It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted May 8, 2019 Unfortunately I have very vivid memories of losing 5-0 at Anfield with that Suarez goal. But we have got some decent results there too, over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dj11 377 Posted May 8, 2019 I drove up from London for the mid week fa cup replay in 1990. Just looked at the line up and brought back some fond memories. https://www.11v11.com/matches/liverpool-v-norwich-city-31-january-1990-216243/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,502 Posted May 8, 2019 Watched the highlights & didn't realise how close the game was. Liverpool keeper made some incredible saves to keep them in it, & Barca players missed chances they'd usually dispatch withe ease. Liverpool were brave. They had nothing to lose. As RTB said earlier, I think we will need to adopt Klopp's attitude for a lot of games next season (as did Lambert in his first Prem. season). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Play’s a bit slower than we’re used to now, but that game very easy on the eye They didn’t seem to bother with midfield, or else probs due to that being the highlights Chris Woods magnet hands M O’N had a tasty shot on him for a defender Our no.3 - was he Ginger Pele’s old man? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted May 8, 2019 We're better than that - we'd score a goal. Messi & Suarez obviously ain't as good as Buendia & Pukki 😉 I did like Klopps comment - something along the lines of "shock them or fail in the most beautiful way”" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, Barcelona weren't at it but you really ought to focus on the positives or get a job as a pundit on MOTD. ....what do you think the Barcelona media and fans will be doing this morning?....you dont think there'll be an inquest? As well as Liverpool played, there are reasons as to why Barcelona threw a 3 goal advantage away. ....and for every positive there's a negative Edited May 8, 2019 by GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can try to say Barcelona we’re off their game that’s your prerogative but I’ll state it how I saw an incredible Liverpool performance, very similar to ours when we beat “the world champions elect (if you listen to the deluded Leeds fans) in Leeds this season!

splendidrush 700 Posted May 9, 2019 Didn't Paul Hurst say that 2-0 is a dangerous lead? Barca have proved 3-0 isn't all that healthy either..... Think we should unload that Pukki fella, don't want to go scoring goals if we're just going to get beaten. 😱 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rufus 56 Posted May 9, 2019 Yes Mid Norfolk, as you say the Barca fans and media will rip into the team and rightly so, all I was pointing out that Liverpool were exceptional and being English, or a neutral, or just a football supporter you really ought to celebrate such an amazing spectacle rather than just state the negatives. Also Barca had chances during the game, the Liverpool keeper probably had more saves to make than the Barca keeper so ithey could easily have snatched the goal to win it.

Why? ....yes I'm English but thats where any similarities I have with Liverpool ends ....and as a 'neutral' therefore able to assess one teams failings on the night just as you're able to appreciate other's success.....It would be very narrow viewed were you not able to do that?
