I cant see Liverpool winning the competition. It could have been a tougher route through for them, but I just dont get that feeling of dread I had in 2005. I think there's mounting expectation on this lot now and I dont think they handle expectation too well.

This Roma tie will be very interesting and the final (though more of a toss up with a class team and therefore winnable) still looks like a tall order for them.

They're on a roll davek.
They have adapted well to the European campaign and I can easily see them in the final.
I took some comfort for the tie against City in the knowledge it was a two leg affair and City would prevail.
In a one off game even against Real or Bayern I couldn't write them off not for one moment.

For me: I wouldn't write ANY of these four off. The overwhelming favourites though are still Madrid. If they hold off Bayern I cant see them losing a final of this magnitude. It's Real Madrid. It's the European Cup. It's virtually a done deal.

Absolute codswallop. That's the best draw for you and you know it.

UEFA made sure you beat City with not one, but several contentious decisions going in your favour - i'd have put my mortgage on you drawing the worst team of the 3 remaining.

A few weeks ago I was practically laughed off here for suggesting that Man City was the ideal draw for Liverpool, especially over 2 legs. That's because I believe that Liverpool are far more effective against teams that come at them, especially those that like to play out of from the back. Though there were one or two refereeing decisions that went against City, I was still not in the slightest surprised that Liverpool came through that tie and reasonably comfortably too.

Unlike most on here, I was also happy to see Roma knock Barcelona out the other night, and would have been happy to see Juventus do the same to Madrid. That's because I also believe Liverpool would have the edge over both Spanish clubs. Whereas both Roma and Juventus would be happy to let Liverpool have the ball. They are both defensively strong and have the players to hurt Liverpool on the counter.

So I'm happy they've drawn Roma.

Bayern to beat Roma in the final for me.;)
 

If they get to the final, I'm putting money on them.
Nea.

After having a wedge on Milan in Istanbul, I'm not putting myself through it again.
 
Typical of these lot to draw the worst team in the competition besides maybe Bayern, and of course they can't draw themselves...

I won't have an appetite until they get knocked off...

whats your problem lad, I can't stand them and we just knew that they would draw Roma in the semi, with them being the outsiders of the four with the bookies.

This is my problem, i come here to speak to fellow blues about actual football debate. Bitter reds don't talk logically about football, they just spout utter minure and can't actually detach themselves from their football club when trying to comprehend everyday views such as those on racism etc. If you're a bitter red then fine, i'll just stick you on ignore, but if you're so ashamed of your own football team that you have to pretend to support a rival then i feel really sorry for you. You just can't have a normal conversation with a liar.

And it's the perennial final loser in charge of the opposition.

If they get the help they got against City they could beat any team that has ever existed. That's what I'm worried about, I'd say they're probably the worst team left in the competition and absolutely miles behind Madrid and Munich but you never know.

I've got to admit to fighting the temptation to both watch and/or listen to their games, after all I support Everton.
So the thing is this, these decisions that seem to go for them, or perceived assistance from officials are they that obvious or just us getting paranoid?
