I'm torn between wanting to see Liverpool capitulate and wanting them to make it an entertaining watch by getting an early goal. The reaction alone on here would be worth it though if they somehow managed to progress against all odds, but they've got a far better chance of still winning the league than they have of overturning the three goal deficit.
Champions League Semi Finals (30th April - 8th May)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
We'll score early then Barcelona will equalize, killing the tie.
Hope Brewster gets a run out tonight.

I’m confused. This is the same thing, surely?
As a direct consequence of Barça not playing especially well with the ball, it's entirely expected that one single player isn't going to dribble past five players, hit multiple through balls or dominate on the ball if his teammates aren't having good games.Quiet day at work going back all that way?
I regret nothing - Messi was nothing special in the first leg imo.
Good performances are contextual. A good game for an individual player when his team isn't playing well is contextually different than a good game for the same individual player when his team have the ball a lot more.
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.
4-0 la!
5-0 la!
5-1 la!
5-0 la!
5-1 la!
Hope pool win this one by enough to advance.
So they can lose to Ajax in final and be even funnier

Hoping for a Suarez dive to win it for Barca!
RAWK would be Epic.

Hopefully John Aldridge has another whinge about Suarez come full time.
I hope Suarez scores and celebrates in front of the Kop
Pretty sure he already said he would not celebrate at Anfield if he scores.
Kenny Dalglish goes to every game does he not? I hope Suarez scores and celebrates in front of whichever stand he's sat in
This thread doesn't show in the Football Forums page. Why?
Do you have the OP on ignore?
No!
Man the big games keep coming thick and fast. Oh for the days when we were in the thick of it ourselves at this time of the season.
If Liverpool get an early goal tonight it could get real interesting. A second after that and Barcelona could really start to shit their pants. The first leg score really flattered Barca and if it turns into one of those away team falls apart at Anfield type of nights, anything could happen.
Hopefully it won’t go that way and Barca will show cool heads and “use their experience” to see this tie through

Salah and Firmino are not playing.
I know but they still got some decent firepower.
Meh, thought Brewster was starting after all the hype.
If barcelona manage to go out tonight i might actually wank myself to death
Good gods, shaquiri and origi

I think he did but with emotions running high the weasel in him might surface
Bannable offence if he has.
Whilst I’d be devastated with the Scousers in the final, at least the meltdown by the Messi brigade will be something to pick me up.If barcelona manage to go out tonight i might actually wank myself to death

At least 5 goals tonight.
Hope Barca demolish them as pool storm all out to get an early goal. Suarez and Klopp to have a go at each other for extra entertainment value.
That frontline and bench we’re so fecked tonight. Shame cause I really wanted to see us at full strength against Barca. Hopefully TAA and Robertson can pop something on Origi and Manes heads and at least make it vaguely interesting.

Surprised to see Wijnaldum out of the team.

Really thought Liverpool pulling a fast one with the injuries.
Looks difficult but with an early goal still possible.

Brewster was the leading goalscorer for that famous England u-17 squad.
I bet 5 quid at 20-1 earlier today on Liverpool to qualify. If I’d waited for the line ups I reckon I could have gotten 40-1
Edit: odds have actually gone down to 18-1

He could be anything but the fact that Pillock Origi- one of Ligue 1’s worst players gets ahead of him, makes me a bit sceptical
It would be hilarious if Barça scores first after all the big talk about Liverpool scoring 2 in the first 25 minutes and running-pressing like demons, the terror of Anfield and blah blah blah...
He was a giant in the first leg. Van Dijk was actually the weak link
Nobody gave us a chance against PSG and we pulled off a miracle 
Man Utd were the underdogs that night. Liverpool is supposed to be this 97 Points Juggernaut ready to skin Barça alive at Anfield and prove that the 3-0 was unfair, blind luck, blah blah blah...Nobody gave us a chance against PSG and we pulled off a miracle
Still 50/50 la!!
Where are you getting this from? No ones suggested Liverpool are favorites in any way.
This again? Same as past wednesday? You blokes say it then deny it? 50/50. I've read that multiple times for the past few weeks.
