Liverpool vs Roma - Champions League Semi Final (1st Leg)

[Doc_Piptorious]

Perception.

And that Ajax team that won the home leg of the semi 5-2 went on to win the final.

Will take that as a sign for our left back scoring the only goal in the final a la 1981

****in sad about that fella assaulted. Hope he recovers

it was dazzling at times from us. That misfiels is decimated. Need Can back asap of possible. Trent in midfield and Clyne RB might be the shout if worst comes to worst. Thought Gini was excellent when he came on.. hard to know with him sometimes.

I think it will be a more competitive game over there but I will be shocked if we do not score. They have to come out and play and that is bread and butter for us. Annoyed about the first goal and India think pen was very harsh. Ref was getting small decisions wrong all game and he's meant to be one of the best in the world.

we’ll see it through. There’s going to be loads of comparisons with Barca now coz of the 3 goal lead but they picked a stupid, slow team in the 2nd leg and probably got complacent on top of that, we’ll be alright.

They are vermin, it’s going to be utterly horrific over there. I’m horrified seeing people saying they’ve got tickets in their end and people saying they are taking little kids?! I don’t think a lot of the younger ones realise how bad these are, they are animals and the police aren’t any better. They probably only hate Lazio more than us, these atmospheres are the biggest buzz but equally it’s not much fun not being able to stand near the road coz some coward on a bike wants to stab you.

For me, this highlights the lack of squad depth we have.

Lallana, Can, Oxlade-Chamberlain are all out injured. Are you saying we need 7 or 8 first team midfielders in our squad?

Robbo was so close to scoring tonight. It was some block to stop him.

He was in acres a few times - but for some reason we always seem to pass the ball towards the other wing?

we are a completely different animal to Barca.

I don't envy people travelling to the away game either, dangerous *******s they are.

They went from need 6 goals to 3 in 8 minutes. So annoying

[McDermotX]

Four goals in the closing stages of the last two games from excellent positions.

That is very annoying to say the least regardless of the circumstances.
Good thing we are well capable of ****ing anyone up.

Henderson is outstanding

Him winning the ball for the...was it the first or second goal...can't remember now, but he started it all off. Absolutely outstanding. Nicking the ball in vital areas ain't glamorous, but it's massive and he is boss.

[PTP]

Said it before the game

It’s Liverpool and to a degree klopp all over....absolutely sublime with the potential for madness

If we could just add a touch of Benitez we’d be set...he’d never have us 5-0 up like klopp can but he’d never look like conceding two

I’ve felt all season, strong xi on there day will batter anyone in the world but the cost seems to be we wobble at times

We need one or two classy experienced guys capable of calming **** down....gary mac for 30 mins would have been ideal

That said can’t complain, ridiculous performance and will take that result all day! We are mind blowing when good, as good and as exciting as any side I’ve seen

[marcus50bucks]

All it takes is the ref to send off one of our players and then it's squeaky*bum time. I don't want to get excited yet.

Best performance from hendo for a long time, he was brilliant

[Leyton388]

Roma fans are pure filth.

[marcus50bucks]

By the way Salah going off shouldn't have made a difference. What would people be saying if after 89 mins he pulled up with a hamstring injury? Klopp would have been moaned at for not taking him off. He had every right to sub him considering we were 5-0 up ffs. The problem was our in game management was poor and now we have given Roma hope.

I meant more up top. You’re never gonna not drop down in quality from Mo but you still want someone that’ll keep teams on the back foot & punish them if they ain’t. Also Lallana is a permanent crock so yes, he needs replacing.
