Well hopefully they have used their 9 lives up by then..

Roma can score but Liverpool will score again. There's no defence in Europe that can keep Liverpool out right now.

Roma have to score 3 and throw everything at Liverpool without conceding themselves against the side that's the top scoring team in the champions league.

Again. Brutal. Roma had conceded the least amount of goals at home iirc. Until Liverpool.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Cough....they only scored once in two games v United. ;)

Classic own goal from Milner.:D

As long as Liverpool can keep their first 11/12 fit they will seriously push RM, but a look at the Liverpool bench in recent weeks does not inspire confidence.
There isn’t one player you would want on your bench, never mind on the pitch.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Just to be absolutely precise, Liverpool didn’t even manage to score against United this season, their only goal was a ridiculous swipe at the ball by Eric Bailley that flew past De Gea for an own goal. :p:

Now l wonder what colour rosette Jim will be wearing come the final...:p:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Awful second half for Liverpool. Heads already in the final. Two clear cut penalty decisions which given the final score send Roma through if scored by a clear goal.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

One was a penalty and one was not IMO.

I will always cheer on the British teams when playing Johnny Foreigner.:D

Just have a premonition that the hated ( in Liverpool) CR7 may have the final say.;)

l know that Jim.:D

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Which? The blatant handball or Dzeko being wiped out by the goalkeeper, despite being easily onside. You can scratch one off in favour of the Mane decision but they're both blatant. Liverpool are extremely fortunate not to be out and not to have been down to 9 men. You could dish out a red for the hand, you could dish out a red for the keeper at the Ref's discretion. It's up there as one of the worst refereeing performances since that Chelsea-Barca game.

The way I've got it

3x Penalties to Roma, Clear as day, 1 awarded. - Red card for Alex-Arnold (Questionable Deliberate Handball) Red card for Karius (Ref's discretion, preventing a goalscoring opportunity)
1x Penalty to Liverpool, Clear as day, none awarded - Red card for Florenzi (Easy card all day)

All from someone that's all too happy to root for the English team in Europe.

Liverpool just absolutely bottled that second half, they made the assumption it was job done and they were extremely lucky to come away with that at all. I mean Liverpool could've literally kept scoring, the attack is just that good.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

How was it a blatant handball? as no player could avoid the trajectory of the ball coming at him so quickly.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

It's not about how he can't avoid it, it's about where his arms and thus hands are. His arms are above his head and thrown out. It doesn't have to be deliberate, it's as clear as day.

https://www.clippituser.tv/c/rydmvl commentary sums it up, he makes himself bigger, that's usually the grounds for the sending off.

You literally can't not give that. As for the sending off, Chancel Mbemba was sent off for this against Manchester United in a 3-3 draw. Madrid had a sending off not so long ago for it.

As above, overall it's not even just about Roma, the entire refereeing performance was shocking, you have a clear Penalty for Liverpool from Manolas challenge/push, you have a pretty gobsmacking scissor challenge on Mane that results in just a yellow.
