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

[krakdol]

Barcelona is bottling harder than PSG lol

Roma and now this new humiliation...

 

[DennyCrane]

Our passing game tonight had Cruyff spinning in his grave. Disgusting defense behaviour before Liverpools fourth goal. Fuck this coach and fuck this team too for not even trying.

 

[xxxxxx]

Where is the guy making fun of Liverpool fans before the match for being optimistic? This is this Barca arrogance mentality that cost us against Roma and today. Many of our players have no humility and seem to feel untouchable.
Damn what I would give to have Klopp as our manager..

You can't blame this on Barcelona fans. It's on the players and most importantly on the coach.

Valverde is literally one of the worst coaches we've had. He plays awful football and he chokes hard when the pressure is on him. If I was in charge of the club I'd be sacking Valverde at this very second.

Valerde just can't shake off the middle table la liga mentality. It is what it is. As long Real sustains the Barca inferiority syndrome we conquered during the Pep days things run smoothly in la liga. Cl is just a whole different situation!

Ill be honest, as soon as they got the third goal i knew it was roma again, i just wanted to be optimistic.

Wow great call

this team hasn't been very good all year outside of a few exceptions, we are a very average team with a host of very average players. On top of that, a coach who is in way over his head, who has no discern-able system. I was hoping that we'd get lucky and survive some how, but it wasn't meant to be. Liverpool were the much better team and it wasn't close frankly.

This ..i agree.. Mostly we do have average players bar Messi..and an average coach who is no tactical genius like some people would claim here...and there have been quite a few here like [MENTION=2]Barcaman[/MENTION] [MENTION=20461]George_Costanza[/MENTION] [MENTION=15262]serghei[/MENTION] etc who have been mostly unhappy with our style of play..and my best shot (and i think [MENTION=2]Barcaman[/MENTION]'s as well) at the start of this season was the semis which we did achieve..

This has to be the end of Valverde, what an absolute disaster of a coach. Anyone who saw the 1st game knew they had to play different and he went in with the same shitty gameplan and didn't deviate from it the entire game.

Used to defend valverde but no more. I said it in the first leg that Arthur shouldve played and he absolutely definitely should have played tonight. Vidal and rakitic out for good. No need for them. I have to say one thing we were better than against Roma. At least we had chances and Liverpool took all theirs. Over the two legs though they were better and it was mostly down to valverdes midfield selection

 

[ATLBarcaFan]

what is Messi going to say before next season? I really mean it this year

 

[Howlgrana]

Valverde needs to go tonight.

To do it once is shocking.... but to do a second time is worth a sacking.

Yes, this little cretin has got away with it twice, he's that stupid. The first time he should have been sacked. What makes my blood boil is he made all the same mistakes again!?!

Barca has always been about teamwork and teamplay yet this dumb fucker thinks being solid in defence (lol) is enough for this team and fuck everything else. You cannot win anything with a slow ass midfield of Busquets, Rakitic and Vidal.VIDAL!! How standards have fallen now he's one of the best midfielders on the night!!)

Felt like I was watching in slow motion when Barca had the ball the first 80 minutes. Only in the last 20 mins did they show any desire, intensity or urgency and started to actually fucking run.

And by then it was too late. Liverpool had what they needed so defended properly and not leaving a lot of gaps. If Barcelona did from the start, they would have had an away goal or two. It truly saddens me the mindset Valverde gave the team. Utter coward.

 

[Dan1983]

Lightning has struck twice. Valverde needs to go.

 

[sickstar]

I need to quit from this forum for a while. Maybe a week.
Even now shaking in emotion. I hit the wall after the whistle, in front of a friend who support liverpool.
It may go off in a day, but i dont want to see the man's face now.

 

[mesiesta]

YNWA... Congrats to Liverpool. Feeling very sad and embarassed. I hate Valverde.

 

[Ahmedd]

Liverpool deserved it, they wanted it more. I don’t understad how Ev did the same mistakes twice... like wtf and that dembele miss in the first leg.. Wow
