How badly will we get raped by Liverpool?

Liverpool plays every 3 days matches of high intensity
They're dead

If Roma can win 3-0, then Barca can win 5-0

theyre down firmino and salah whereas the entire barca squad is rested

Valverde is smarter than klopp

>Barcelona has a lot of aging players. Pique, Busquets, Rakitic, Messi and Suarez are all 30 and over. That's half the starting XI. Unlike many teams though; Barca's aging squad has tons and tons of technical quality. Forwards have excellent striking and passing technique, midfielders have elite level passing, triangulation and game-reading ability, and the defensive personnel are so adequate on the ball in addition to being defensively capable, that they could play further forward with minimal problems. Last night, Barcelona set up to maximize their strengths (technical excellence and game-readership) and mask flaws (lessened physical capacity for one). And boy, did they do it well.

>I was fortunate to follow Valverde closely when he was at Athletic Bilbao (a team I absolutely adore). I recall Ander Herrera saying that while he's played under Bielsa, Mourinho and Louis Van Gaal; the smartest coach he's ever played for is Ernesto. In his words, "he knows precisely when to attack and when not to."

>Valverde is a pragmatic manager who's very selective in the sequences he allows to play out on the pitch (both with regard to his team and the opponent). What most people don't understand is that being able to control the defensive and offensive sequences of both the opponent and yourself is perhaps the greatest form of control a manager can have. This is regardless of what the possession stats say. Mastering the art of baiting the opponent to concentrate their ball circulation is useless areas of the pitch, and thus have them build up a false sense of confidence and security takes genuine genius. It still hasn't dawned on Klopp and his horde of Liverpool supporters just how badly they were mugged off yesterday. And it's going to happen again next week.

okay but why can't you use a toilet

Didn't read, but Valverde is and always will be a hack.

cause your mother's mouth was full

Don't worry insecure Brazilian, your country will remain more prosperous than India for the next couple of decades.

Valverde was fucking good at Olympiakos.

It's not gonna happen lad, stop fooling yourself

>the better team
>loses 3-0
What does the australian mean by this?

I'm a bit scared, hope we go through

they were the better team for the first 30 minutes and did absolutely nothing.

they are going to get destroyed at anfield.

>the better team always wins

Playing better means jack fucking shit if you're worse at putting the ball inside the goal.

>no Salah
>no firminho
Lmao

The sole objective in association football is to put the playing ball into the opponent's net more often than the opponent can put it into your net. Barcelona did it three times on Wednesday, Liverpool zero times. Thus, Barcelona was the better team in that association football matchup

mental illness

they were the better team only in the second half, and they failed the few attempts they had miserably

he was kind of a hack in knockouts tbqh
