Liverpool have Stoked their way into the CL final ffs. No credit from me that was as pure a bottle job as you'll see

Hard to argue with a second straight final, Jones. Maybe the continental teams are at their weakest right now, but Pool is amongst the best in Europe

They get no credit from me for this tie. Barcelona bottled it no two ways about it

I give credit to teams I dont like, theres just nothing extraordinary tonight to overturn a 3-0 deficit/lead except for Valverdes braindead preparation for this game. Hes not good enough for the top tier of football

We should be taking advantage of the weak Madrid, Barca, Utd's

Instead we are faffing about palace at home ffs

We didn't learn those lessons when LCFC won the PL.

You'd think he would at least learn something, anything, from the Roma game last year.

Valverde will be fired now, two consecutive years of large-scale second leg collapses won't be taken lightly.

Claudius

He has to be. And they need to shake some veterans especially now that Real are talking about a galactico program

QuincyAbeyie

I see what you mean, but fired after two consecutive doubles, that'd be something.. Kind of sad when you consider that doubles are our dearest memories.

TAA going forward is quality but defensively he is still suspect. What Klopp has organised is having someone working hard and covering the space he leaves behind. Something we have not been able to do for years due to defensive neglect.

It's a game of fine margins and the outcome heavily influences the impression of those watching.

Alexander-Arnold was all over the place in the first half. Alba was running into the space he kept leaving as he naively followed Coutinho short and inside. But Barca blew those chances and so no one remembers or cares. He was also almost non-existent on the overlap. He put in 3 crosses from open play all night: One took a big deflection and went straight to Wijnaldum: So some credit there. The other 2 were harmless and cleared.

I wouldn't take anything away from his brilliant quick corner. That was extraordinary, but that doesn't make you a good right back. And he's still far from being one in terms of his defensive positioning, one-v-one defending and ability to get up and down all game long: he doesn't have much of an engine and is not particularly quick.

But, hey, he takes corners and crosses well so he's amazing.

If Alexander-Arnold played for us, you'd absolutely love him mate.

TAA - shitster who starts for England national team, made premier league team of the year and will most likely make UEFA team of the year. If only we had shit like this

Jed

At only 20 years of age.

Bold Tone

This kid is the level of shit i wish our youth team produced.
He shits on Bellerin from a great height!

HomeSteak

I'm gonna finish the season and think about things. Feel like an old pro 😆 😆 , might take a step back from watching this shit...nothing good really happens for me in terms of football results.

Gazza M

there are very few good defensive fullbacks these days. TAA and robertson are passable defensively, while providing alot of impetus going forward. i would kill for kolasinac to have their final ball

Gunner89

Kola's final balls are dire.

Ray

TAA is 20, of course he needs to learn some things defensively. He’s still been absolute quality this season, thanks to Klopp being brave to play youth players in the first team.

Hunter

Liverpool are fantastic. To do that without two of their front 3 is special, Anfield is certainly the stadium to avoid in Europe.

Hope Ajax pull it off and get past Spurs tonight, but if Liverpool do win it I won’t be too bothered now, they a class above every other English club in Europe and always have been.

goon

Arnold has 14 assists this season. Whatever your misgivings about him defensively, his output going forward has certainly benefited Liverpool more than it has cost them.

I suppose it doesn't always work that way on paper Ricky. We made one with Flamini, Senderos and Eboue in the back 4.

And Lehmann, and Toure, and Campbell, and Fabregas, and Gilberto Silva, and Hleb, and Ljungberg, and Pires, and Reyes, and van Persie, and Bergkamp, and Thierry Henry.

Why must you remind me of the sorts of players we once had?

Ray

I wonder if after this result, the big teams will raid some of the Pool players. Mane, Salah, TAA, VVD.
