Liverpool have a massive uphill battle next week (?) to try and overturn the 3-0 loss to Barcelona
It was good while it lasted, looks like another "potless" season for Klopp.

Hi,
I don't want this to turn into a platform of match analysis etc, or indeed a place for talking about how awful it is, but something that has just cropped into my mind is how many rail enthusiatsts actually like the beautiful game too?
I can think of a few members on here, yet trains and footy never seem to be two things that go together...
So, anyone else like football?

He is quite a player but I saw a very embarrassing clip of Lineker and Ferdinand celebrating when he scored the third. It really wasn't that brilliant a goal. If he'd scored it against Betis they wouldn't have been going mental pumping fists and saying "Wow". Allison should have saved it .Barcelona is renamed Messi.

We'll have to agree to disagree.No way - Messi’s free kick was up in the postage stamp. It was outstanding technique and a goal fit to decide any game.
Now that is a difficult question to answer without sounding conceited. I swear down I am not conceited, I am from Liverpool (L18) and have supported Liverpool for all of the 44 years of my life. This is just about the best team we have had. We are tiny fractions away from winning anything we want. Perhaps all we are missing is a proper superstar in Midfield but the people who play there are already really good. Almost any team in the world would take them. Barcelona really don't want to play us. The only problem we had this season has been that Man City were almost perfect. And they still lost more games than us.
We have a pretty good squad. Let's take goal difference across the league. Look at the goal difference of the top two teams and then look at the massive drop to the teams in third, forth, fifth and sixth. It's a big drop.Apologies that it's taken me a week to respond to this. The reason I called it squad strengthening as opposed to team strengthing is that the way I look at Liverpool is that they have an awesome starting 11 but maybe lack a bit of quality in terms of squad rotation. Are there not areas outside of the top 11 that might take Liverpool from nearly winners to actual winners?

We took a big hit losing Salah tonight having already lost Firmino. We already didn't have Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gomez. We are still right with City.
Congratulations to Sol Campbell for his efforts in keeping Macclesfield Town in the Football League. He took over as manager when the club's league results were very poor indeed up to that point in time.
Someone better tell Fabinho to make sure his boot laces are tied before he injuries himself tripping over them, or slipping on some wet grass.
Or was it an audition for the local diving team?

Indeed, the way he has turned their fortunes around is superb. The big challenge for him now is whether he can build on this when working from a clean slate......it's sometimes easier to join and save a sinking ship than it is to then go on to steady it
That wouldn't have gone to VAR anyway. VAR would be used for penalties, or offsides and fouls in the build up to goals.Shocking free kick. Roll on VAR.
The big question is if the club remains solvent to stay in the league - there are still questions about unpaid wages from April.
Shocking free kick. Roll on VAR.
We have had key players out and if Man City win their game in hand we are one point behind.I'm struggling to take any comparison with any side below the top 2 as I feel the rest of the PL has been distinctly average (at best this season - probably excluding Wolves from that). It just always feels that Liverpool are 1 or 2 injuries away from catastrophe, whereas City never seem to miss their key players if they are missing because they have similar quality waiting on the bench. Might just be an outsiders view as I don't follow Liverpool that closely but just how I see it.
Glad they proved me wrong last night though, albeit only just. Takes the title race to the final day no matter what happens with City against Leicester which is great for us neutrals
40 points getting 15th in the premier league is insane - the dominance of the top teams has been particularly evident this year.
