You would think that they would learn after the first two goals yet they are still defending with a high line. Absolutely awful defensive display by Roma. How did they even get to the semis?!
Champions League Semi Finals (24th April - 2nd May)
- Thread starter Samid

Seemed like it! Mane finally scores... 4th time the charm for him...
It was an astounding performance.
To be fair I had to think that far back. Can't think of many in recent years.
Do teams not do their homework against these cnuts? Thankfully they’ll get pounded in an one off game against good opposition.
Really don’t understand how the players in this Roma side win matches playing this sort of formation and high line.
What an awful side.
What an awful side.
Come on, Jurgen, its time to bring Fellaini in
Roma is embarrassing and that’s offside, just feck off
Why the feck are Roma defending so high? Are they high?
When you imagine that this attack is 'lacking' Coutinho. Jesus.
I've never seen a team commit suicide like this in a CL semi. These defenders are so bad.
To hell with this.
at least a yard offside. Like they need any help.
Can someone give McManaman a glass of water or something?
Compared to Liverpool getting their 6th and doubling our achievements? City's win would have hurt 100x less.
How are Roma continuing with a high defensive lineup against a team thrives on fast players ? Liverpool should thrash them with 5 or 6 goals with such terrible way of defending.
ffeck this shit. How did Roma get so far
What the hell is wrong with these managers? "I know all of those other teams went on the attack and got shit on, but no way it will happen to us".
Playing a back three and high line against Liverpool is possibly the worst tactical decision I've ever seen in the Champions League. fecking ridiculous. Roma should be done for match fixing.
I hope Madrid make it through. I can see this Liverpool side beating Bayern.
Unbelievable that Roma didn't make any tactical changes at the half. Persistent with the high line.
Roma playing suicide football ala Arsenal
Was Schalke this bad back in 2011?
Can’t bear to watch this anymore. The sound of the kop is pissing me right off.
Shows why pragmatic managers win trophies. They don't go gung ho regardless of the opposition
Barca don't play long balls. Roma would genuinely struggle in the Championship judging by the way they defend.
Idiotic stuff from Roma
An away goal can change the picture of this game. But, yeah, Roma look pathetic.
So final score predictions?
I'm going with 5-0.

Ando scored twice against them, they could be worse!
Barcelona threshold reached.
They were pretty awful. Anderson and Gibson dominated them for Christ's sake
If only it was fecking dry
Because they mostly play against slow paced shit in Serie A, slow build up, nothing to prepare them for the aggression, pace and direct play of Liverpool. Totally exposed, they are a team of slugs.
Hope Madrid and Bayern are watching this! Exactly how not to play against this Liverpool team...
Worse than Valverde's decision to sit back and not attack this lot?
Both insane, right enough.
Has Nainggolan completed a pass yet?
I wonder if Harry Kane will claim a goal on the basis that the surname is only one letter different?
Good job it's UEFA in control, the FA would give it to him.

Fecking homer ref. Hasn't given Roma anything, not that they needed it against this shit Roma side.
Offside third goal, two fouls in the build up to their first.

Please pull a crystanbul.
You can use all your "phase of play" nonsense all you like, but it's still a long ball over the top to runners beyond the defensive line. And read what I said: I'm not criticizing them for it—I even said fair play to them—but what astounds me is that your lot complain when other teams do this!
3-0 Mane
shit cnuts
4!
Wonder if Ollie Holt still thinks Jose should have had a go at Anfield.
From those 3, I'd prefer Bayern to win it. But I agree.
Salah is taking the piss
