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. Make them guess. Liverpool will hate the counter-attack potential and hate that we are again not camping inside their own half.

Doubt we will see a physically depleted Liverpool. Their fitness level is probably their no1 strength.

I think we’re going to beat them. 2-1. What a glorious day it’s going to be!!

Just need to win 2 more games to absolutely ensure the Champions League and 1 more to win the CDR.

 

[FC B]

Let's score the goal we need and make the game much easier. We need to be sharp on the counter attacks and end their hopes early.

Sure but who will we use to counter Liverpool? Coutinho?

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.

Can't see us losing this, no Firmino, possibly no Salah aswell.

Motivated Messi is murderous on the counter. Give him a bit of space and you're dead.

Exactly.. it’s just down to Suarez and Coutinho to finish the chances Messi will make on the counter.

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.

I was feeling optimistic until this post

Don’t worry... Rakitic will score.

Why is Rafinha on there if it says this player is not available.
