Hands down the worst club in the world in terms of character

Even Messi participating tonight, quite clearly Liverpool make them nervous

Amazing how a club that plays such brilliant football (or used to anyways) have to resort to this behaviour.

But then that's how they won half their trophies

why the fuck did klopp mess with things. every time mane and salah get the ball we have no CF to play off and that means they have to take players on to get to goal.

Keita's injury and Firmino being out ruined this match

So true. They are so good why can't they just be sporty.

and honestly I can NOT get over where they place the away fans

it's so disgusting it hits me every time

it's simply classless

How did Liverpool escape a card is beyond me. But not the Liverpool ref apparently.

Is Messi hurt or is he just exhausted lmao this guy barely moved after the 30th min

gomez at RB is stupid. he is a class CB but he cant get up and down the pitch like taa.

+1

Can see Pool scoring. Barca needs 2 more.

It just seems the way it is with the football style, English are more clean cut and honest, generally SA style are a little more dirty. Its usual putting pressure on the ref though, and Liverpool cant say they didnt commit those fouls too, Milner did ramp into MEssi with no need, he was just unset Messi started play dribbling them, and Suarez as usual tries to provokes and heats things up as he like to do, a way to fire his mood and the teams up.

Fair play to Liverpool, but we showed we are better. Still tight though and all to play for in the second half.

Wijnaldum in Firmino role is useless, if we had a #9 we'd be winning this

Have to agree that I don't understand that move at all. Gomez has been fantastic as CB, but hasn't played for months and now he gets the first start vs Barca at RB?!

Robertson's speed is going to do something very soon.

Lenglet has been bamboozled. 20 minutes more and he'll be sent off.

It's like you guys keep forgetting every single season that Barcelona are absolutely skilled in play acting and harassing refs.

That being said, Barcelona doing well tbh.

Where's Sturridge? Is he injured too? Surely he's a better option than Wijnaldum

Its probably coz we've always seen it from afar and as neutrals. I can understand Madrid's sentiments now lol

Gomez usually starts as RB in big games because Arnold is weaker defensively

I can see now how it was for other PL teams playing against Suarez

suarez is a guy you love if he plays for you but hate if he plays against you

No he doesn't. Not this season anyway.

Suarez is a lunatic whose behaviour is absolutely unacceptable in every way

Regardless Gomez has no business being on the pitch today. Klopp's error.

He was injured like half the season, when he was fit he started vs City, PSG and now Barca at RB

we need to get out of here with the 1-0 to have a chance. the changes have killed us tonight.
