    It's going to be an interesting game for sure. The match day thread is going to be on fire.
     
    This will be a tough night. For sure Roma will have watch plenty of footage from home games and will know that just sitting back , soaking up pressure and hoping to grab a goal on the break is the strategy.
    Really , really hope we can convert a couple of chances (that i think we will get).
    We’ve come unstuck too many times when playing home leg first and not killing off the tie.

    Roma will be happy with 1-0 or 2-1 defeat
    We need to aim for 2 goal cushion. 2-0 perfect
     
    We need to camp in their half and really turn up the intensity. Blow them away in the first 30 minutes. High press, lots of turnovers. Then we can counter for the rest of the tie.
     
    Think an easy win tonight. These are in horrendous form and were lucky against Ajax too.

    The teams I thought could be potentially tough games for us have been knocked out by others, which detracts from the spectacle but has all but ensured we'll win this cup.
    2nd place and winning the Europa. That's a lot of moments. Magic.......moments......
     


    Honestly we should walk this competition. If we don't we are officially bottlers after all these years with no trophies and the semi final losses

    I’d prefer it if we went out to end the tie tonight and get about 3 goals, to go to Rome with (if that is where it’s been played?) rather that play it safe..
     
    Easy win here. Place in the final is booked already.

    Yeah was looking at the Serie A table and they seem to have a fair few losses as well.
     
    Am buzzing for this...I hope we don't choke.

    I wish it was that easy...
    Last year we finished third beating all the top sex teams. Now we are second and really struggling to win against the top six...

    I'm really nervous about the game today....

    Needed to correct that! :0) a bit funny though.

    We won't win it, Arteta has the hoodoo over us and Villarreal have Emery (who won all those EL's with Sevilla)

    It doesn’t really work that way, any team can lose a one-off game. We should beat these over two legs though.

    Form counts for little when you reach the semi-final stage of a cup competition. Plus the other 3 sides have nothing to play for in their dopmestic leagues, so they'll go all out to win this trophy for the CL spot it provides.

    We can't take anything for granted.

    Damn. I wish I'd been watching more closely last season. Sounds invigorating.

    Yes obviously it's not how it works but when you are by far the best team you have no excuses.

    Every year it's excuses with us these days. We had the best team last year too.

    I really don't think we should start the McFred pair in this one.

    One or the other not both.
    This for me too.

    Think Roma have a couple of players out and expecting them to be cagey away.

    As long as our FBs are careful and don't both push up together, I'd just play Fred to allow Pogba to come in. Think he's more important than Bruno with a packed tight defence.
