This is it!

The Semi Final of the Champions League! OMG OMG OMG!

Despite our defensive **** show against West Brom, we'll have our first team back four and I'm confident we'll play better. Bodies will be on the line and 100% effort is a given.

-------------------

Liverpool's top scorers (all comps) -
Mohamed Salah - 41
Roberto Firmino - 25
Sadio Mane - 17
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 5

Roma's top scorers (all comps) -
Edin Dzeko - 20
Stephan El Shaarawy - 8
Diego Perotti - 7
Cengiz Ünder - 7

Haha combined, Roma's players above have only scored one more than Salah!

Tremendous work

[danperkins]

Roma won 3 nil today easy game away to the mighty Spal, rested Dzeko, De Rossi, Gerson, Florenzi and few regulars & got no injuries.

[Liverpool]

Picks itself, just who misses out in the middle. Gini for me.

[Buzzo]

Absolutely no question the line up is:

Karius

Alexander-Arnold
Lovren
Virgil
Robertson

Milner
Henderson
Oxlade-Chamberlain

Salah
Firmino
Mane

WTF is going on with Roma's badge? First I've ever looked at it properly.

Yeah I was looking at that and thinking the same.

[McDermotX]

Erm.......Romulus and Remus.

Foundation of Rome etc

[Exiled_red]

Makes sense. I had never seen a large version of the badge, I had always just thought that the badge just had the wolf, I'd never noticed Romulus and Remus on there as well

[McDermotX]

Aye......it's just a design of The Capitoline Wolf



Still weird mind you , but it is at least representative of their city, so no different than us TBH.

[Exiled_red]

Yeah I'm familiar with the Capitoline Wolf, and Rome. I just for whatever reason never connected that with football and Roma

They may be the weakest of the four teams left in the CL, but they are not a bad team. They will be able to come into the semi final as the underdog and with people expecting them to lose so less pressure on them as a result.



We need to take advantage of the fact they travel poorly in the CL and rack up a convincing lead because the one place they have choked under pressure this season is when they play at home in the CL.


Having said all of that, if we play as we know we can, then we can beat them home and away and lay down a very big marker for the final.

[McDermotX]

Felix Brych in charge for the first leg.

Good......relatively speaking.
