    Sergio Busquets

    Liverpool reduced to 13 shots at Anfield when desperate. I am on Busquets side in both his performance on attack and defence. Football is a team sport and Busquets did his job.

    Suarez out, Malcom and Dembele stays. A running front line with Messi. Lets not complicate things.

    Sergio Busquets

    I wouldn't get rid of him. With a speedy attack with him he will be fine next year.

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Should have played Malcom. . . .simple. a fast runner. Football is basic and Valverde failed

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Barcelona have 2 hours to get one goal.

    Malcom

    Less pressure if he starts the match. Imagine coming on at extra time Liverpool 3-0 (3-0 not gonna happen anyway but still). We need to use him at some point in the match and I would rather the first half

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    There will be no thought inside Liverpools head of anything less than 5 goals. If we play deep again (not too deep) we won't need our goal. I think Alba, Messi and Malcom should start but with a focus on ball posession (with Arthur and Alena) rather than using a counter-attack all the time...

    Xavi Hernández

    No one has played more games of professional football as an outfield player than Xavi. If he has an average of 88 passes a game then he is the first and only man to have attempted 100,000 passes He will finish 1 game short of the appearences record for an outfield player held by Roberto...

    He is going to be such a great Mentor for De Jong

    Sergio Busquets

    His pass to Messi in the lead up to the second goal: I mean its only a basic pass right? But it was so direct and such a brillient moment. We need to be happy with these little details. The rest of his game supports this moment. A player that as of today am still very satisfied to have in my...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Sergio Busquets. It was his forward pass that set up Messi's run for the second Barcelona goal.

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Holding back to defend may not have looked so bad if Malcom and Dembele were on the pitch. We looked slow on the counter-attack

    Liverpool will look to 2005. Down 3-0. Coming back to win it

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Liverpool won't park the bus. That will help Barcelona attack

    Why are people so obsessed with the Champions League?

    Being able to go out there on a set day and 'Getting the Job done' on that particular day.

    Frenkie de Jong

    3 Arthurs vs 3 De Jongs. Who would provide the best result (defending, through balls) for a team?

    Paul Pogba

    Pogba is frustrated. The process is not going anywhere. I don't think Real Madrid are as interested anymore. It was Pogbas dream to play for Real Madrid. A payrise tomorrow or today won't fix that his frustration. I also don't think it is a good idea to bench Pogba because that might cause a...

    He needs Malcom

    Pep Guardiola

    The tactics should have changed early in the game. When working at speed they put fear into the opponent lasting the rest of the game. Fans and players alike can feel it. Those tactics if not done properly become risky for defense. When, for one of many reasons, the team is having a slow day one...
