Yeah it was them, Spurs weren't even playing Roma, they were playing Lazio.

Was it Roma fans who stabbed a couple of Leeds and Spurs fans???

It was Galatasaray fans who stabbed and killed 2 Leeds fans.

This should be a cautionary tale for anyone travelling.

History will show last night to be one of the greatest performances in CL history. For an hour, I have not witnessed a team play better. We were a machine. Relentless. Roma were in shreds.

that dominant period was a masterclass, it will be used as a tutorial to illustrate full team pressing and attacking as a group.
the best 60 minutes of football ever... quite possibly.

It was bad enough in 1984

I vowed then never to go back there to watch us

I know a lot of fans who travel home & away who are swerving this one

^ the replay in that clip totally shows the unheralded work from our midfielders. Roma player has to turn because pass is not on due to Milner. Runs into Henderson hunting him down. Henderson wins the ball nudging it towards Gini who then wins a 50/50. Passing it to Mane on to Firmino who looks for the machine. Then goal.

Just read we've got 44 goals in 11 CL games this season.

Averaging 4 goals a game. Insane.

Bar their two goals that performance was up there with the Notts Forest match.

My eldest lad who's away in college texted me at half time saying he only got to tune in at 30 minutes and thought he was watching highlights of the first half. Said it was all shots and goals!

It was mental wasn't it? If we had been calmer we could easily have been about 8-0 up. They weren't half chances they were all brilliant chances.

5 goals in 35 minutes of playing time.

Slept on it and in reflection I still feel that subbing Mo handed them the initiative, gave them a 20 minute lifeline....shame really that Klopp didn’t leave that sub until at least the 80th minute...anyway it’s done and I fully expect us to win again in Rome

We always seem to lose momentum when Mo gets subbed and the opposition tend to gain in confidence.

Houllier will probably take all the credit if we win number 6.....

Probably thinks the use of the words Allez allez allez is a mark of respect for him

not surprised to be honest it takes 3 players to mark him

[Tee]

Mane, Bobby and Mo could have had hat tricks, plus a couple from Lovren. 8 or 9 would not have flattered us
