This analysis is how I see it, Dippers are very vulnerable to big Forwards like Edin Dzeko, they will beThis won’t be easy for them like many are saying. Roma’s midfield will dominate the game. They scored 3 against Chelsea twice and beat Barca 4-1. They also won’t be afraid of the atmosphere as the stadio olympico is louder than Anfield and have a Rome derby this weekend against lazio to adjust to a loud atmosphere.
Liverpool centre backs will struggle with Dzeko and schick’s ability in the air and their crossing ability. They will know how to deal with salah too and they aren’t ashamed to sit back and play on the counter unlike Pep. This will be a 50/50 game for me.
This.....I've been increasingly impressed with Di Francesco's coaching for Roma especially this half of the season, where I've seen his team despatch Napoli, Chelsea & Barcelona with tactical nous.
I fully expect him to do his homework and nullify the Dippers strengths perhaps with either a West Brom-esque or Maureen performance.
Is this 2 legs or just the 1 game?
Bang on.But you are a supporter of the elite, so you would say that would you not? Future rankings based on historical performance? That will never happen. Top 4 of the 4 top Europeam leagues qualifying straight for the group stages? That will never happen. FFP being brought in if any 'inter-lopers' try to crash the party. Surely not? A clubs 'individual coefficient' (history again) determining how much 'prize money' teams will get from 2018? That really would never happen, would it?
There were about 2 Liverpool players in a combined 11 with us but they're still in the semi. Pretty sure Liverpool will go through tbh.Combined Roma -Liverpool team
Alisson
Florenzi Manolas Van Dijk Robertson
De rossi
Naingolan Strongman
Salah Dzeko Mane
More Roma players in that team than Liverpool players so it will come down to the managers.
I’m married to a Dipper but still seriously contemplating getting a Roma shirt for the games..I hope Roma absolutely smash them

A Liverpool fan said that Roma are a not a great side but at the moment are in a great run of form. When I said to him that he had just described his own team he thought I was taking the mick.
I was being light hearted in that remark although I do think we were hard done by the officials over the tie. The bit you edited out of my post mentioned shitting pants at anfield which was referring to us bottling it in the first half of that first leg. I wouldn't have said that if I held uefa responsible for our exit. I do think uefa fix the draws though.I'm talking about stuff like this:
lets hope your team bus gets trashed in rome
