Klopp might regret going so defensive. He did the same against City earlier this season and they lost. When you're in such good form why change anything? Surely just play your own game and back yourself.

I would be careful with touching players like Van de Beek. He is a raumdeuter; a “space investigator” like Muller and Ali. In the right system they are brilliant; Muller notched 21 league goals in 15/16, Alli 18 league goals in 16/17. However the drop off when those conditions are not present is ridiculous; think Muller dropped to 5 the next season and Alli 9. 

These types of players are technically questionable, as the role requires little else other than anticipation, intelligence and the ability to finish. Good luck to whatever team buys him for the £40m+.

Understand your point. Personally I think he is a much better player than that. His pressing is superb and he is certainly solid enough when played deeper too. Now of course Mount may already be that player. 

It's weird. I don't like seeing our rivals do well in the CL, but I also don't like seeing the dominance of Spanish/Italian/German clubs in the European cup. It is the reason why I hope Ajax win the whole thing. It would be great for football.

It always irritates me a little why we never went for Jamie Vardy. He has been consistent. For him it wasn't just the system. He has genuine ability that most top strikers possess.

If he was mid 20's he would be classed as genuine top class. His record vs the top 5/6 clubs is incredible. I am positive he would have been successful in our team.

Insane freekick. This guy is ridiculous.

How did Salah miss that! 

clean sheet now please

SAlah huge miss 

Ahahaha, Salah 

Can’t believe anyone felt Liverpool had a chance. 

600 Barcelona goals. Wow. Just wow. We will never see another play put up those stats again - of that I am sure. 

Can't believe there are Ronaldo fan boys who doubt Messi's qualities. Both of them are absolute freaks.

Unfortunately I can see Barca bottling it at Anfield. The occasion and atmosphere will have them nervous. Will probably go to pens.

I'd be surprised if Barca don't score at Anfield - that should keep it out of Liverpool's reach

sadly I think the Anfield game will have Liverpool players diving around at the slightest touch     

"Little slap in the face" McManaman says, f**k off, if that were Vidal slapping Mane you would be going ballistic.

Zero chance! Liverpool are an overrated side. Key thing is they have no winners. Has any player on that squad ever lifted a trophy? Barca have it in abundance, and there was only going to be one winner.

Would even back them to smack them around at home.

I can't see them stopping Messi scoring or Suarez

well, after Chewy wrecking it for them tonight we just need Rafa to frustrate them on Saturday to make it one of the funniest weeks since 2014 

Dembele is sh*te.

Quite enjoying the spin on "Liverpool played really well" ... and get thumped 3-0 ... LOL
