I know manolas is supposed to be just about the worlds fastest center back and he looked like it vs barca also i agree dzeko is going to be a monster, liverpool haven't done well with big strong center forwards this year and, well bewbies fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Apr 23, 2018 |

He isn't as bad as he was at Spurs though, I remember that.

I was in Rome this weekend and had a chat with my Sisters boyfriend (who is a massive Roma fan) and he's in full on conspiracy mode. He doesn't understand how they can be doing so poo poo in the league but be beating some of the best teams in Europe.

In fairness a lot of these are absolute crap, and it’s surprisingly difficult to find decent write ups about formation and tactics with google.

Well, apologies for my shitpost from earlier, to try to atone here are 2 articles in my google news feed that I thought had some decent Roma info https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.c...ps-how-to-watch https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/5-things-liverpool-fans-need-know-about-roma?page=0%2C1

Gigi Galli posted:They play a 4-3-3, though they played with a three man backline against Barcelona since they needed to score goals. The biggest mismatch I see is that Dzeko is loving Big and has plenty of Premier League experience. Manolas and Fazio are both pretty fast but not faster than Salah and Firmino, in my opinion. If Klopp has done his homework he'll know that Roma has lots of players that are prone to meltdowns (Nainggolan, De Rossi, etc) so aggravating them will probably be a good mental strategy. Firmino has a lot of great qualities but speed isn't one of them. Mane, Salah and Ox on the other hand... I agree about the midfield situation but that's really not our game at all. We have no wind up merchants or slightly dirty players. A lot of our players run with the ball so this should result in a few fouls though. I'm far more confident against the likes of Dzeko with VvD in the side. Although they'll almost certainly try to attack down the right hand side. loving nervous to be honest lads. I don't even really look forward to games like this.

Playing in the CL is really messing up our plan of qualifying for the CL, so I hope we lose the CL. Nah we're gonna win La Sexta. It's destiny boys.

I think Liverpoo will win, if the version of Liverpoo that can show up for big game shows up. I think it might be your year, Poos.

I have a feeling Roma will be able to stifle the Liverpool attack and try to wait for counters resulting in a kind of boring match with maybe one goal late on either way, just a poo poo who cares poster's hunch.

Did Liverpool have a "welcoming party" for the Roma bus or did they realize they'd get 10x worse in the 2nd leg and chicken out?

They did, it was fine, then a group of Roma fans decided to attack an old man with belts. I'm not joking: https://twitter.com/JNorthcroft/status/988842254486863872
