In second half, the entire team lost the initiative, it was only after we took off Coutinho and played with *both* Semedo AND Roberto that the game turned around. Semedo never replaced Roberto.

Absolutely true. In the first leg, we concentrated primarily on Salah, and only after him did we mind Mane. Tonight we can concentrate on neutralizing Mane.

Also, if we went in with a 4-4-2, that would leave Messi-Suarez terribly isolated up front. I am happy with the starting XI.

It's as if Semedo is Cafu or some 25-year old Dani Alves!

That also means that Mane is highly diminished as an attacking player.

If Coutinho & Roberto underperform they can subbed off at HT or a bit later. Liverpool did not dominate anything in the 1st half at Camp Nou, it was only after the break. The flipside is that we can bring all of Arthur, Semedo and Malcom fresh against tiring Liverpool legs.

They have actual PTSD.

Semedo should be starting. That much became 100% clear in the first leg. We really need to shut them up ASAP tonight. Come on Messi! This limited coach and this team are leading us to heights hitherto undreamed of in world football. So there's that. I suspect some are not too much of...

Same here.

The Avengers references just keep on giving.

Against PSG, Lucho played both Rakitic & Iniesta after relatively long-time injuries. This cost us. Against Roma, we were unprepared, fatigued, stupid, arrogant and also Roma played very well. Against Juve in 2017, we were in fact extremely unlucky (and we actually played well overall, except in...

I am not saying we are already through. I am not saying they don't have a great European tradition or a great team right now that can hurt us, of course they do. What I am questioning is this blind faith they are displaying in some exaggerated tradition of great European comebacks. I am...

Amusing to read RAWK. "The club of great comebacks", "This is Anfield", "We are gonna give them hell", "Anfield under the lights", "The spirit of Instabul", "Great European nights at Anfield" You effin' scouse mofos, if your lot is so incredibly AWESOME under the Anfield lights on European...

Our CL away games this season have not been bad at all in general terms. Our first away CL game was against Spurs, we beat them handsomely. Second away game vs Inter, was one of our best games of the season, without Messi. PSV were better than us away, but we still won 1-2. Against Lyon we were...

What has OD done recently to merit starting in a CL semi? Also, why do you fear Pool so much? I am sure you were one of those in here who thought that Pool would trash at home. Roma scenario is not happening again, we are far wiser and far better prepared this time. Messi & Suarez can kill...

They can win the EL.

Anyone of Suarez, Malcom (if he is subbed on) Vidal, Rakitic, Alba and indeed, Coutinho are candidates of receiving great balls from Messi and finishing Pool off. They just have to take them.

3 tough games in 6 days will take its toll. There's no way it won't. I am not saying they well be dead on the feet, but there will be some noticeable effect, there has to be.

I think they will be fading since minute 1. Otherwise it means that their fitness is superhuman. I think it's impossible for them to play with the same intensity they did on Wednesday night.
