barca losing 3-0 to liverpool seems more likely than them losing 3-0 to roma.....

anyone relying on liveblogs for this will have been informed by the Guardian that Messi's second was 35 yards out and by the BBC that it was his 300th for Barca

It's the nil part that makes it impossible. Even 3-1 would leave a faint glimmer of hope.

about what you'd expect from jammy, over-rated Lionel Messi

two chances you should prob take 1.5 goals from there barca

can only thank god messi isnt english tbh
god i can only hope they rue that embarrassing wastefulness at the end, one sitter two good chances in three minutes

Liverpool were good for the first 15 mins of that 2nd half, didn't score and well there is only one way etc.

our strikers want bloody shooting

I don't know if I'm going to get over this season
Guess I just feel Liverpool are very good but not quite at the level of some of the teams eclipsing them.
― FernandoHierro, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 21:10 (five years ago) link
Admirably philosophical of you but I'm feeling beat
― or something, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 21:19 (five years ago) link
Not sure I ever allowed myself to believe.
― FernandoHierro, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 21:23 (five years ago) link
Tho I did think they'd win this semi-final, I hadn't really thought of the CL much even though it is obv a huge tournament.
You could see Liverpool scoring 3 at Anfield but a bit like the Spurs Dortmund tie, all it will take is for Barca to get one and it's all over
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 21:26 (five years ago) link
Yes, Liverpool could score three, for sure.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Wednesday, 1 May 2019 21:28 (five years ago) link
Yeah I'd barely thought about the champions league at all the, almost as if we'd got to the semi by mistake. But in light of this brutal league run-in I'd started to warm up to it as a consolation xp
― or something, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 21:29 (five years ago) link
Also I'd made a conscious decision to believe at the start of the season after not believing had got me nowhere for so long

Was this sarcasm?

I may just have enough belief in reserve to get me through the next week and a bit but after that I dunno. There's a term in horse racing, bottoming out, where a horse runs a particularly gallant race in defeat and just can't go on the same again. That kinda vibe xp
― or something, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 22:20 (five years ago) link
xp why would it be
balance of play tonight before the third went in wasnt massively out of kilter
three one wouldve been salvageable i think.....barca with ninety minutes to counter and a three goal cushion might be brutal but nobody saw ye taking city last year
― deemsthelarker (darraghmac), Wednesday, 1 May 2019 22:23 (five years ago) link
(xp) No!
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Wednesday, 1 May 2019 22:24 (five years ago) link
Some absolutely hilarious calls from Liverpool fans on Talksport tonight, it must be admitted.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Wednesday, 1 May 2019 22:29 (five years ago) link
Nice of Suarez not to celebrate against his old club
100% in favour of abandoning this stupid expectation of fake respect for former employers.

Ditto.

i honestly don't care why people are fussed either way.

liverpool were unlucky. that was a p interesting chapter in wijnaldum's season, says something that klopp trusted him more than origi or shaq in that role but looks an even odder decision in retrospect. I really like robertson and he had a good game but alba is another level above, surely the best lb in the world
― ogmor, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 23:24 (five years ago) link
Agree entirely about the celebration - I was more just making a rueful comment in the moment watching it live as he went fucking bananas.
― FernandoHierro, Thursday, 2 May 2019 02:34 (five years ago) link
I think Gomez was a bigger call than Wijnaldum in the advanced role btw. Either way the dejection of this one is kind of growing.
― FernandoHierro, Thursday, 2 May 2019 02:41 (five years ago) link
actually somewhat okay with last night. last season was ridic exciting as was the suarez season but this season is more 'blimey lfc are a really good team'. delighted with the state of the team now compared to when klopp arrived who could be otherwise?
― oscar bravo, Thursday, 2 May 2019 09:09 (five years ago) link
agreed

That is loosely how I feel as well. He has done an amazing job.

Game on?
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 19:07 (five years ago) link
imagine defending like that after six minutes as opposed to, say, 86

lol who are these frauds
― Terry Major-Ball Will Tell You (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 19:11 (five years ago) link
It was poor. Starting this way was the only way Liverpool could tbh. Wonder how long they keep it up. Barca not playing so far. xp
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 19:12 (five years ago) link
Suarez certainly receiving a warm welcome from his erstwhile teammates
― Number None, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 19:22 (five years ago) link
barca looking somewhat rattled and are playing at liverpool's pace, this is great so far
― ogmor, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 19:24 (five years ago) link
origi should have put that other one away
― deemsthelarker (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 19:30 (five years ago) link
Good Liverpool effort but very hard to see a clean sheet here.
― FernandoHierro, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 19:31 (five years ago) link
lol suarez is getting knock after knock

lfc dont half go down huh

If the whole team could stop getting injured that would be good too.

shaqiri poor
― deemsthelarker (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 19:48 (five years ago) link
One great pass but looks a bit out of puff in general. The corners have been terrible from Liverpool. Not beat the first man once.
