Anyone actually confident today? I am

The way we play and take the game to the opposition, puts me at relative ease. I think Roma will be in for a difficult evening and we will turn them over much the same way Barca did in the first leg. If we can keep a clean sheet and keep Dzeko quiet, we will have done well.

I'm more confident than I was before West Brom, but less confident than I was before city.

I think we're better than them and should win at home, but anything can happen and Dzeko will definitely be a handful for us.

A clean sheet is important, but I don't think we'll keep one so we'll need goals, a lot of them!

I think our draw at the weekend, and also what Roma did to Barca will be to our advantage.

We shouldn't be caught off guard.

Yeah trying to WUM the 1 English team in the semis of the CL would be a bit lame for fans of any other English club really...

Agreed. And even the Spuds are behaving like grown ups recently.

Should be a good game.

[Cbull]

I'll go 2-0 us

[Blib]

I'd like Liverpool to win the whole thing. I love the way they play. However, I don't want any of you lot to win.

Try as I might, I can't square this circle.......

What would be a good result tonight given Roma overturned a 4-1 deficit vs Barcelona?

I expect Roma to have learned a great deal from their defeat in the first leg at Barca and impose the traditional Italian european away tactics to nullify our attacking threat. Roma will also be very aware of Salah’s strengths and how to play against him.

This will be Klopp’s biggest test yet at Liverpool when you consider the other semi final contains Real Madrid, a team that is 15 points behind Barcelona, Roma hammered Barcelona.

I'm looking forward to another incredible atmosphere!

Overturning such a deficit against decent opposition is a difficult task to repeat. We had a decent game against Dortmund and then couldn’t do it against Sevilla.

I think Barca thought they were already in the semi's, (so did everyone else tbf) Roma caught them off guard in the return leg and they never recovered.

As I said before, hopefully Klopp will use Barca's loss and our weekends balls up to motivate the team to give 100% in both legs.

[Chris Stott]

Excited and nervous at the same time

With the way we play, I think it's good we have the 1st leg at home (Anfield is going to rock tonight) - hoping for a similar performance to the one against City.

So punching another player whilst they lay on the floor is not a red card offence... right!

I just can't believe that he hasn't been banned for this. It is blatant he makes a fist and punches him (albeit not particularly hard) He must have paid the panel a decent amount of his weekly salary!

In other news, Roma show a bit of class by laying a wreath Hillsborough memorial

I am not sure whats happened to BCM, he hardly ever posts on the Spurs thread now and goes around the others posting nice things

Nice touch from Roma, I think that the majority of the fans will agree and hopefully keep the Neanderthals on a short leash when Roma's coach arrives at Anfield.

Spurs are back to being best of the rest, so they can't exactly laud it over everyone any more.

[TaylotS2K]

Just wanted to wish the Roma team bus all the best for tonight's game.

This. The tranquillity in the MUFC thread is a delight

BT Sport's scene setting for tonight. Some good footage in this, incl a quick interview with ex City player Kolarov, now playing at Roma, and the Roma team visiting the memorial.

Spurs, "Best of the Rest" ? So you think Spurs are better than Liverpool?

On another note good luck tonight, suspect you'll destroy them at Anfield.

I’m seriously debating getting BT sport for a couple of months just in case we get to the final,

I can normally get a good stream but would be devastated if it dropped out during the semifinals or final.
