Pre-Match: Barcelona v Liverpool Champions League Semi-Final Wed 1st May 20:00KO

Its one of those games which is almost impossible to call, it totally depends on how well our defence copes with Suarez and Messi and how good they play. Overall over 2 legs I'm fairly confident we can win as we have the better team plus I'm a lot more happy playing them over 2 legs than in the final.

In the other semi final I'd much rather have Spurs than Ajax win because you just know that Spurs will choke whereas Ajax have that youthful ignorance/arrogance which is very dangerous. I also dislike the Dutch league clearing their schedule for Ajax, I think that's bullshit and a very unfair advantage to them, but Spurs only need one more point to secure top 4 I think to not a major issue.

Dont want spuds anywhere near the final, would love to see them humiliated by Ajax.

Think it's 6 years since barcelona last lost at home in the CL. We definitely need to score and I certainly don't go along with some of the predictions on here. It will be exceptionally difficult and some people seem to be taking them a bit lightly

It's quite strange this... I months back I felt that we (LFC) had more chance of winning the CL than the Title (Would have preferred the Perm' myself). We need and to boss the midfield, and a two goal advantage to take back to Anfield would be nice,

Agree with this.

They've got the title wrapped up so they'll rotate at the weekend and the likes of Messi and Suarez have already had a fair bit of rest in recent weeks.

It will be a formidable test and I have them as slight favourites.

I'm not taking them lightly, I think they are a cracking team, but I also think we are and that we are a much better balanced team.

We need to play our game without fear. We need to show balls and show the world we're back!

Mosaic for Wednesday night.

I agree some of the comments here are staggering to be honest especially as there league is sewn up whilst we have to go again in between both legs .

Two of the best keepers, left backs and centre backs in the world facing each other, sounds good doesn't it ?

I'd rather barca had a host of injuries like they had early in season. Our luck everyone I's fit for them. Need watch messi he get the ball out wide to alba or Roberto and raktic likes to burst into the box. Then just messi suarez dembele coutinho to keep quiet. Guna be very difficult but we need to be on our toes for 90mins.Hope firmino is back 100%.. Come on boys. Might be our only chance to win a trophy

It's a shame both teams haven't got some of the best attacks in world football as well.

Should be a belter.

There, I've jinxed it now, everyone put your money on a 0-0!

8 finals isn't it?  Lost in 85, 2007 and last year.

I stand corrected, you are right,  maybe I was getting ahead of myself 😉

Dont think Bobby is starting or even on the bench. Probsb be back for newcastle.

Big loss, but hes no good carrying a muscle injury, rushing him back will make it worse.

could mean a formation change or just start Origi.

Really hope Bobby is fit for this. His press against a team that takes chances passing out at every opportunity from the back could be massive.

If he is not, I'd be tempted to play Mane through the middle with Salah and Keita either side. I don't trust Origi, Shaq or Sturridge for this.

Lets hit these fuckers on the break at every opportunity and get an away goal or two. Then Anfield to finish them off. Up the Reds!!!

TBF, you may be onto something there. Klopp may replace Bobby with a MF player.

Milner would probably be his goto guy, for solidity away from home.

4-1-3-2

- Trent - Matip - VVD - Robbo -

------------ Fab -----------------
----- Hendo - Milner - Gini -----
-------- Salah - Mane ----------

Just my thoughts, Naby could start as a 10.

Bobby trained this morning.

I don’t think Barca can stand up to our physicality. We need to impose our will on them and make everything hurt.

Would be great if Bob starts.
Can't wait.
