You are failing to probability adjust your scenarios. If you risk 3-2, the other results around that possibility like 3-3 or 2-2 are much worse than 0-0. It's better to take such risks when the reward of an away goal is in your favour or else if Lovren has already put us 1-0 down after 10 minutes.

Fair point.

Though every time we try to 'hold the line' we inevitably fk it up so we may as well just try to outscore them.

How many times have people made the 'we've beaten X , so we'll deffo beat Y' claim and regretted it ?
I bet someone did it in the run up to both West Brom games.

I can't wait to see this game, i'm just delighted to see us in a CL Semi again.

As long as that involves us keeping possession in their half and butchering them, then that will do. If we allow them to have the ball in the foolish belief that we're more dangerous when winning it back and countering, then that would open the door up for a 2-2 or 3-3 total balls up.
 
I'm more excited about being in the semi final again then thinking about Roma.
I cant understand why some of our fans are so confident. Roma are a very good side and Italian teams are always hard to beat.
It will be a tough game no doubt.
 
I’m fearing the wife won’t get the beers in and I’ll have fuck all to drink during the game.

I’m not nervous about the game. I’m not expecting us to blow them away and win 2-0.
 
They wil believe they can beat us. Yes, we beat City in the quarterfinals but we had a shit group and Porto before that. They had the group of death and Barca. They’ll fear nobody. I don’t think they’ll be overawed at Anfield either. This could be a very tense couple of games. I think they’ll sit super deep and play us on the counter tonight. Could be a frustrating one. I expect this to be much closer than the soft twats from Manchester.

Spot on. Anyone thinking the Roma team will be overawed by the Anfield Roar is mistaken and our visit to Stadio Olimpico will show why. Roma are on a high and will need a bloody good hiding to dent their belief. I worry that we'll need at least a 3-0 victory tonight to beat them over 2 legs. We'll do extremely well to keep a clean sheet tonight. Expecting Mourinho-esque defending and long balls to bypass our midfield.

Italians are well known as being total fucking fannies. Cars with four reverse gears etc. We won the final in their own stadium. Stop worrying about them, they're shite.

Not worried. I still think we're going to emerge victorious. I just think the route to the final might be more Liverpoolesque than the trouncings of Porto and City.
 
Their captain and vice were both part of side that got beaten over two legs by Sweden to eliminate them from the world cup. A play off they ended up in because they couldn't even beat Macedonia at home.

What more do you want?
 
I hated every minute of the 2 games against City (until 1-1 in the 2nd leg), it was pure agony. I remember the semi final against Chelsea in 2005, I was 42 and it was the first time I actually worried about my health during a game. When that bastard ref gave 6 additional minutes I could hardly catch my breath and when Gudjohnsen flashed THAT ball across our 6 yard box at the very end my legs went weak and I was sweating, panting, dizzy etc.

I'm 55 now, so here's my question.........@Portly @Judge Jules @Vlads Quiff etc i.e. those of my age or older...............how do you deal with the stress of these games?

That's one of the very few foreign stadiums I have been to, to watch the Rome derby.

It was mental. Fights kicking off everywhere. Boss game too, I think it was 3-3.

You either need an old B&W TV or a few bottles to throw at a bus
 
Arse has gone.
Just made lunch for the girls and the smell of it was making my stomach do cartwheels.

This is going to be a tough evening.
