3-0 on either equation dumps us out. Any goal for us in the 2nd leg with 3 to them sees us through.
Bottom line- we need to score away from home but first a clean sheet at home would be good.

Surely the bottom line is more score more goals than Roma over the 2 legs? If you do that then away goals mean fuck all.

No I agree but they haven’t conceded at home so an away goal not a given

It's OK, Mo always scores in that ground.

The boss's interview with the Guardian is a must read. The url gives a good indication of the topics covered:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/apr/23/jurgen-klopp-liverpool-champions-league-roma-mo-salah-brexit

Highlights for me:

Quote

“The whole Liverpool family is not happy with not winning big trophies since whenever – so you always find a reason. ‘The problem is we don’t spend enough.’ Or, ‘The players make mistakes’. So, really, it’s a difficult job to be Liverpool’s goalkeeper. I’m not sure who was the last goalkeeper everybody was happy with here. It would be a while ago. And if you are not Sami Hyypia then your life as a defender is also difficult.

Quote

“They (the British players here) are here because they’re really good – not because they’re English or British. But if you have two players at the same level and one is English and the other is from somewhere else I always go for the English guy. They keep the mood good and for them it’s easy to feel the club’s history. But we have fantastic boys from all over the world and they love the club. Roberto Firmino has such a Liverpool heart. But the English guys lead the group.

Klopp:

"I don't have to tell the people of Liverpool what I want to see in the stadium because they know it already. They are more experienced than we are in these situations. I'm not sure it can be better than the game against Man City but let's try. I don't have to say anything I know the fans will be perfect."

I think we should try to win tomorrow night, and then try and win again next week...and then win one last time in the final.

That's what I'd do anyways

Sorry mate cant find it now. I may have got the wrong end of the stick and misread it. It said for the 18/19 season they are under no obligation to show any free to air games. It might be the channel that is going and things will be aired on social media.
I always thought the final was like a blue riband event like Wimbledon, Open golf etc.

Anyway, hope we are in next years final as well

I don't think that they were ever under any obligation to put them free to air & I cannot see them changing it especially after all the stuff that they started putting up on youtube this season.

They didn't put the semis on showcase last year either did they ?

Red Beret · « **Reply #262 on:** April 23, 2018, 06:16:32 pm »

Trying not to brick it. Can't see us repeating our clean sheet heroics this time but I'd be happy with a win of any sort. Takes a lot to stop us scoring this season - unless it's Everton and we can't be arsed.

Reckon they'll get a goal at Anfield, plus two at their place. So all we need to do it score more. Easy.

Anyone who does it this time is a complete shithouse and scum bag. Will be putting the guys who go over to rome in danger.

Last time I wasn't fussed because it was the mighty man city, this time their will be repercussions if it was to happen.

Or maybe they'll stay at Alder Hey abusing the staff.

A few stats on the remaining four teams in this seasons champions league. Best attack best defence.

Liverpool: Total Goals 33, Total Goals Against 7.
Bayern Munich: Total Goals 23, Total Goals Against 8.
Real Madrid: Total Goals 26, Total Goals Against 12.
Roma: Total Goals 15, Total Goals Against 12.

And Records...

Most goals scored in a season
45 from 16 games (av. 2.81) FC Barcelona 1999/00
41 from 13 games (av. 3.15) Real Madrid CF 2013/14
36 from 13 games (av. 2.77) Real Madrid CF 2016/17
35 from 12 games (av. 2.92) FC Barcelona 2011/12
35 from 12 games (av. 2.92) Real Madrid CF 2011/12
35 from 16 games (av. 2.19) Real Madrid CF 2000/01
35 from 17 games (av. 2.06) Real Madrid CF 1999/00
35 from 17 games (av. 2.06) Real Madrid CF 2001/02

So Far
33 from 10 games (av. 3.3) Liverpool FC 2017/18

Basically, get the fuck out of our way Roma, we have records to break. 13 goals in 3 matches. Let's fucking go.

So, we've scored the most goals in this season's competition and have conceded the fewest of any of the remaining semi finalists. Not bad eh?

For all the talk about Roma not conceding a goal at home, they've conceded 12 away from Rome so they're not exactly defensively sound are they? I'll take a 4-0 win at Anfield and a 0-0 in Rome and they can preserve their record of not conceding at home.

For city I was shitting myself days and days before the match. Don't feel nervous for this at all, in fact I feel oddly calm, almost like it's a run of the mill game. This doesn't mean anything.

Have to say i'm the complete opposite. I was looking forward to City. We were the underdog and i was exciting if we could pull off something special in Europe again with the understanding if we were beaten then so be it as long as we gave it everything. I'd feel the same if our semi was against the likes of Real, Barca or Bayern. But i'm really dreading this game. We're better than them, we should get to the final so it'll be sickening if we blow it now against Roma. It's like when we throw away points in the league against weaker teams. It's so disappointing and frustrating because you know what we could be if we could stop fucking up and beat who we should beat on paper. The feelings going to be x100 if we blow this opportunity.
