And it was better for Liverpool to knock out City because Liverpool have literally no chance of winning the CL.
Champions League Semi Finals (24th April - 2nd May)

Yeah, its really stupid. It's like that for a lot of teams when they face Liverpool. Its like they panic and have a mental breakdown instead of keeping shape against them. It's no surprise really that pool often lose points against bottom-clubs, as they usually are more rugged and disciplined as a team. It is really unprofessional from Roma in a semifinal tho
You just know that Bayern will win tomorrow, and that'll be curtains for hopes of stopping them
But horrible defense, they always concede. Liverpool's speed will eat them alive.
Long ball tactics from Liverpool. 
Imo anyone who cheered for Liverpool should get temp banned.
If Bayern win, it'll also be 6 times la.
Actually, Bayern and Madrid have the best backline in the competition. Heynckes already beat Klopp in a CL finale.
Remember Liverpool bottled after 2-0 or 3-0 couple of times.
There were a few less clinical finishes before that from Mane.
If they didn't have Salah, they'd be shit.
I really do wish he'd stop scoring, with like, everything,.

.Amateur tactics from Roma. You just can't allow Salah with that much amount of room. We had Ashley Young mark him out of the game so it can be do
Well that's just lovely. I guess I'll just hope and pray that we get the good Real in the semis and final.
Better team for 20 mins while nothing happened then shat their pants. Awful approach to the game from them.Roma's entire game plan was seemingly binned off after looking totally comfortable. They look spooked.
What a low quality game. It doesn't feel like a Champions League game at all let alone a semi-final match. Quality in football has seriously decreased in the last 10 years or so really.
Barca foolishly parked the bus and didn't even try for an away goal. If they played that match the way they played those last ten minute it would be a different story, but a very very poor showing.
Roma don’t know Liverpool, this manager obviously has no clue. Did he ever watch the United-games? Did he phone up Mourinho to ask him how to beat them like we did? Amazingly poor.
Liverpool have looked amazing since Oxlade went off the pitch, but it’s also highly contributes by a high line from Roma. Most naive approach I’ve probably ever seen at the highest level.

Nainggolan is class!
They said it was just because they played City. Apparently no one else is stupid enough to play a high line against Liverpool. Oh wait...
That's enough for me.
What a clusterfeck of a season this'll be if they win the CL. That coupled with City's title stroll is one giant fecking nightmare for United fans.
We're being punished, I swear.

Salah ily
When OX left for Wiljanldum, that's when the tide of the game changed.
Yep, and Liverpool will beat Bayern with absolute ease, it would be a bloodbath. Or a tearbath, our tears.
This.
2-0.
This is ending 4-0 and a complete write off second game.
No chance Roma are scoring, and despite their ridiculous Barcelona comeback they're not coming back second leg.
Knocking it to Dzeko stiltlegs isn't happening.
I cannot believe Roma have turned up here and decided to play with a high line.
It's utterly suicidal. Horrendous management.

People can convince themselves of anything, as soon as the draw was made there was only one outcomeThat’s certainly what I’m doing.
It's 2005 all over again.
Ssshhh, don't say that too loudly - they are the footballing purists according to the media.
Was over 10 years ago when that utter dross Liverpool team fluked their way to win it. At least this one has a genuinely brilliant attack.
This season is like 2005 all over again.
Knew this would happen. feck it. Bring on next season
Yep, they've not been able to get a hold of him at all, Ox was being easily contained.
Can we retrospectively ban anyone who wanted Liverpool to beat City with the thinking that Pool were the worse team and less likely to progress further? Such a stupid mindset.
They will definitely beat Bayern. Real would give them more issues.
The alarming thing is how teams seem not be able to deal with their super average goalie, defence and midfield!
And rename site to rawk 2 after.
They're going to win the CL - "six times" - might as well get used to the fact now
6 mal Junge ayeIf Bayern win, it'll also be 6 times la.
I meant Bayern to beat both madrid and Liverpool in the final
People must be going crazy in Egypt. I imagine them in hookah bars in Cairo all watching this game and going wild with Salah goals
Roma have no pace up front for the quick counter.
It's Scouse slang...
These lot will be a fecking nightmare to deal with.if they win the CL. Roma better get an away goal
