Pool will never get a better chance to beat the Catalans. I wouldnt use the word turmoil but they are not the team they were last year. The Eto'o situation is damaging but Messi is back and has looked sharp.
The "nutter with the putter" mess may have upset Pools plans as Bellamy would be the ideal player V Barca due to his pace and the the fact that Barca conceded 2 on Sunday to a counter attacking Valencia team.

The one huge worry Pool should have is the fact that the most similar team to Barca they have played all year is Arsenal and received a few tankings..

Half an hour gone and Liverpool will do well to go into the dressingroom only 1 down and then anything can happen in the second half.

Terrible goalkeeping by Valdez!

pick it fuckin out.....

cicfada · February 21, 2007, 09:28:51 PM

yeah good goal, you'd have to fancy Liverpool now in the home leg as well.In fact you'd have to fancy all 4 english teams to advance now to be honest.If there was 1 english team that are fickle mentally it's Utd but they are a goal ahead and an away goal as well!

Syd The Sailor · February 21, 2007, 09:37:56 PM

Great result lads, dont think Barcelona will be as bad at Anfield though. I wouldnt swap Benitez for any manager in the world....
