I’m pretty sure they’d beat Ajax easily if they were to face in the final. They’d have a harder one against us because we’ve played each other so often that there’s a chance Klopp will get his tactics wrong, players get complacent etc.

Disagree, Barca were more bad than Liverpool were good.
I reckon that will cost Valverde his job. Fucking terrible management, anyone with half a brain knew the dippers would come out the block like greyhounds.
He picked the same team with the ineffective Countinho and Vidal scuffling around, no pace apart from Alba and an attitude that stank.
They got what they deserved and the dippers didn't have to play that well really but they had the heart and desire.

Maybe. Ajax can match their legs & energy. We are on our last legs at the moment. Hopefully Robertson, firmino & salah be injured still.
They might as well sack him and replace him by Ten Hag.
Thank you sir, could have used “a walking continent of common sense” but that will do
I’m nervous, like the Leicester season this is a chance that just does not come round often, it’s like England at World Cup just gone, with so many big nations being shit, that was the chance and this is ours, very similar position
Just get out there and do our best, that will be good enough to get to the final

So, Barcelona need to realise that they need a manager and better players and can't rely just on Messi to carry that shithouse in his backs. Valverde is horrible manager so are a lot of his player, Alba, Lenglet, Busquets and Coutinho are utter shite and there are others that are very overhyped, like Roberto and Rakitic.
Man City 15/16 4-1 (first team to beat all concurring City), Man City Champions League (knock out the overwhelming fav for competition without main players, scoring 3 away goals). Liverpool 4-0 last season. Liverpool away draws last season, draw this season. Chelsea 5-3. Chelsea 3-1 this year, Chelsea 0-2 away last year. Utd 3-0 2015/16, Utd 3-2 at Wembley, Dortmund (last 4 games over past two seasons). Real Madrid home and away last year. Juve away last season. Woolwich 2015 + 2016 + league cup this year.
And these are just off the top of my head, where have you been?
Probably will lose his job but your reasoning is flawed ....
Barca were doing fine for 50 minutes ... held Liverpool to a single goal having dealt with any 'out of the blocks' start fairly easily .... the problems came when they fell apart after conceding the second goal
Barca were shit and Liverpool just kept going ... sometimes these things just happen
The thing that worked for Liverpool was losing Salah to injury and gaining an extra player in the middle, pretty sure Klopp would not have dropped a fit Salah and not have won this game with him playing ... is there a lesson for us there?
thanks i needed that
Pressing like Liverpool?
We used to press long before they did. We changed our style of play......maybe you missed it
Only when we lose though Joe.....but not in the City quarters, we were cured again
Then he’s lost the dressing room
It was Memorial Day here so the match wasn't aired, I went to bed early and I woke up to this colossal clusterfuck. bollocks
Fucking hell, there’s fucking scousers everywhere in work this morning.
I work in fucking Swindon, for fuck’s sake.
“I didn’t watch it, I forgot it was even on...” :avbshock:

One conclusion on Barcelona. Bottle jobs of the highest order.
To happen once is maybe just an unfortunate set of events.
Twice and it's a clear matter of lacking mental toughness.

It is the bloody Women that wind me up. Never showed any sign of interest in Football, now they are die-hard Dipper supporters apparently. I suppose it is a bit like a run in the World Cup, they all come out.
Off to ask her to explain the offside rule for me ... Could be away a while, wish me luck..

To be fair, you missed Barcelona getting the mother of all tonkings. A rare event. They were hollow shells, husks, dead men walking, by the end of the game.
