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

[Fredo]

One thing that is over looked with the way we play is tiredness.

If we had any sort of bench at all Klopp would have surely put the likes of Lallana on, or Gini (who had to come on after ten minutes). We play at such a high tempo it will allow teams to come onto us as we regroup. We just dont have the squad to shore things up.

We literally have three fit midfielders now. And nobody though Milner would be a guaranteed starter, he has performed to an incredibly high level.

A booking for the likes of Henderson in the semi second leg would be brutal.

I've touched on that before and that's what I don't understand (playing at a high tempo for long periods). We need to keep the ball better and slow it down for half of games. That would allow us to save energy and see us through games better than we've done. I hate to say it but Man United are better at this than us - both ball retention and game management.

Our DNA is to play on the front foot, so I'd hate to reign us in too much but we need to be pragmatic when 5-0 up with 10 mins to go. We leave ourselves work to do when things should have been wrapped up. The West Brom game on Saturday was another case in point.

We would have loved to be able to field a reserve team for Saturday but this is not gonna happen.

A booking wouldn’t impact the final. Only a red would.

Is that right? I thought two yellows was a suspension?

That is good news.

With Salah it was 5-0, without him it was 0-2... how we ever gonna cope if gets injured?

We take a 3 goal lead and the best attack in world football to Rome and are 90 minutes away from a champions league final.

Let that sink in. If it has been 3-2 with 10 minutes to go and we won 5-2 we'd be buzzing.

Three, and they were wiped after the quarters.

It's my understanding that you can only get suspended via UEFA rules with 3 cards in 3 separate games........post the quarters, after which your yellow record is wiped, and seeing as how there's only the three games left, the only way to get suspended is with a red or a retrospective ban.

Suspensions won't be our concern......having a fit first XI will.

One less thing to worry about FTW
