We are up 3-0,we are rested, we only have Dembele injured. They are missing Firmino and have played two intense games in the past week.

SURELY we can't fuck this up?

If we get an early goal the tie will be as good as dead. We just have to be calm and ensure no silly mistakes are made. After an hour they will begin to tire. That's when we can maybe get another goal. There will be space because Liverpool have to go for it. We just need to take our chances.

The big reasons for @roma as well as @psg and @juv were a blip in form mixed with overall team fatigue. That won't be apparent tuesday. Nothing in the rotation patterns this time around, and based on how we have played our big games this springs reeks of that pattern.

Barca looks totally different from a freshness and fitness perspective, and are much deeper with the likes of either vidal or arthur and likely sergi (who can play winger or central midfield or rb on the bench.

As great as a team liverpool has been overcoming 3-0 to this barca form team is more than a longshot. If Leicester does something tomorrow i honestly thi k klopp will make sure their best effort is there for the weekend.

No, juve, roma, psg meltdowns didn't happen because of team fatigue and "blip in form". The signs were clearly there, just like when we got humiliated by Bayern 7-0. I wasn't even surprised. peg + juve: The team looked unorganized and un-coached. Suarez and Messi have now clearly designed roles and tactics to fall back upon, and so have the other players, lucho basically told midfield to support the attack and let our front 3 figure something out - thats doomed to fail in the long run. Roma: happened because players didn't trust EV and our core players hadn't accepted the idea of doing things differently. summed up when Pique screamed George_Castonza-nonsense like "we are barca - we don't defend - all out attack", when pique started arguing with EV, it was a disgrace like Kepa-Sarri-moment. Still EV ofc has fault as well for not making it clear who is in command.

Wowwwww. That is massive.

If we go out tomorrow with them missing two of their best players the entire team should have to walk home.

It seems since vertonghen last week they all are extra carefull. Rightfully so though and good for us. Lets see them manage many goals without 2/3 strikers, without conceding and having epl in mind.
We really shouldnt bottle this.
