I was just in the midst of writing that Roma losing the ball in their own half was more worrying than their defending until the 5th.

Henderson and Milner have been quality

We put five past a team that in their last showing beat Barca 3-0. 1FF analysis: they’re shit

TAA has been great again, although not had much to do so far. What a fantastic little player he's turning out to be. And a scouser too.

He’s fucking nuts. There hasn’t been a player not named Messi and Ronaldo on this level for a decade. Now one season isn’t the same as ten, but this is literally there, where you thought only they could be.
He’s clearly having an amazing season but I’d suggest Suarez and Bale both had amazing seasons too which were comparable. And that’s just in England. But I’m not gonna argue if you think he’s been better - I can’t be arsed frankly. :)

For fuck sake. I was going to say we were looking a bit sloppy. Talk about spoiling the fucking night.

Lovren with some defending straight out of the Romanesque school.

Liverpool are fine as long as they don’t concede another. 5-1 is solid, 5-2 is iffy.

Hmm 5-2 isn’t so good. Obviously still Liverpool’s to lose but less certain than it was.

Our 3-0 was only just offside so it evens out really.

Play at 100mph, score five, die by the 75th minute and concede at least two.

No, no, no.

Play at 80mph, score four, retain some stamina and see out your lead.

I should be a manager.

Have Liverpool been told to make the 2nd leg mean something ?

Well it keeps us on our toes anyway.

Still a healthy 3 goal lead, and we'll probably score there, so still comfortable, but not as much as it should've been.

For fucking fuckity fuck sake. Not many teams can look as amazing as us and as shite within a matter of minutes. :lol:

Typical bastard Liverpool, in total control with 10 minutes to go, then concede two stupid goals and it's twitchy arsehole time to stop a 3rd. It's the West Brom game all over again, twice on the fucking bounce. If they'd have gotten a 3rd away goal the 2nd leg really would have been 50/50.

Still confident that a single away goal in Rome will be enough, and I don't believe we will go there and not score. Despite what they did to Barcelona and the last twatting 10 minutes of this game I'd say we can stop them scoring 4. But this has taken the shine right off the fucking match and night after absolutely cruising at 5-0 and looking to make it more.

We’re three up in the semifinal of the champions league. Feels like only last year we were drawing away at Young boys in the Europa league.

I have this uncanny feeling that it’s Roma, not us, that are having an amazing run though.

Either way what a fucking time to support this club

These situations don't come round often and we are in a good position. Obviously work still needing done after that last 10 mins has shown, but it is our first win in 7 attempts in a European semi, so still all good.

While it's two good shouts, Salah just got two goals and two assists in a semi-final of the Champion's league. Everything Suarez did he's matched and then some and I genuinely can't think of a single argument to say Bale's wonderful final season was better.

Looking at the penalty decision again, fucking ridiculous. No way would Milner do anything about it. C**t of a ref.

What is truly amazing though, is how Klopp manages to produce this kind of performance over and over again. A sort of highest level that just no other team comes close to. It can't be produced over 90 minutes, but it can be switched on in a way that is bordering at will from the German.

This season alone we saw it against City at home, the unbeaten and by a distance best side in the country, going 4-1 up and it felt fucking unbelievable. Then we do it against City in the first half of the first leg, going 3-0 up and again, it felt genuinely unbelievable. Then we do this, go 5-0 up against Roma. And today wasn't even the first time in the semi final of the Champions League, he beat Real 4-1 in the first leg and it was the same bloody thing.

Obviously it costs a lot and in several of those games Liverpool came close to losing it. But that certain level that he gets out of his teams at their absolute best, it's baffling.

So Bilo, do you think a single away goal in Rome should do it?

We've been posting on the same board for ten years Pags you don't give a fuck what I think

I have no idea man I'm exhausted. What I will say is this: the footballing gods have a funny way with three-nil deficits. And what Roma did to Barca, followed up with yet another chance to reach their first European final in fucking ages?

I don't know it kind of feels written. Milan wasn't our first three goal turnaround in the second half in 04/05 either.

I'd say we're 10 to 1 to reach the final.

Don't feel bad mate, I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks.

I'm pretty confident, we showed with City we can deal with a home team that has to go balls out on the attack. One goal and they will need 4, I don't think they will do it. Get 2 goals (which wouldn't be at all surprising) and they will need 5 to force extra time or 6 to win. I can't see it. We're favourites but what fucks me off is that ten minutes of football has changed the second leg from a certainty to a likelihood.
