      I'm a bit concerned that everyone seems to be writing Roma off and has us in the final already!  I've  got Utd mates telling me it's nailed on!!  These clattered Barca 3-0 so can obviously play and will be very tough.  They know Salah so will presumably have a plan for him.  All things being equal, we should have enough.  The old European adage applies, don't concede at home whilst hopefully getting a couple of goals.  C'MON YOU MIGHTY REDS!!!
      I'm personally not writing Roma off,they deserve there place in the semi just like the reds,they are a very good side & will pose a significant threat but at the same time if I'm being honest I thought city was the tougher tie,admittedly we are  more familiar with city & how they play with them being an English side so in that respect Roma will be a different kettle of fish but I'm still confident of us getting to the final .

      Crazy nervous about this one, to go out in the semis is heart breaking, almost worse than losing the final.
      I'm going for a 1-0 win tonight, then a 1-1 draw next week.

      This could be a tricky tie over 2 legs. They have got some really good players. Our defence against Dzeko will be interesting and our attack against Allison, I guess we'll see how good he really is. Personally  if they go 3 at the back I think we'll be ok. We've had some success with teams playing that way in Europe, well we blew Hoffenheim away anyway. Hoping we keep a clean sheet but I can't see it somehow. Big game for Karius tonight I'm going 2-1 to us.

      No matter what happens we cannot concede. That’s the most important thing. Our boys can handle the away team pressure and score in Rome. Just stay tight. Reckon big Virg is going to be up for this one.

      Italians are famous for defending, bu ti do believe we have the players with ability to take defenders on and beat them which should open up other options.

      3-0 for me.

      Whatever the results in this game and in Rome, I'm already very happy. I'm not expecting too much, I don't expect us to come this far but we did and whatever better than this is definitely a bonus. We're a top 5 club in Europe, so we're in the elite class already. Let's stay 100% focused and grind out the results. Roma is not unstoppable, their ammunition is in midfield and high crosses into the box. We win the midfield battle and cut out those crosses into our box, we would have neutralized their threat.

      In the Barca game, Roma moved swiftly from their own half into Barca's half and next the ball is at Dzeko's feet. We need to distrupt them in midfield. Let's hope the crowd outside the stadium don;t do anything stupid.

      Fookin buzzzinn already, 6hrs(there's that number again) to go until another nerve shredding 90+mins,
      THIS IS NOT CITY, going to be a lot different i feel, however i still believe that our name is on 'Ol Big Ears' but getting past Roma will prove our biggest test,

      Any side that can get the better of Messi and his wee catalonian brethren deserve the upmost respect, and i think Jürgen will have this very much in mind,
      I don't expect us to go all out for the throat i think Jürgen will be cautious especially the first half hour,
      That's not to say we won't be trying for a early lead,  for me it's more important that we keep a clean sheet, doing so will be a massive advantage going to Rome,
      and if we can score two or more that'll do for me,
      Yes I'd love it we bagged 3, 4, but a clean sheet and two up would be absolutely fantastic,

                               Karius
          Trent  Lovren Van Dijk Robertson
                            Henderson
                  Oxlade               Milner
              Salah      Firmino    Mane


      C'MON REDMEN!!!!!

      Clean sheet is what we primarly ineed tonight.

      Scoring to get us through will happen in the second leg when they'll be looking for a goal.

      So let's make them be in the need for at least one goal there.

      We must be really carefull with giving stupid free kicks...Kolarov has great passing ability with Džeko waiting for header.

      Got a feeling Salah might start on the left wing?... As a tactical change to throw Roma off?.

      I wish I didn't have this bad feeling but I really think this will be tricky and we might need a win in Rome.

      I hope I'm wrong but head says 2-2 draw tonight.
