Today's Football 2018-19 Season

How many long punts?

If it works then fine, no problem with any type of approach. But don't pretend to be a great footballing team.

 

[MrD]

I have to say, Barca may need 2 more just to keep the world happy.

 

[trueblue84]

I just have one question

Did. Suarez. Celebrate???

 

[TheBigIguana]

Captain Hendo just had to get that armband when he came on. It was HIS moment. And then he didn't close down Alba as he crossed in for the first goal.

Barca need to get Roberto off for Semedo. Need more pace to cope with Mane.

Referee needs to get a grip on these snide barges and kicks

Leave Suarez alone, he's doing just fine

 

[LostLegend]

Barca need to put this to bed.

The RS look like they have a goal in them due to how shaky Barcas defence looks.

Vidal is a liability.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Not seen Messi give the ball away so much before, it's intense stuff.... Both sides will struggle to keep this up, gonna be tired legs second half....if Messi has the energy levels, he'll get some joy yet... But can't see that Barca backline holding out...

 

[Old Blue 2]

If the RS have to get after the game at Analfield, I can't see their defence keeping out Barca for 90 minutes. RS attacking play, more space for Barca, I can them getting a couple of away goals in the second leg.

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But his kids name is an anagram for Anfield though!

1-0 would be a very good result for Liverpool, IMO. No pressure on them to produce second half. Barca will need to be a lot more clinical if they want a sniff of progressing.

It would mean they'd have to beat the best team in the world by two goals.

Could be worse but hardly 'very good'.

 

[LocalNative]

Get it up ye scruffs. In the boozer with all the criers, haven't shut up complaining all night about the ref. Love it.

 

[bitter-no-better]

Liverpool spent a lot of energy in that half. And have already made a sub. Another Barça goal and hopefully more will follow.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Leave Suarez alone, he's doing just fine

I hope he bites the balls off of van Dijk in the second half.

 

[Prevenger17]

Hate to say it, Liverpool the better team. No matter how good you are, you have to work, Barca aren't doing it
