Could have been 10...not even joking....if Klopp leaves Salah on Roma don’t commit so many forward and if they do Liverpool score more. Reds will score in Rome at least once.....going through to final. Walk on.

C'mon Roma on behalf of all football fans you have one job
Nuh mate, as a neutral I would rather see a free flowing Liverpool in a final than any Italian team.Quote:

Athletico Madrid are a very good team. I won't slag us off because we missed some chances, I think Athletico were just better set up to deal with the card then we were.Quote:

First yellow (after 90 seconds mind) was a bit soft.Quote:

The whole Atletico bench erupted & Simeone was sent off.
Right. Cheers.Quote:

All to play for in the second leg. Arsenal get a goal and it's game on.
Again, only from what I saw, it was great to see a lot of passion at the Emirates. Seemed a hostile atmosphere at times.
Best part of the entire thing, Santi Cazorla came out onto the pitch and warmed up for a bit. A few fans got there really early and saw him. Supposedly back in training in 2 weeks. So happy, he is a great player and seems like a great bloke. Hopefully he can regain his fitness and be back playing for us next year.Quote:

If we had won this morning 3-1 say I think we would have set up wrong in Madrid and lost. Now we just have to go for it. I can see the return leg being a 0-0 or 0-1 affair to see who goes through.
Those first leg leads just have not been that strong in a lot of cases this year in Europe.Quote:

Pretty sure if you look through the record books Garcia’s name is on the score sheet for that oneQuote:

I remember watching the game and from all replays shown I cannot say if the ball crossed the line or not. Personally I don not care if it did or not, I do not follow either Liverpool or Chelsea, but I do think StannyCFCJET and the team he follows was hard done by on that day.Quote:

For all the posturing made by the English media about Real being terrified of Liverpool i'd say they aren't too fussed. Well done Liverpool though.
I can see this being a Real Madrid vs Athletico Madrid UEFA super cup game next season.
I didn't watch the game because I was up late producing the Grand Final preview podcast and couldn't burn the candle at both ends. I've recorded it.Quote:

I reckon Liverpool are suffering from not securing their Top 4 spot earlier, which could given them the ability to rotate and rest, while copping a number of injuries in the one area they have depth (midfield - Can, Lallana and Ox).
Feels a bit like the rubber band is stretching and some pressure needs to be released before it snaps.
Liverpool looked awful.
Madrid are betting favourites.
I wasn't that impressed by Madrid in their semi either, to be fair. I thought Bayern outplayed them in both legs. Madrid just have that ability to "win". Liverpool more than capable of putting in a blitz performance though. Will be a fascinating final.
Didn’t think we were too terrible. We looked like a team that won 5-2 previously and just needed to go through the motions. But we are not that type of team.
Hopefully we take it to them!
Carn Madrid. Hatrick to Ronnie please
Come on Stanny, you got something against attacking football??Quote:

Both these things always make me giggle.
**** John Terry.

I don't know why Arsenal didn't have a shot or play an early ball into the "corridor of uncertainty" and push their luck - instead they wanted to pass the ball in the net.
Frustrating.
