    Started a ‘game thread’ ahead of Tuesday’s unbelievably huge Champions League Semi Final 1st Leg.

    This has to be our starting X1:

    Karius, TAA, Lovren, VVD, Robbo, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Ox, Mane, Firmino and Salah.

    Was going to put Milner in there and he could well start ahead of Wijnaldum but I think Klopp will save Milner until he’s absolutely needed (if we’re ahead with 30 left) but a shoe-in to start in Italy.

    Roma have some cracking players and have had a great campaign topping their tough group containing Chelsea and Ath. Madrid. Roma tend to go 433 but they did that in Barcelona and got tonked so they may pack midfield and go 4231 with Dzeko up top on his Jack Jones.

    I think we’re gonna do ’em but I also think Roma will sneak one. 3-1 for us.

    1-0 win for us or 1-1 draw. The italians are gonna come to anfield and park a double decker bus. Expect a packed midfield from roma, sitting deep defence and not alowing space for salah and mane to get in behind. I got a feeling the 1st leg is gonna be a tight affair.

    I also expect nainggolan, strootman, de rossi to dominate our midfield.

    A score draw is in no way a good result for us at home. I think this tie is gonna come down to away goals.
    We need to win and ideally with a clean sheet.
    Roma have not conceded a goal at home in the CL. Doesn’t mean we can’t but it illustrates how hard it is.

    But they do concede on the road (11 in their last 4 CL away games). Let’s turn up that heavy metal!

    OMFG IT’S NEARLY HERE!

    I will admit that iw as freaking out about the Man city game for days before but with this one, I’m not. Now, let me be clear, I think I’m one of the fans who is more cautious regards this game. I don’t think this will be a walk in the park at all and to assume we’ll win is insane. It’s just that this one doesn’t feel like it’s been a long time coming.

    But here it is, the semi finals of the CL , in less than 15 hours.

    HOLY SHIT.

    Rob you are not far off with that team just think Milner may get in the team him & Hendo of worked well together.

    MrMak I have not come across many fans who think this is going to be a walk in the park. Most of us a quietly confident but are expecting a tough game.

    If we manage not to concede any goal then I beleive that we have more chances than Roma to reach the final. Our defence has been very weak and I do not know how we casn cope with Dzeko!!

    I’m fairly certain Henderson is suspended for tonight after picking up a yellow in the second leg against City.

    So I assume the middle will be Wijnaldum, Milner and Ox.

    Im not worried about midfield like some, Jimmy clocked up 15km in his last game, we will run them to the ground.

    Hendo was suspended for the second leg against city. Did he get a yellow from the bench? If so, I missed that one

    Roma have won just one of their past 14 away Champions League games (D5 L8), a 2-1 win at Qarabag earlier this season.

    we need to keep our cool. no silly yellows or sentings off.

    they will waste time, they will dive, they will jump on the ground etc

    we cant react. just get on with it and the crowd and team will get us over the line
