.
It's Klopp, definitely. He's the key to all this. Seize the moment, because he really is your best manager since the '80s, at least; forget about Rafa.All season long Liverpool have been lucky, no injuries to people like Salah. We are 3-0 down to Barcelona and not only lose Salah but Firminho as well. Then go on to thrash Barcelona 4-0.
Does this answer the question of how would we cope without those players? or were we just lucky again?
Ooo, there's so many of your posts in this thread its going to take me days to get through them all Casa. But this is a nice jinxer from last Thursday to get things started.They won't: Liverpool's scoring 4 next tuesday and blah blah blah.
It's on ESPN in the states. They almost always ignore football news.Thank feck I live in Japan. Nothing on the news about it here.
They have gotten a lot better over the last decade.It's on ESPN in the states. They almost always ignore football news.

Thanks man. Congrats on the victory Liverpool played amazing, just steamrolled Barca. I was literally laughing as the goals were flying in. They had no chance at Anfield.Wow, respect. Honestly you were probably the only person to have thought that.
You guys deserved to go through, amazing comebackOops, sorry.
fabinho makes liverpool more solid. he plays as a defensive midfielder. fred... no idea what he is... he just runs around giving the ball away and being anonymous. he does try, though.I'm just thinking fabinho for 50 mill and we got fred for 50 mill what are our scouts drinking please ? twice the player of fred if not three .
Why are you placing any blame on the fans for this nightmare season?Well maybe if our ‘fans’ made a bit of Fcuking noise the fcuking stiffs on the pitch would get their fcuking fingers out.
Well, the fear came true. Barcelona just can't seem to handle the pressure in the Champions League since their last win. It's incredibly frustrating to see them having these meltdowns over and over, especially at the expense of Liverpool probably winning the whole thing now. I think I'm just going to stop following football for a while. I'm not a masochist.My apologies Seij, let me clarify, you deserve a better response than that.
In regards to bottling it I think Atletico in 2016 and Roma last year were clear bottle jobs.
However Juventus were just magnificent and clinical in that first leg. Barca had some bad luck but Juventus deserved to go through. They were a defensive wall that season.
PSG performance in the first leg was terrible. Their away record is what really hurts them as they have one of the all time great CL home record streaks which still continues today. Even during the Pep era they were poor in away matches.
I think they'll get past Liverpool, but I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't very anxious about Ajax, their midfield is devastating and they're fearless.
Thank you, Daysleeper. Some great semifinals our teams just played there. Shit happens in football now and then, but when the disappointment settles you should take pride in your team for being a part of such memorable matches.You guys deserved to go through, amazing comeback
Most of us if not all feel like this. Nothing we can do but remain loyal and hope the Glazers feck off.I really fecking hate this sport right now. Wish the Euros were this summer. Just can’t see anything positive about our club at the moment and with our two fiercest rivals being probably the two best teams in Europe just compounds the living shit out of it.
B-e-a ... Beautiful ...FFS you would think it was Liverpool with a 3-0 lead going into the second leg with Barca missing 2 of their best offensive weapons reading this thread. If you're bricking it enough to think Origi and Sturridge will overhaul a 3 goal deficit against a team with the best player to ever touch a football you ought to get your bets in now. It isn't happening lads.
