Suarez looks like one of the villains in superman 2

The big strong mad twat

He also looked about 45 !

For a moment I though he might just start Brewster as a leftfield choice which Barca wouldn't be prepared for. As it is, am happy with Origi and Shaq. Remember Origi scored against Dortmund so he has history.

What a big night ahead - let's first concentrate on controlling the game and scoring the first goal. Stay patient, if we can be 1 nil up going into the last 20min we have every chance of scoring twice.

The main thing is taking our chances and not making mistakes (however small) at the back.

COMON U REDMEN!!!

Here's why you shouldn't pay any attention to the pre-match formation things on the telly or on news websites:

Milner as defensive mid? And surely Shaq and Origi switched, if not Origi up front and Mane left and Shaqiri right.

I hope all the fans in the ground will be stood there, looking towards the bench and all slowly shaking their heads. That’ll really give the players the lift they need.

Just looking for a good performance and win tonight. It'll be one for the ages if we manage to overturn this, probably on par with Istanbul. Just give it all we've got.

The lads should just play with freedom. It IS a European Cup semi-final of course but with the Kop behind them and hopefully a touch of complacency from Barca they will be able to fathom a few chances. Take them and bank on Virgil and Alisson to shepherd the defence and we've got ourselves a chance.

Its good to have faith when the odds are against us. Maybe a little prayer will help.

to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully

What's up with Lallana now? Last I saw was he had a "little problem" before the Southampton game and hasn't been seen since

Think his entire Liverpool career he’s had a “little problem”. Poor bugger.

Anyways, Come on Redmen

If it had happened to us then it is all we would be taking about and not being complacent etc etc. Sure as fuck they will be thinking about it and their manager will have spouted all the usual about not allowing a repeat.

Said it a few times. Get the first goal and get them thinking about not fucking up again

12C · « **Reply #429 on:** May 7, 2019, 07:16:37 pm »

Fuckinggerrintotheseyouredmen!

That’s better.

No one gives us a chance. We are without Mo and Bobby. We are 3-0 down for starters.

And do you know what? I am as chilled as f*ck

If we lose, it was because of last week. That can’t be changed.
If we win it will be because of tonight, this is still undecided.
Whatever the result these lads have worked miracles for us this season.

I am so proud to be a red. I wouldn’t swap with City or Barca fans.
And I feel sorry for any fan of any other team, who will never experience one night like this.

Agreed, I was talking about watching the game, I feel more relaxed about this game because we are behind by 3 goals. if we go 2 up however then the games on a knife edge and the nerves and anxiety will kick in again.

"This Liverpool never quits"
Liverpool v Barcelona (20:00 BST)

If Liverpool fans out there need to be convinced that they can turn this tie around, they should read Jurgen Klopp's programme notes ahead of tonight's game.

"Words and phrases won't win us this contest," he writes. "Our fans are smart - so are the Barca supporters. The situation is the situation. They have a lead and we need to strike back.

"But both clubs being smart also means everyone knows we are not finished and we are Liverpool. So: let's play and see.

"Here is one thing everyone inside Anfield knows, including our opponents. This Liverpool never stops. This Liverpool never quits."

Brewster and Woodburn to fill the Sinima-Pongolle and Mellor roles. Hendo to nail a 30 yard screamer to make it 5-1. It's written in the stars.

The Liverpool manager explained: “We want to celebrate the Champions League campaign, either with a proper finish or another goal. That is the plan: just try. If we can do it, wonderful. If not, then fail in the most beautiful way. I had these games quite a few times. In my experience, it’s not that before the game you think: ‘Yes, I believe we will do it.’ But I’m completely fine with the chance. Less than them, but we have at least a chance.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/may/06/liverpool-barcelona-champions-league-second-leg-jurgen-klopp

Yep, I'm completely fine with the chance.
