I'd choose TAA as he's further progressed than Woodburn. If we can choose between TAA, a fit Clyne and Gomez at right back then we've actually got strength in depth there.

 

Agree & might be a good option later on, but assume Jurgen sees TAA as the right back for next Wednesday so doubt he will be in mids for Stoke.

Expect they’ll play a cagier game in the 2nd leg. They v visibly ran themselves out trying to maintain their shape with the high press in the first 20 minutes. If they do it again in the 2nd leg you’d expect us to take control from there. Old heavy legged team. But If they can go in 1-0 up at half time they’ll fancy it ..

 

Olympico is a big, open pitch with the fans far away from the action, which should suit us. Barca will have tried to play through the midfield; we entirely bypass that when we attack

I think the big pitch will definitely suit us, we had them so stretched at times there were gaps as wide as the Mersey.

I'm just praying we score first, not sure my ticker can take the stress.

Would be great to see him in the 2nd leg cheering for us!

The lad with the hammer must have thought they were playing Everton and expected to have to do a few on the spot repairs when he got to the ground.

[Ranxerox]

I think we'll see them off comfortably so long as we don't have any more injuries.

[dockers_strike]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Sean Cox.

[Em City]

Jesus, I actually know him. He's from my hometown.

[Creator Supreme]

If they are 12/1 to qualify, I think I'll stick 100 on it. If they do somehow go through I'll spend the 1200 winnings on things to shove up my arse until I pass out.

Or Wednesday night as you call it!

Excellent tit bounce on Rushie's bird.

[Tony Moanero]

Kenny even makes a high five look cool!

[ZonkoVille77]

I love how Kenny still has the same celebration he had after scoring goals. I love the man.

[El Rojo]

Have to admire the wily Romans’ tactic of taking the sting out of the game by conceding five goals and losing every single battle all over the pitch.

Let's hope they carry that tactic through to the next leg.

[sir roger]

Very surprised John Henry et al didn't bother showing their faces. How often do they attend Red Sox games ?

[Pidge]

After anyone scored for Liverpool, always does the exact same thing - he'd be jumping and skipping away as well if he was on the pitch. 

 

Love the way Salah did it when Mane scored as well (won't celebrate for his own, lost it for Sadio).

[The Guest]

Looks a very defensive line up from roma might struggle to break them down

This is surely a parody account.

[Anny Road]

I'm going to stick my neck out and predict a 2-1 win that leaves the tie in the balance for the second leg.

 

40 - Milner (penalty)

58 - Salah

88 - Dzeko

Bullshit like this never gets reposted when it turn out to be the ramblings of an attention seeking nob. You can bet your life if it was anywhere close said nob would have been posting it and tweeting it like he was Nostradamus. It never gets called out.

 

Im calling it out. Nob.

Stadio Olimpico is not a big pitch. It is the same width as Anfield and 4 mtres longer ie 105 x 68m compared to Anfields 101 x 68m which is limited by the PLs rules that PL pitches should be the same dimensions except where stadium size physically limits the pitch. We had to reduce the width of Anfield by a couple of metres width and lengthwise on account of this. They are not going to find that much extra space against us there.

 

Edit some sites have their pitch as only 60m wide as it is inside a running track and the 105 x 68 is supposedly the grassed area.

[Pidge]

More space plays into our hands more than theirs, if anything...

[El Rojo]

We’re a much better side than them. I don’t think the pitch size will have much impact either way next week.
