ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[maccavennie]

How many goals do Roma need?

9.........or 3 if Salah doesn't play and their manager actually decides to set up like a professional team should

 

[anton66]

It’s there’s that trophy And we have FS as manager lol sad times for us evertonians

And these media clowns will still come out with.......... you should be grateful sam saved us from relegation, what more do you want?

I said in a post earlier today that if Roma set up with 3 at the back with Fazio as slow as a carthorse and leave 1v1's for the RS front 3 they will get blitzed.

The tie is over,the RS will score 2-3 over there against that slow defence and also play thorough that unbelievably slow midfield 3 of Naingolan Strootman and Di Rossi.

Shocking from the Roma manager playing 3 at the back in a high line.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that they’ll win the Champions League this season.

Those spawny ar*****es have gone way too long without flukily winning a major trophy. Ronaldo will probably miss the final with food poisoning.

 

[wilfjacko]

You mean not bottle games? I fully agree.

Or do you mean win a derby game? Agree with that as well

Play with a bit of pride? Yeah agree with that.

Which one mate? I'm sick of watching a bunch of spineless blue shirts get nowhere or even look arsed. Playing for 10 minutes a game. It would be nice to have a few more players with the heart of Coleman on the pitch, might actually get somewhere then

Get to feckin bed.

Well it's all on the final now. Another first leg unassailable lead in this competition for that 'kin lot...I expect them to make it through by the odd goal in the end though as Roma will win the second leg.

They are obviously THE team to beat now in this.

The big question will be how they cope in the final. Either of the two teams they'll face have way more experience of those occasions and it'll count for a lot. If it gets tight and Liverpool aren't getting their way they'll need to find another game plan. I dont think they have it. If they handle the final then we better prepare for the worst in terms of the next few seasons.

It's a dire time to be an Evertonian.

Just in case you weren't suffering enough tonight you can indulge in / read the comments.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

How many goals do Roma need?

At least 7 because the RS will easily put another 3 past them in Italy.

I’ve never seen such a poor defence at such a late stage of the CL.

Yep. Ball over the top several times in the 1st half. Schoolboy stuff. Salah running into open space. At least try and make it hard for them.

I’m leaning towards wanting Bayern to play them in the final. Real will be over confident and not concentrate on defending.

 

[Soap]

I hate them.

 

[wilfjacko]

Let it go lads. I've hated them all my life and it used to eat me up when they won stuff, but you know what? It's not worth it. Your better reaching the stage I'm at now and only caring about Everton while being bluntly dispassionate about everyone else, including them because following the blues leaves us with more then enough heartache. Seriously, it's surprisingly liberating to be this way. It's also incredibly annoying for them when confronted by a "bitter blue" who honestly doesn't give the tiniest of tiny F's about them.

I like you blue.
Not sure you're telling the whole truth tho.

...that said, they do have very good defenders.

In a one off shoot out Madrid has to be favourites even against Liverpool the way they're playing.

As said, dont underestimate the enormity of the occasion getting to a team with zero experience of these games. It'll impact on them for sure.

 

[Neiler]

Flying without Ings to be fair to them.

all is lost, time to leave the city
