Liverpool vs Roma Match Thread CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

[Rosco]

Now they know who to target in our defense for the 2nd leg.

Yeah, nobody knew Lovren was a liability before the game

 

[Oncy]

Love it. Brilliant result.

The one ball over the top cost us, and the pen that wasnt a pen, but we have gears they know they cant live with.

Im happy with it.

 

[Red Bird]

Gifts, both goals.

 

[Mystic]

This is a worse scoreline than the 4-1 Roma overturned. Not happy.

 

[Markeh]

Now they know who to target in our defense for the 2nd leg.

Is it as simple as that? Feels like the pattern was set, kicking ass and not having a care in the world at the back. The defense (particularly Lovren) don't seem to be able to cope with a change in the game.

 

[Shadey]

They got well and truly fucked over and they’ll get the same over there.

 

[The Nomad]

Fuck.. 5-0 we are in the final
5-2 a glimmer of hope.

No way is that a pen but fuck. Lovren needs to go. He's a liability.

I think we'll score next week. But we certainly gave them a lift.

 

[manwithnoname]

Amazing. I can feel deflated and nervous, despite scoring 5 goals.

Only Liverpool

 

[keniget]

Amazing performance but as soon as Salah went off and we decided to take our foot off the gas, we didn't quite know what to do.

We had the tie in the bag pretty much and fucked it at the end. Gutting.

Still, we'd have all taken that before the game started.

I'm guessing Roma won't be going 3 at the back with Kolarov randomly hanging around the half-way line in the second leg.

Can't believe their manager let that carry on for as long as it did.

 

[Holle]

I fucking hate Lovren.

 

[RedStar]

A 3 goal lead going into the 2nd leg, id take that all night long. Theres no way we are not scoring in Rome

 

[gkmacca]

I feel so fucking frustrated and dejected.

The tie was pretty much won and we've gone and given Roma a chance and a load of belief that they can turn it around.

Fucking stupid.

We can score there, and it's a massive ask for them to score enough. Only we could sound negative after this performance and this result. To hell with the two goals conceded, if we start again with the right mentality. great.

 

[Y1]

2 goals conceded. But 5 for us. What a game. We must defend better and nick in a couple of goals at the second leg. Game is still on. YNWA.

 

[manwithnoname]

Nobody else has

 

[Oncy]

Nobody else has

Nobody else has Salah and Firmino dude.

 

[Hansern]

This is a worse scoreline than the 4-1 Roma overturned. Not happy.

Its not, its basically the same.

 

[KopRed]

The moment when you turn on ESPN.com and see

LOVREN IS A PERFECT DEFENDER - KLOPP

 

[FoxForceFive]

I see that 'no goals conceded at home' stat as a fucking challenge. And I'd bet my mortgage that Mane, Salah & Firmino will do as well.

There's no way it holds up against our lot.

Hard not to be disappointed by conceding two almost unnecessarily, but it's still a great result & we should still go through.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Feels like a loss.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

a 5-2 win and it feels like a loss.

I sincerely hope this is the final life Lovren has used with Klopp ... horrible mistake to give Dzeko his goal.

Roma were shit, we were phenomenal from 20-75 and were nowhere to be found from 0-20 and 75-90.

 

[Mystic]

Its not, its basically the same.

It's ever so slightly worse.

 

[Hansern]

You shouldnt even be allowed to be frustrared after winning 5-2 in a CL semi final.
But how fucking bad will it feel if we lose 3-0 or 4-1 in Rome. That will take years to get over.

 

[gene hughes]

This team always seems to pop out a little turd at the moment of climax.

 

[gkmacca]

Feels like a loss.

Bloody hell.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

But ina winning loss type of way.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Looked like a cruciate ligament injury.
Reminded me of Lucas injury against City.

I'm hoping it's a strain or something.

 

[Modo]

Ok, Roma isn't winning against us just by showing up. They will have to score 3 goals and to do that they will have to attack. What does that mean? High line.

 

[Oncy]

Fuck sake guys. We battered them for 80 minutes.
Two scruffy goals dont change that.

Imagine they were 2 nil up and we scored 5 unanswered.

If we won 1-0 tonight we would be mederately happy.

We are THREE goals up. And their defence is shite.

 

[Jerry Laser]

Great win....

No need to be downbeat....

We fucking smashed them

 

[Modo]

I'm hoping it's a strain or something.

Didn't Luis Garcia also overextended his knee? That's what I saw. He's done.

 

[gkmacca]

Start fast, score early, push on. I'm more frustrated that we didn't convert more chances than we conceded - we could easily have scored seven or eight in a semi-final - that's a phenomenal performance.
