Congrats, Liverpool. What a comeback.

I can't imagine the celebrations in Liverpool right now, or whatever bar Tim is drinking at.

Of course this happens after yesterday. Why would the soccer gods want me to be happy for more than one day?

These European competitions come to Anfield and WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN

Welcome to the new world where Barca just blows 3 goal leads in the Champions League.

What a time to be alive.

I am at work and didn't watch 1 minute. Just been working and following updates. I'm going to sit down with a nice glass of Scotch when I get home to watch the recording though.

I mean, watching the game it didn't feel weird. Liverpool had a plan, Barcelona seemingly did not? They were just relying on Messi magic, and their defending was comical at best. The 4th goal really sums up the entire game and mentality of both squads. Valverde shouldn't really have a job after that performance if I'm being completely honest.

I'd love to be there just to watch your reactions to the match.

Well I would like to personally thank you for calling out Divock Origi the other day. You lit the biggest fire under his ***.

Brahvocado has probably flushed his phone down the toilet as it's flooded by his family members texting him.

Second time they've completely blown a 3 goal lead in the CL under him, roughly in the same manner as well.

Obviously he can't plan for Jordi Alba basically giving Liverpool an assist to open the game, but their entire game plan was really nowhere to be seen. Liverpool barely even had to mark Suarez or the wide players because no matter what they were just trying to get Messi the ball, so all they had to do was triple mark him before he ever received it and that's Barca's entire goal threat neutralized.

If I was Messi I'd be pissed tbh. Even being triple marked all game he was putting ball after ball on a plate for various Barca players only to have them give it away, try to pass it back to him (even if the pass definitely wasn't on), or take an awful shot.

Felt like I was watching Chelsea.

You know, I've been meaning to change my number for a while, now seems as good a time as any.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt after the Roma debacle, but this was nothing short of shambolic. There was no structure to the attack or the defense, it was unreal.
