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

Be objective folks...
Liverpool was better in Camp Nou and better at Anfield.

With this coach, this much is possible, nothing more, unless Messi alone makes some wonders.

Barca would have been in a perfect and calm situation if someone scored a goal.
But at 0:3 and playing a sort of 4-3-3 to change back to 4-4-2 - exactly at a time when a goal needs to be scored - it is not just stupid, it shows that all this mediocre coach knows is very little.

Barca plays with the mentality of a mid-table team, and this is definitely the fault of the coach.
Unfortunately Valverde "achieved" that - apart from Messi - the present team is simply boring, predictable and dull.

Of course I think Valverde will stay - and that's the worst news in the long run...


He is a mid-table team coach. His longest stints were at Espanyol and Bilbao with one year at Valencia. Never really had any type of success, he never should of been coach. I have no idea how he was hired but the Barcelona press was behind it.

I don't know if football is rigged as some say or not, but watching the same scenario happening twice in a year is suspicious, to say the least. How can all these WC players suddenly turn horrendous against a weaker opponent? How many gifts Barca players had to give to Liverpool and Roma to make these comebacks possible? And all those lousy shots? Why suddenly everyone, even Messi, becomes sloppy finishers when you only need one goal, but at the other end every shot becomes a goal? How many times Barca even lose 4-0 and 3-0 ffs??!!

The way we play, even if we had made the final, Ajax/Spurs would have KO'd us.

stop being deluded. in a one off game in a netural venue no one would have ko barca.

you know barcas problem. soon as the whistle goes for an away match, barca cant score and you know it.
they dont seem like they going to score.

away matches they are shit in cl. historically that have not been that good either.

in the final barcelona would have been totally different .ajax would have shit it and be nervous and barcelona would have won.
tonight was thier biggest match and they bottled it.

listen to this words. bottle jobs !!! in away match!

Valverde: “When you receive 4 goals there are no excuses. We just can say sorry.”

You can say "I resign." you piece of shit.

It's not time to change our style. With a new coach, Arthur starting and de jong in that team tonight we would've been fine. Arthur did more on the ball in 15 minutes than Vidal and rakitic did over two legs
 
Modern football is about running
We have an old team, so we can't ask them to do what they can't do.
Peps Barca was about constant presure
City's pep is about constantly running
Liverpool and ajax are about constantly running
Zidane Madrid was about constantly running
Football has evolved, but we have stayed behind thinking that a little.possesion here and there would be enough
Modern football will see the age of professional footballers at the top level diminished.
We are seeing the evolution of football to players who will have to run constantly up and then, and be able to recover quickly.
Modern football has arrived

Just rewatched the highlights. Love how Wijnaldum, before the third goal, casually stands like half a minute in our box and noone even bothers to cover him.

Not even gonna bother with the fourth goal; the defense was so bad that I don't know whether one should cry or laugh maniacally at this absurd shitshow.

This is exactly it. To win at this level you have to actually put in effort.
