Anyone who thinks Liverpool are favourites to win this tie should have a close look at Roma's track record this season. To me, its more even, 50:50.
Roma has a world class GK in Alisson; solid back line; talented strong midfield; and a wily goal poacher in Dezko upfront. Not forgetting an astute tactician in Di Francesco, their manager.
They don't concede many goals and also seem to sneak in a goal or two in away matches.
Its going to be an interesting tactical battle between Klopp and Di Francesco, because I don't think Roma is going to play from the back, which suits Liverpool's style of high counter press game. Instead their defence shall probably sit deep, crowd the midfield and play high balls to Dezko. Naturally also make full use of dead ball/set piece situations as well.
So Liverpool have to be patient, disciplined, organised, tough, resilient and clinical. I am confident our fab front 3 will perform, so the concern now is directed at our midfield, defense and GK to get it right.
Tbh i would even be ok with 0-0 and happy with 1-0 tomorrow night, because it is vital for us not to concede an away goal in this tricky tie. Anything more would be bonus.
Also please no unnecessary cards and no injuries as well.
Fingers crossed all goes well at Anfield tomorrow night.
Come on you Reds
