This. Roma played well against us and could have easily drawn the game at Camp Nou or lost 2-1 or 3-2 at worst.

They got an ass whopping tonight despite their two late goals. Liverpool won't sit back and try to defend. They will try to score on the counter and they will score and go to the final.

Correct. Question is we have to ask, why we were so bad in CL this season? Our team just cares about less than others? It doesn't seem like we have the same intensity in CL as other teams. They just want it more.

We need fresh legs, players without huge amount of trophies (like Dembele and Coutinho) and drive to be the best. Right now we are team full of entitled players who are not giving enough effort in CL to win it. Their intensive level is lacking compared to others. Real goes all-in for trese competitions. We don't seem to have the same attitude or winning mindset in CL. We like to win LaLiga and Copa Dey Rel, but that's where our efforts go.. To waste basically. (potential wise)

Klopp managed to destroy this Roma team with Henderson and freaking Milner playing in midfield.

Even our below-par midfielders are better than those guys.

Barca are a bunch of idiots.

Better at what? Henderson and Milner were pressing like mad dogs all game. Who does that from our midfield? Iniesta? Busquets, CAM Messi? :lol: Please...

I think that's irrelevant. Playing at that stadium in Rome is already a sole reason strong enough to come out with all the guns firing. It is very unlikely though of course. If Roma score two in the first half and do not concede, they will have a good chance.

Henderson and Milner are the definition of work horses. Not Paulinho who forgets his position and runs towards the box. These two pressed like crazy, covered a lot of ground and kept their position all the time.

Man, Roma is not that bad. Their pressing is phenomenal. They are playing way better than they are and it is due to the intensity their coach has impressed upon them. Remarkable stuff really.

This, we don't have the individuals to press. No enough lungs in this team.
Quit frankly, we lack true workhorses in the team. Talking about true workhorse not Paulinho pseudo workhorse

if he continues to chase the unbeaten record and refuses to start dembele every game after we seal liga v deportivo...he should be sacked before pre-season.

that would be all the indication we need he won't integrate griezmann, arthur, or any other player we buy for CL next season.

I think he will continue to chase that unbeaten record just for his personal glory. Who knows if he will be here next season and after he leaves us i doubt he will ever coach a top team again.

It's not irrelevant. It shows that Roma are a weak team. They're 4th in the Serie A for a reason. If you actually try to play a football game against them and play like a proper, big team, it shouldn't be so complicated to win against them.

Barca were barely the best team at home.

In cl you have to attack with speed. Our slow ass bunch of old men are finished. Next season even our league campaign will be shit. Mark my words.

When we won cl in 2015 we were a more direct attacking team.

Pressing doesn't take talent mate.

Our midfielders are more talented than those guys but weren't performing anywhere near them.

Hence why EV and the rest of the clowns at this club should hang their heads in shame.

I think it is irrelevant for the course of one game that lasts 90 minutes at home turf. Stranger things have happened. Also Roma hasn't conceded a single goal at home this season in CL.
