Love you Dirk, Muak!!!!xxxooo
Words cannot describe the sheer ******** joy I'm feeling right now(actually ever since 4.45am Sin time)!!!!
Everyone was looking at our game thinking that City could comeback, instead they should have been looking at Roma instead!!
What pleased me was the resilience & durability of our side, particularly in the 1st half, because 5 months ago we would have melted under such pressure. Look at Barca last night, they had no response to the pressure Roma put them under. Pure grit & class from the Redmen!!!!
Yes we rode our luck at times, but just as important, Liverpool were clinical in a way City were not; we took chances where our opponents squandered, just three shots on target in 180 minutes for City.
Kudos to Klopp!! That's world class management at work during the half time. Totally different side 2nd half. Reminded the players who they are and what they represent. Boss going foward and rocks at the back.
Big, Big Shout Outs:
Firmino ran his socks off, plus scored a cool goal.
Milner was our warrior general once again, like in the first leg.
Wijnaldum was invisible first half, but second half was a beast who controlled possession really well.
VVD remained cool, calm, in control and dominant notwithstanding the 2nd minute fiasco.
Lovren was heading everything last night and both Robertson & TAA stood strong despite City's onslaught.
Salah looked every bit the messiah when he scored, as he outstaged Jesus
Would also like to give credit to Rio for giving us a chance in this tie where our own ex-players - Souness & Murphy - said City would be too strong for us to handle. That and credit as well to the biggest United personality of all, Fergie, for sounding out the alarm bells when FSG initially appointed Klopp as our manager. SAF appreciates a class talented manager unlike some Liverpool fans in this forum
No one will want us in the Semis, 100% certain of that.
In any event, something special is now brewing at Anfield irrespective of whether we win the thing or not.
Allez, Allez, Allez, the super Reds
P.S.
Liverpool are the first team to beat a side managed by Pep Guardiola three times in a single season.
Salah has been directly involved in 50 goals in all competitions thus far this season (39 goals, 11 assists), 11 more than any other Premier League player.
Our 33rd Champions League goal of the season after last night means that Liverpool have now scored more goals than any other English team has managed in this tournament in a single campaign, overtaking the 32 netted by Manchester United in the 2002-03 season.
Each player's eighth goal last night in this season's Champions League, now makes both Salah & Firmino the joint-most by any player in Liverpool's European tournaments' campaign history, even beating the likes of Dalglish, Rush, Torres, et. al.
