First half we looked good, not great, but created clear chances when Liverpool werent out of position.Second half looked shit at points but it's about time we had some luck in the CL I'm still angry about Chelsea knocking us out all those years ago!

Oh well, wasn't to be, too many missed chances and a loss of concentration at the wrong time and of course messi, klopp probably got in wrong, gomez looked really rusty and firmino should have been on earlier

Valverde fucked the tactics for sure. Hopefully he can fix them for Anfield or the tie might not be completely over.

They choked and they know it. You could see it on Salah's face. We just need to avoid another 2nd leg meltdown like last year.

They choked because they are pussy.That's why they never win something important. Not our fault.

People underestimating the psychological aspect. Defense turned up and positioned well to block all of the attempts. We also defended their corners well even though most players of theirs are a few feet taller. Liverpool were desperate and frustrated and not used to it as is clear by some cheap fouls.
Also think the team handled the pressure well. Two seasons ago we couldnt keep the ball 3 seconds. Everytime to succumb under pressure.

We're more lucky than other sides. Small margins.

Yes very lucky, but that's almost normal.
In the CL the team weren't lucky lately, so it was time to have Fortuna with the team.

Great result but quite a bad play considering it happened at home.
In the 2nd half there was hardly any combination-play, Liverpool played much much better...

Possibly Valverde will be a hero if the team doesn't concede 4 in Liverpool, but his changes were way too late, Semedo should have played from the beginning and regardless Dembele's horrible miss, he should have been played at least from the 60th minute, because all the team needed was his speed...

Valverde wanted to sit on the 1:0 and it's anything but his merit that the result was even more favorable...

Can't let the bad football for Barca standards and usual Valverde retardation ruin this. You don't win 3-0 in CL semis every day against one of the toughest opponents.

Visca Barca and viva Messi!

Liverpool had a period of dominance from the 45th to the 65th minute. After that, their intensity started declining and we grew into the game. In the end, we could have scored 3, 4 or even 5 more. Liverpool had very few clear-cut chances.
