Well Salah's goal haul is attributed by many to be a product of the "front 3", I'm not convinced myself. An off form Salah or no Salah and we're fecked IMO.

I got them at 9/1 yesterday



I feel dirty doing it but best case scenario, we're in a CL final.
Worst case scenario I have some cash to help ease the pain

You should have split your 40euro bet on to multiple correct scores that would see Roma through.

Like 20euro on Roma win 3-0 is 22/1 and 4-1 is 33/1

Is it time to hit the pub yet, got to laugh at all those saying this Champions League is Liverpool's to lose

Tusky

What's the latest on injuries?

Hope we get the job done tonight, the thought of going out is heartbreaking.

Most people saying that are not Liverpool fans. They are opposition fans hoping to use that sentence against us if we don't win it.

The same rubbish happened in our almost year. Every opposition fans congratulated us and said the league was ours to lose. Only to use those words to mock us.

We will however be in the final

marklazarcovic

I hope all the fans return home tonight/tomorrow relatively unharmed and happy.

Anyone see the rumours on twitter Henderson is injured
 Probably nonsense but I did notice not pics of him running with the lads in the training pics, Just one of him stood beside Jurgen ,,

Maybe he got Buvac's job...

Mané is too hot and cold for my liking. Needs to be the floating backup next year. We can definitely upgrade him.

I think Salah is better than a 31 year old Suarez at this point. You could probably make a decent case for Firmino as well. Suarez only scored 1 goal in 10 games in Europe this season. He's still great but he's probably slightly on the downward slope of his career.

His work rate and pace are vital to how we play  , The front 3 are perfect for each other no need to mess that up

MD1990

Firmino's season this year is not that far off Suarez level of 13/14.

Not as many incredible goals but his all round play & 27 goals is nearly just as good.

There has been some funny sh1t posted on here over the last few days.

Suarez scored 31 PL goals in 33 PL games.

Gini was great in the presser

No way. He's so direct and provides so much space for Salah/Firmino. He's not as clinical as the others granted but scores important goals and I wouldn't swap him for anyone else.

He does have more poor patches, even within games, than Bobby or Mo, but letting him play through those is what brings him into his purple patches. Dropping him for a period could set him back greatly.

But yes, we will have to sign someone who can step in better than Ings and Solanke, although Woodburn and Wilson will play a part next season IMO...

I agree while he is not a clinical in front of goal as the others for ye, he is essential to how the front three operate and how the opposition defend, having both Salah and Manes pace on either side really stretches defences and the opposition cannot double up so to speak on Salah. I’m not sure there would be a replacement out there as quick and intelligent in their runs to be an upgrade.

MD1990

I would get Zaha in as another forward option.

Would be a similar signing to Mane in 2016.

We seems to have a squad of level headed young men,
 I know people will think because I'm a Liverpool fan I'm biased but the likes of Lingard  and Pogba with there stupid dancing and acting like kids in every interview doesn't sit well with me, There grow men ,
I suppose Moreno and Bobby do there bit of acting the maggot .

it'll be a good complaint to have but it will be a long 3 weeks to the final if we get past tonight

Sorry but no. It is nowhere near close enough.

Zaha would cost 50m at least (Mahrez money basically) and yes he has been very effective for Palace charging down the flanks but I suspect if you asked him to look after the ball in tight situations for link up pass and move he'd be far less effective. Also I hate that Rasta variation on the Duane Dibbley hair cut.

Need every minute to fix up a few of the squad.

gafferino

I'd happily take Zaha. He has been having a very good season and think in the hands of Klopp he could go up a few levels.

Turtyturd

Tonight I’d love to hear...’Roma hadn’t conceded at home in the Champions league this season...it’s taken Liverpool less than five minutes to find the back of the net.’

I don't think Zaha would suit us, He's very skilful and off the cuff , hes a great player for Palace but raw if you get me he kicks the ball into space and goes after it , 
We need someone who works well in tight space and is better at link up play , Id love Douglas Costa but no hope

I'd be just as happy to hear "Roma are the first team to stop Liverpool scoring an away goal in the Champions League this season, but that makes no difference as they could not score themselves either".

Muahahaha

I like Zaha too but it has been said that he is a messer like Sakho so Klopp wouldnt entertain him. He is excellent at pressing and hounding defenders though, it is clear that he would slot in nicely to our style of play.

Personally I'd like to hear 'Breaking News: ScarJo will be dropping over to corwill"s gaff with a case of Beavertown Neck Oil to polish off a 13" meat-feast on the final whistle', but each to their own.

On the way home from work and going to straight to get a drink as my nerves can not handle this match

Liverpool have proven time and time again that having a multiple goal lead means nothing as we are more than likely to concede those same amount of goals in a late 10 minute window.

Iang87

Funny old game all the same. Sure i've felt nothing but dread since last week and the thoughts of 3 weeks of thinking about nothing but the final keeping me from sleep and any productivity in my daily life but jesus lads I wouldn't change it for the world.

NapoleonInRags

I think the referee will have a huge role tonight....especially if they come out kicking. Let's hope he has a bit of backbone...

Sofa Spud

Jaysus, the nerves...
The main thought about tonight - apart from all the obvious of how the back deal with long balls into the big fella/can we boss midfield etc - is can they keep it together mentally if Roma do get lucky early on.

We could have a whole thread dedicated to games where we threw away a lead - it's only 1.5 weeks since the West Brom match alone - and so, cliched as it sounds, their mental strength in a hostile environment is just as crucial as everything else, whether its dealing with an early set back or staying focused when in a commanding position...

murpho999

Really think the WBA game has no bearing on anything tonight. Different defence and team playing with first leg on their mind. It had an impact.

yourdeadwright

Imagine the nerves if it was 1-1 , I'm bricking it at 5-2

We need a strong ref. The first bad tackle needs a yellow. Then watch them panic that a second yellow means missing a final if they make it...

Harry Palmr

Tis a sign!



and another sign!



and another sign

patsy sally

Ok, fair point about the Baggies match, but how often are there posts about being 2 or 3 up and still being nervous about blowing it? Yeah, absolutely, we've had dodgy defensive errors but there's also a mental aspect to it - they are both linked - and if we want to see concrete evidence of progression into a team that are consistent and can maintain control when in a leading position, then tonight's the night

I'm less nervous now as van Dijk is commanding the back line and Robertson is there too.

Our defence has improved dramatically since January, look at the stats.

They are more confident now than the back line of Lovren, Matip and Moreno.

Lovren and Karius have also improved with confidence since VVD has come in and I think they will be fine tonight.
