Champions League Semi Finals (24th April - 2nd May)

Why are refs so afraid to book players if they consider them to have taken a dive?
 
Nainggolan trying to track back with Mane

Florenzi mad because he thinks Mane is taking the piss out of Roma. Someone should tell him that Roma are doing a great job of making fools of themselves without Mane's help.
 
Salah must be average too by that logic. You're blinkered

Nope Salah is the reason they are where they are in any competition. On your logic Henderson and Milner must be top class. Robertson is simply nothing special at all.
 
I do think people are overrating Liverpool now. It's not bitterness, Roma are genuinely shite.

Plenty of sides have shown you can stop Salah etc. Madrid might not be in top form this season but if they concentrate in the final, I think they're clear favourites.

Plenty of sides have stopped Madrid this season as well. They are 3rd, I repeat, 3rd in La Liga.
 
The mistake you've made is assuming the winner of the CL is the best team in Europe. It doesn't always work out that way.

I know that very well, I made the argument the other week how this current semi finalist prove the point. Liverpool could win it when they're basically just having a good cup run, and are way way off the pace in the league. Same for Real.
 
to me, Liverpool's game looks too 'basic' to win against Madrid. they will probably score one and that will be it.
 
Liverpool's defending this season has been good? :confused:
No, but they’ve been quite good recently.

I just cannot see Madrid not conceding at least 2 goals. Liverpools attack is so good it’s sickening.
 
Roma are absolutely shit.

Liverpool are destined to win the competition. Madrid’s defending has been atrocious this season.

Been the better team, but can’t defend. Total lack of pace in midfield.
 
The fact that he's getting dominated by Milner says it all. Completely average player, just stands out because he's got a fancy name and neck tattoos.
I wouldn't say he's being dominated by Milner who by the way is a very good, hard working player. Regardless of his name and tats, Nainggolin can be a fantastic player who plays with a lot of heart and skill.
 
Trash argument back because Salah is the only reason they are where they are, as is De Gea for us.

How good do you think Robertson is? Honestly?

Good/Very good. His consistency is remarkable.
 
Plenty of sides have stopped Madrid this season as well. They are 3rd, I repeat, 3rd in La Liga.

They're a different beast in the CL.

They can win that when they're poor in the league.

Just like Milan and unfortunately Liverpool too.
 
Roma are so bad they're entertaining
 
No, but they’ve been quite good recently.

I just cannot see Madrid not conceding at least 2 goals. Liverpools attack is so good it’s sickening.
We are talking about the same Liverpool who couldn't score against Stoke a few days ago? :confused:
 
Whatever their league position is, Madrid for me is the best team in Europe and if they win it with this terrible draw (Spurs and BVB in group, then PSG, Juve, Bayern and Liverpool in KO), no one can question them based on league form in only one season. If any team got similar draws as Madrid this season they wouldn't have stopped moaning.
 
I can't understand how this Roma team made it to the semis. They're so, so awful.
