No we were worse. We only created one chance after he went off and it was from a free kick we were lucky to get.
Champions League Semi Finals (30th April - 8th May)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Cheaty Mo & Bobby are definitely out according to the BBC.
They'll need a season's luck in one go now!
If Liverpool had beaten Barcelona 3-0 in the first leg,would ye have fancied yer chances tmro with the two lads out?
We'll see I guess. Doubt Barca buying that...
If the Scousers pull this off, with being 3-0 down, the injuries, hard game against Newcastle a couple of days earlier, Barca resting their whole team on Saturday....
I will go to Anfield myself in a Liverpool shirt and kiss Klopps yellow teeth!

Klopp no longer has yellow teeth .But they could be displayed at Liverpool's FC museum.
Probably with the rest of the players teeth!
Karma?

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.
Pool would've parked the bus and probably hurt Barca on the counter nicking a goal and lose 3-1 at the most at home.
They play Wolves next weekend but Wolves have nothing to play for.
100%.
I think I'm right in saying that before the Barcelona game we hadn't conceded 3 in a game all season?

You think that’s a reality, that both will miss the game, or just gamesmanship?
If true that’s a terrible blow; the scousers can get their excuses in early.

Gamesmanship? I doubt Barca give a single feck about whether they play.
I hope Barcelona are fully tuned in for this 2nd leg. Would be easy to think the tie is over 3-0 up and Liverpool without Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. Complacency in team sport is a killer and if Liverpool get a goal in the first ten minutes Anfield will be rocking.
Salah should play on Sunday. Standard practice after a head injury like that is 6 days out.
Firmino's one we don't know about for Sunday but definitely a no for tomorrow.
Just seen a rumour Van Dijk might miss out too.
We won 4-3 against Palace in January.
What the hell is wrong with VVD?Salah should play on Sunday. Standard practice after a head injury like that is 6 days out.
Firmino's one we don't know about for Sunday but definitely a no for tomorrow.

He was training separately with Chamberlain today apparently.
Not sure what this had to do with my comment. I was referring to Cardiff as an example of a relegation team, not that they're playing Cardiff again.
Thought you meant they were playing Cardiff
Cardiff catually did well/better than expected against Liverpool when they had everyone healthy a few weeks ago.
Liverpool's luck is unbelievable.
Videos doing the rounds of the scousers setting off fireworks outside the Barcelona hotel last night. Full of class aren't they.
It's Dembele, hardly Messi or Suarez
They're without Salah and Firmino, not sure I'd call that luck, regardless they're out anyway so it's academic.
What are the chances of at least one of those being on the team-sheet? I won't be convinced they're actually out till it comes out.
Dembele has scored key goals this season for Barca, been injured a lot as well. They have a massive squad anyway so should be able to cover. I think we'll see Roberto in midfield from the start this time, with Barca in 4 4 2 / 4 5 1 as Messi will drop deep a lot.
Yeah, who is going to miss their 90th minute sitter now?
Klopp was talking about Brewster starting in his press conference, bit of a random one.
Would imagine Origi will come in. Tie was settled in last 10 minutes of first leg anyway.
Liverpool could win but it will be 3-2 or something.

Think Brewster's style fits better with Liverpool's system than Sturridge's or Origi's. I guess its play two known inadequate players or gamble on youth.
It’s Dembele! From what I saw in the first leg he’s a cabbage.No loss.
Indeed, give me Brewster over Origi any day of the week.
Can't get myself excited for tonight, it's such a dead rubber game but you can hardly not watch a CL SF.
Cheers
He’s comfortably been our second best attacker all season. Had a rough go in the first leg but he absolutely would have started today if he was healthy
Liverpool have their share of injuries as well
It's not that much of a dead rubber, sure I can understand difficulty getting up for it but score an early goal, get the Anfield crowd behind you and there is still a big chance.
Quiet day at work going back all that way?
I regret nothing - Messi was nothing special in the first leg imo.
He wasn't against us either, still scored 4 goals across both games against us and you. Little cnutQuiet day at work going back all that way?

Still got this horrible feeling that Liverpool against all the odds will have one of those magical.... urgh I cant even finish the sentence
At the beach and haven’t got out of bed yetQuiet day at work going back all that way?

well I did but it was to take the dog out. Anyway, no, I opened this thread and it was a few pages back, and saw a gif of Messi counting to 3 in response to your comment. I guess first unread post? Didn’t take any searching at all
