To be fair 2 Months is a long time, especially in Football. we are showing signs that we are beginning to tick now, and am sure there are very few Barca fans that are happy about being drawn against the mighty Liverpool FC.

Remember this is the same Barcalona that didn't exactly cover themselves in glory against a ten man Arsenal side earlier this year, the same Barcalona side that needed the introduction of Larrsson and 2 late goals to win.

No doubt this is a difficult tie, but just think, if we come through this who else in the draw is there for us to fear.

we are LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB

Personally, I think it's a great draw.An easy tie,so too speak,invariably instills a little complacency in some players and has disastrous effects on the whole team.i.e. Benfica last year,Bayer Levekusen a few years ago.Meeting Barcelona is the kind of adrenalin rush that all players can't help but respond too.

i predict

0-0 at barca

1-0 at anfield

A lot depends on Rafa's attitude towards the 1st leg. If we try 1 up front playing for a draw we could get hammered. I hope he has learnt from Benfica last year and doesnt be negative.

The Group stages dont really mean that much. They got though and thats all what really matters.

Barca aint cantering in La Liga but La Liga is a very strong league and the fact they are top means they are doing just fine. Lets not forget they have had no Eto, or Messi for weeks.

Eto will be back by Feb and Gudjohnson is actually doing very well at the moment.

We defiantly can compete and can win however the 1st leg is what matters and we must try to score away goals as they are more than capable of scoring at Anfield.

Keeping it tight at the Nou Camp is exactly what we have to do!

The formula Rafa has used in Europe is tried and trusted. Play safe away from home and more attacking at home.

I will not be concerned at all if we play one up front at the Nou camp. The key is to keep defensively tight and flood the midfield to break up Barcelona's midfield attack.

Playing an attacking formation at the Nou Camp will be a quick route out of the champions league.

i think we all need to say that this will be a final in itself.

What do u reckon will be the best line-up against barca?

I reckon...............

Reina

Finnan....Carra.....Agger...Riise

Garcia.....Gerrard.....Xavi.....Gonzalez

.........Kuyt.......Bellers.......

What u reckon...??

Tried that at Benfica and got punished. Scoring an away goal is vital.

I am not saying go there and be totally attacking however we have to be positive. Barca are not invincible and you can score goals past them however that requires a positive attitude.
