Same old Bristolian attitude of we'll settle for a comfortable life in Division 1 Perhaps promotion, then consolidation, then maybe a top half finish, perhaps an FA Cup run, possibly even a Europa league appearance.

Fabinho on a yellow early on provided so much protection and little toes in here or there. He won’t get the plaudits tonight, Gigi and Divock and Trent will. Also Matip, was probably better than VVD tonight. Keeper, important couple of saves too. Brilliant. Matip is the most improved player around.

What a brilliant place Liverpool is..! I’ve lived 40 years with completely the wrong impression of the place! Absolutely brilliant, from history, so sightseeing, to night life, to the people! Definitely in my top 10 favourite places in the world, literally! “Four”...?! Watched Liverpool at Anfield (Watford 5-0) this season and got to say it was a brilliant experience - the City and the match. The aura around the club and the atmosphere in the ground was pretty special - so much passion and love for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Makes a mockery of the "champions" league when neither spurs or Liverpool have won the Premier league since its inception. Would be awesome if we had an all English final in both tournaments. Arsenal and Chelsea look pretty set in the Europa. Just hoping spurs get something tomorrow. Having Son back is a big plus.

Maybe thinking that football isn't the game for you if you can't sit back and soak up the result, the atmosphere, the emotion, the desire, the determination to overturn a 3-0 first leg defeat with one of, if not, the best and most remarkable 2nd leg performances. Time to take off your City hat and just revel in the game we all love. And give credit where it is undoubtedly due & deserved. Unfortunately for you, i don't think you can.

Hallen 5-6 Bristol Manor Farm in the FA Cup extra preliminary round about 10 years ago. The 2 grounds are less than 5 miles apart. Got in free, Manor Farm take the lead, Hallen equalise rinse and repeat up to 5-5. Hallen hit the crossbar, ball bounces around the penalty area and gets cleared off the line. Manor Farm go down the other end, hit the crossbar. Ball is half cleared after a goalmouth scramble and a first time shot rockets into the top corner.

Robin-hugh-blind Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 What a statement Liverpool have made. English football is the highest standard by far, klopp is class. This is a team without its best players and not even going to win our magical league! Jog on Barca.

Goes to show the value of the whole ground vocally supporting the players and driving them forward. A one in hundred result but with a manager and players with belief and 50k plus backing you vocally that’s one hell of a result and showcased what a great game football is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's well rested from the weekend too Would set history but my personal hope is Ajax...would be unprecedented in the modern era. Would prove much like Leicester that the biggest prizes can be won by small to middling budgets, if only rarely. More than the financial side though, I just quite like Ajax for their philosophy etc. As for tonight, full credit to Liverpool- up there with the best comebacks perhaps the best! A real unsung hero in Origi...vital, late winners for them v Everton, Newcastle and a key component tonight. Dunno if Wijnaldum always gets the credit he merits...well he will now!

Unan Posted May 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Obviously a massive win but add in to it the fact they're in a title race with arguably the best team in the world, have played 2 games a week nearly all season, was playing against a rested & fully refreshed Barca side, missed Salah, Firmino, Robertson & Kieta and it makes it sound much better. 10/10 for Fabinho who was on a yellow all game & didn't put a foot wrong.

Robbored Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 It was the Liverpools high tempo that really did for Barca. Liverpool stopped them playing the way that they’re famous for. They couldn’t find an outlet because of the Liverpool players constantly pressing them. They don’t face that kind of pressing in La Liga and they couldn’t live with it. Fantastic game to watch - you could sense the atmosphere via the tv.......a wonderful game of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan of same nation finals for the pure reason described in your first paragraph, just not in th spirit of European cup history imo, the competition should represent the best sides from differing football cultures pitting their wits against one another. We’ve got the fa cup If we want to watch to English sides play each other. What a game though, love to watch Liverpool purely for the way they play football, and that would go for any team in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
