Champions League Semi Finals (24th April - 2nd May)

[Sandikan]

Hoping Nainggolan can pull something out of the bag in the 2nd half.

Who was the poster who laughingly said that Liverpool wouldn't be able to deal with Roma's midfield!

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

It was not a stupid mindset. City are the better team.

It was an incredibly stupid mindset. League dominance doesn't mean anything in knockout competitions. We know this because the better team were f*cking stuffed 5-1.

 

[donkeyfish]

You’d trust Bayern or Madrid to beat Liverpool the same way Milan were trusted to beat them in 07.

Good point.

 

[Red Star One]

Come on Roma you useless lot, get one at least, pull a fecking West Brom

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Roma manager is so naive. To play such a high line against Liverpool is just playing right into their hands. Awful tactics.

 

[Captain Obvious]

Why are people saying "thanks to all those who wanted Liverpool to beat city"

Our mindsets dont affect any of this, its our own fault for getting dad-dicked by Sevilla and letting Liverpool get this close!

 

[Dumbstar]

Still nervy. One away goal and it's back on.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

Although Klopp loses most of his finals, when you're name's on the cup, it's on there!

The fecking theatrical cnut is bound to get lucky at some point, that’s the scary part for me.

His German mate Brych will probably be refereeing again. Fecking hell what a disaster this is turning out to be.

 

[Obi-Red-Kenobi]

They win a CL. We have had two joke managers and a euphoric Europa Leage, Carling Cup and an FA CUP or 2 to fire back at them. We win. Lulz.

To be honest, I would take the Champions League over those trophies any day of the week. It’s in the blood. I suspect most UTd fans would too.

 

[Cal?]

I've consistently said Liverpool would win this CL, now the majority are coming round to it. We lost our right of reply when we couldn't beat Sevilla over two legs.. funnily enough with joses tactics we would have had the best chance at stopping the scousers.

6 times soon to be realised.

I hate them so much I can't bring myself to watch any of their CL games, I don't know why you lot do it to yourselves..

Ronaldo will stop them

 

[Klopper76]

Big half coming up. Roma scoring would test the nerves.

 

[Raoul]

Schick on - I hear he glides smoothly across the contours of the pitch.

 

[Bastian]

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.

OK McCarthy.

 

[cyberman]

That is not something you switch on or off. Jose plays Liverpool like that because that is how we play in general. We don't press. We play a deep line.

Teams can't just nullify their entire attack in order to park the bus and still get beat.

Its not parking the bus though?
Top sides should be able to adapt. Judging by their top 6 mini league performances many have.
Watch our game at OT or both Spurs games, thats how you counter Liverpool without parking the bus. Its controlled positioning when you're not in possession.
As an aside, results like these is why I hate the modern mockery of great defending. Not many do it in the persuit of acceptance.
Well done Pep.

 

[Sanchezter]

Anyone who is asking for those who wanted Liverpool to beat City to be banned are pathetic.

I really hate the scousers and their gurning leader. But the comments here are incredibly immature. A few posters wanting a Liverpool win didn't acutally affect the QF result, City simply weren't good eniugg. Nothing to do with the Caf.

The way Roma are playing, they wouldn't have caused any problems to City either and then we'd have been whining the opposite way.

I'm a long time reader of the Caf and have seen some 'interesting' posts but some of these make uncomfortable reading, it's almost as bad as RAWK!

 

[Adisa]

Quick question. I've seen the 'la' posted many of times. What does it mean?

Mocking the Liverpudlian accent.

 

[TrueRed79]

Klopps record in finals is terrible. Liverpool are tougher to beat over two legs and not in a one-off game. Fancy Bayern or Real to do them in Kiev.

 

[The Taurean]

Need that away goal to pressure liverpool.

 

[VeevaVee]

Roma's entire game plan was seemingly binned off after looking totally comfortable. They look spooked.

Soon as they started losing possession easily near the half way line they were fecked with that high line. Liverpool will pounce on that.

 

[Bobski]

It is Roma, we should have known better, they are the Spurs of Italy.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Save us Ronaldo

 

[MUFC OK]

Ronaldo will stop them

I wish I could believe you.

Roma need an away goal.. there's no way Liverpool won't score at their place.

 

[buck3y3nut]

Mocking the Liverpudlian accent.

Cheers mate. Thanks for the explanation.

 

[GeorgieBoy]

OK McCarthy.

Tongue in cheek.

 

[golden_blunder]

Why are people saying "thanks to all those who wanted Liverpool to beat city"

Our mindsets dont affect any of this, its our own fault for getting dad-dicked by Sevilla and letting Liverpool get this close!

It’s more a knock on those who think Liverpool were the lesser of 2 evils.

So much as well for the “Roma will hammer them” brigade

 

[giorno]

Roma shat themselves after that first big mane chance, from there it's been suicide. Lacking everything

And Flo needs to throw monopoly money at liverpool and salah if we can't get neymar.

On second thought, even if we do get neymar

 

[tomaldinho1]

Now watch Roma do a WBA

Liverpool 2 : 2 Roma

Do you really think this United would have beaten anyone in the quarters?

 

[pocco]

Kevin Strootman. Glad we never signed him, can't believe so many wanted him.

 

[montpelier]

5-0 this, 5-1 if we're lucky

 

[Newman123]

How did this Roma beat Barca? It should have been Barca hammering Pool right now.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

You’d trust Bayern or Madrid to beat Liverpool the same way Milan were trusted to beat them in 05. The fact is when Liverpool get past the group stages in the CL they become possessed and obsessed with it.

The only saving grace is that Real Madrid are the same.

Liverpool should have lost it was only Milan's arrogance that let them back in.

 

[Eyepopper]

I'd say these BT commentators have gone the whole hog in the studio at half time, stripped naked, smothered themselves in baby oil, brought in the fleshlights.

Or you could be a Barca fan and see Real lift the CL trophy 4 times in the last 5 years. Imagine if Liverpool did that.

 

[Minimalist]

Hoddle about to cum in his pants over the kop.

Well done Pep.

Playing a deep line and not pressing in Liverpool's half? That's really close to parking the bus.

We were able to counter Liverpool without parking the bus because our team is setup to do so. We play the same way against other sides too. We don't go 180 and become prime Barcelona against Crystal Palace.

 

[RedDevil@84]

How did this Roma beat Barca? It should have been Barca hammering Pool right now.

Barca didn't bother to attack. Liverpool doesn't know anything but attack.

 

[Judge Red]

How did this Roma beat Barca?

By coming back after a first leg beating.

 

[Pink Moon]

How did this Roma beat Barca? It should have been Barca hammering Pool right now.

Never underestimate how shite Barca's defence is.

 

[Jagga7]

Cant stand Liverpool or Real. I'm really hoping Bayern can do it.

 

[Cal?]

I wish I could believe you.

Roma need an away goal.. there's no way Liverpool won't score at their place.

Roma are done, we need Real to do what they do in the CL.
