We failed to take our chances, and this lot regardless of the scoreline are there for the taking, wait till next week everyone, don't lose hope.
 
Well that is all on Klopp, totally to blame with a bizarre team selection.

I now see why everyone thinks he won’t win us anything...

He may not do, but he makes it exciting for all, and takes to these finals and semi-finals, and 2nd in the league. We are competing.

Think that's complete bollocks, we had chances, just didn't take them, that's got fuck all to do with the selection unless you think Firmino was definitely fit to play the full match, which I don't buy for a second.
 
Think about the theatrics they came out with tonight. Now multiply that by 10. Next week, the ball won't be live in play for more than 10 seconds at a time with all the stoppages.

First goal was a mistake, second was a stroke of luck, third was brilliance. We missed three or four really good chances and outplayed them for much of the game. I don't think we did much wrong besides miss our chances (which is obviously the most important thing)

We’ve just been beaten by an average team, we only lost due to his idiocy...

First came from the right because Gomez was out of position.
Second was because of Gomez - shouldn’t have started.

Kloppo fault trying to be too smart.
 
I think Klopp was trying to be too clever with his tactics and the Wijnaldum and Gomez selections didn't really work. Time after time the attack stalled when Gomez had the ball at his feet in an advanced position and the only thing i can remember Wijnaldum doing was dummying the ball for Milner to have a shot. I'm sure we'll have a go at Anfield but this is too much to claw back without an away goal.

I fully despise these twats after tonight’s performance by their players, Suarez can go fuck himself.
 
Not sure why people are blaming Gomez. He had no cover in front on him. First goal was due to Alba not being closed down by a midfielder + an excellent run from Suarez. Second was a few unfortunate breaks that went their way. Third was a freak free kick. Im a huge fan of Trent but don't think he would have stopped any of the goals.
 
Had our chances - never took them, so this is the result, we accept and think about Newcastle. Players will be depressed after that because for the most part we were in control of that game. They really need to shake this shit off their head before the Newcastle game. Fucks sake.

We conceded 3 - 2 because of Gomez therefore Klopps fault.

I didn’t say we didn’t create but we looked well off it with too many stupid changes due to being too smart for your own good. Gini isn’t and never will be a false 9, the less said of Gomez the better they are the two biggest factors in tonights score.

I think Trent would have created more and be more useful on the break. Gomez is not a FB. He's a (very good) CB.

I for one wasn't having a go at Gomez defensively as i think the first goal is Van Dijk and Matips responsibility, neither of them had Suarez marked and neither reacted when he made the run. My point about Gomez and the difference between him and Trent is how poor he is going forward. I think Alexander arnold would have caused them a lot more problems with the ball than Joe did.
 
The mistake was playing Gomez tonight and not against Huddersfield.

The positives are we had them camped back for huge spells of the game and our finishing was shite.

Negatives are they can attack with such pace we would need a miracle to keep a clean sheet.

To get through we will need the a night that would top any other European night. Just hit them hard and early. I could be classed as a happy clapper and I’d put our chances at 10% of getting through.

Why do people always look for a scapegoat? Its like people need to boil it down to one person or one reason. I would have played Trent and Firmino personally but that is not the reason we lost. Gini was very quiet in Bobby's roll and Wilson wasn't as savvy as Trent on the ball but the score line is 3-0 because they scored some of their chances and Messi is a freak. Milner, Mane and Salah should have scored for us. Relatively easy chances. Sadly they didn't score and it's very disappointing.

Totally agree. But we did create chances. We didnt take them. Some on here seem to be focussing on hypothetical chances we might have had if Trent played. Barca would have targeting Trent if he had played and plenty on here would be saying he needed a break.
