Who will go through
Re: UCL SF2 17/18 | Liverpool Vs AS Roma
UEFA Champions League @CHAMPionsLeague
Record! James Milner becomes the 1st player in #UCL history to record 9 assists in a single campaign.
Obviously the guy doesn't know his football imo
Hope the lad is convinced now.

Apparently only 2 players have ever scored 2 and assisted 2 in a Champions League semi-final.

Great post.
The reason why it works for us because VVD and ATA are absolutely world class passers of the ball.
A single ball from them starts attacks as Firmino drops back to receive it while sucking 1 or both the CB's into midfield while Mane and Salah make that inward run into that space. Then its just 1-2s through Firmino and our midfielders and we have already reached outside the box.
You just can't defend against it unless your defense is so deep that Salah and Mane can't run anywhere.

This is really a feature of Liverpool's game that I think every Roma fan (myself included) slept on in our discussion/analysis of this team before this match. We knew your team is fast in attack, we know they can be combative in midfield and just about all we knew about your defense is that your CBs are tall and prone to errors, your full-backs have pace, but are rather inexperienced and your keeper is average, but has nice hair.
Lost in all that, is a pretty underrated ability (at least to non-BPL fans) to build from the back and just slice and dice with those long balls. That tactic gets a lot of hate (hoofball, route-one, etc), but if the coach picks the right time to use it, it can be very effective. Klopp is rightly getting praise for recognizing that this tactic will work well and implementing it immediately. In contrast, it took EDF nearly 40 minutes longer to do the same, which resulted in our 2 goals (it's not lost on me that they came after Salah's sub). I was just in another thread prior to this game praising his ability to be versatile and change the style of play when it needed to be and then he goes and makes a liar out of me . He's improved a lot in loosening up his tactical rigidity, but he's got some work to do still clearly.
The silver lining here is that Liverpool showed us exactly what they can do at their best. We know their full measure now, but because we were so bad for so much of this match, I don't think they know ours just yet though. Result aside, I hope we show them in Rome.

Yeah it's surely not over. We had the same condition vs City in the second leg and we conceded early as well.
It'll be a great game, I just hope we turn up and Roma doesn't get the chance to come back for the third time in the competition.

Any chance for Roma tonight? Well, obviously not.
Ps. Their fans are thugs. Afaik, the Liverpool fan who was attacked remains basically brain dead in hospital. Also, LFC instructed their 5,000 travelling fans not to walk to the stadium under any circumstances.

Yes , nothing new under the sun.
I remember even Roma and Lazio ultras joined forces each other so as to attack Tottenham fans

Done and dusted. I would rest players for the Goat League match against Chelsea this Sunday if I was Klopp.

Need to ensure we don't concede first half. It took City just 2 mins to break through us last time.

Well, it's not good. Some German keeper is starting for us. You know how they can be.

I like that they have to write Lo. Pellegrini because they have 2 players named L. Pellegrini now.

Is Nainggolan the most overrated CM in recent years? What exactly has he done to reach his status? Ps. Good riddance, Roma.

It's widely accepted he's fallen off this season but the last several years he has been very good. Seems his time is up already though. Quite a short prime.
