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

[Irrational.]

Roma have started well.

The high line is risky though.

 

[GeorgieBoy]

Your fans had a nasty experience a few years ago didn’t they?

Yeah 06/07 I think. Over-zealous riot police.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

What's better, Pool getting dumped out over two legs or getting to the final and losing?

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Roma have started well

Yeah god knows why teams still persist with a high line v Mane and Salah?!

 

[Irrational.]

Keep an eye on Cengiz Under. Looks like a cracking prospect.

 

[Raoul]

Strootman looking sharpe

What's better, Pool getting dumped out over two legs or getting to the final and losing?

I imagine losing the final on penalties would be the most agonizing.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Ahhh the missing piece to the LvG project, Kevin Strootman is playing.

 

[Irrational.]

Yeah god knows why teams still persist with a high line v Mane and Salah?!

It's playing into Klopp's hands. Unless you can keep hold of the ball.

 

[Klopper76]

Dzeko has the beating of Lovren in the air.

 

[Captain Obvious]

Come on you white cnuts!

their shirts

 

[RedCurry]

Dzeko is right on Lovren for every long ball much like Lukaku. They've done their homework.

 

[Klopper76]

Linesman’s breaking every flag!

 

[Ban]

Nice and easy there Roma, don't fall into their trap.

 

[adexkola]

Yeah god knows why teams still persist with a high line v Mane and Salah?!

Because playing a low block restricts how you can hurt the other team?

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Roma's high defensive line is remarkably stupid.

 

[Irrational.]

Liverpool come close. Signs are not good.

 

[Captain Obvious]

ahh Florenzi. The Fifa God of Rbs

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

How's he missed?!

 

[Peanut Butter]

Because playing a low block restricts how you can hurt the other team?

Not necessarily, Pep

 

[Samid]

Linesman needs to get a fecking grip.

 

[Klopper76]

How many UEFA employees does it take to fix a flag?

 

[Irrational.]

Why has the linesman got a wand in his hand?

 

[broccoli]

Linesman playing Zorro? Wtf

 

[Canagel]

What's wrong with this linesman?

 

[adexkola]

Not necessarily, Pep

If I was Pep I wouldn't be here. As it stands we're 2 amateurs posting online. I'm not the one presuming to know more than Roma's coaching staff.

 

[Peanut Butter]

Roma playing far too offensive...why? I was so sure they'd adapt

It’s bizarre - it’s like some managers are to proud play with a little pragmatism at times.

Sit deep, frustrate Liverpool and hit balls over their press. Simple.

 

[OldSchoolManc]

He’s going to Expelliarmus Liverpool.

 

[Luffy]

How many UEFA employees does it take to fix a flag?

More than it takes to fix a match.

Sorry Pep.

 

[Irrational.]

Fecking stupid from the Roma CB.

The last thing you want to be doing as a CB playing against Liverpool is dribbling with the ball.

 

[Aboutreika18]

They'll probably start the first 5-10 minutes with a high press and then drop deeper as the game goes on.

 

[Ban]

sounds like Pep usually. Always hated him at Bayern for his stubborn approach.

It isn't offensive, when they're defending they're deep but attack in numbers. It's all about getting back quickly enough.

 

[RW2]

Completely different game because that spoofer Guardiola is not the opposition manager.

 

[Jacko21]

Roma need to make the ball stick.

 

[Klopper76]

Lively game this.

 

[whatwha]

unintentional from Vvd? Then why was he looking right at Nainggolan's leg...

 

[broccoli]

Roma is defending well so far. It doesn't matter if it's high or low block.

 

[PoTMS]

Roma are playing too offensively for my liking particularly considering they have a entire second leg to play their football.

 

[Red00012]

Roma don’t intend on sitting back anyway
